SSL Support in PowerChute Agent

[BillP]

I have a Windows/2003 system that I just updated PowerChute Business Edition Agent to v9.2, although it displays as v9.0.3.604.  Is this correct?  My Windows/2008 Console and Server both updated to v9.2, but the Agents all stayed at 9.0.3.604.

I was hoping to solve the following SSL compliance issues, but did not:

SSL Certificate Chain Contains RSA Keys Less Than 2048 bits.
SSL Version 2 and 3 Protocol Detection.
SSL/TLS EXPORT_DHE <= 512-bit Export Cipher Suites Supported (Logjam).

Are there plans to upgrade SSL support in the PowerChute client?

Thanks.

Hi,

PowerChute Agent version 9.2 allows for SSL/TLS and is compatible with SMC, SMT, SMX, SURTD Smart-UPS. The reason Agent 9.0.3 is installed is because you have an older model Smart-UPS. If you upgrade to SMC, SMT, SMX, SURTD model Smart-UPS you can then install Agent version 9.2.

Knowledge Base document FA249593 discusses the options.

My problem is with the network communications betweem the Agent and the Server, but you are saying that I cannot upgrade my Agent because my UPS is too old?  The communication between the Agent and the UPS is a serial cable and should not be affected by the network communication.  Unless the v9.2 Agent does not support seral cable conenction to a UPS?

If that is true, will there ever be an update to Agent v9.0.3?

Thanks.

Carl,

I apologize. I thought you were asking SSL/TLS for e-mail. I should have read your post more closely. Logjam is being investigated. I will check with our security team and reply whey I receive a response.
