[BESAdmin-Announcements] BigFix Remote Control 10.1 is now available

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

HCL Software is pleased to announce the availability of BigFix Remote
Control version 10.1



***Reasons for Update:***


**
*TLSv1.3 Support****- *This release introduces support for Transport Layer
Security (TLS) version 1.3. By default, Remote Control components at
version 10.1 GA will operate in a backward compatibility mode. In this
mode, when the connection is between components at version 10.1, the
TLSv1.3 protocol is used; otherwise, the TLSv1.2 protocol is used. Once all
product components are updated to version 10.1, or in the case of deploying
a new Remote Control environment from scratch, it is possible to configure
the product to operate only in TLSv1.3 mode.


***Subject Alternate Name Support***

*- *Starting from this release, the certificate SAN is used when validating
the server identity. This can be useful, especially in scenarios where
dealing with Broker certificates involves distinct internal and external
broker names.


***Serviceability Enhancement***

*- *This release includes a four new fixlets in the maintenance category to
collect log files and configuration for the different components:

  408 - Collect Logs and Confs on BigFix Remote Control Target

  409 - Collect Logs and Confs on BigFix Remote Control Gateway

  410 - Collect Logs and Confs on BigFix Remote Control Broker

  411 - Collect Logs and Confs on BigFix Remote Control Server
