Remote Control V10.1.0 Fix Pack 5 GA

Features that are introduced in Remote Control V10.1.0 Fix Pack 5

Web Based Controller
This release introduces the Web Controller, allowing operators to start an active or monitor Broker Session directly from a browser via the Remote Control Lite Web Portal (LWP). This eliminates the need to install the standalone Controller application. Please note that this initial version has limited functionality compared to the standalone application: we plan to extend this new component by adding new features over time. For more information about Usage Notes and Limitations please refer to the Readme.
Rest API for Integration with Remote Control
New REST APIs enable integration with external products. These APIs allow users to check available Session Modes for specific computers and retrieve session details, recordings and history. Swagger UI is available to get the documentation and test the new REST APIs.
Single Sign-On (SSO) for Lite Web Portal (LWP)
SSO is now available for the Lite Web Portal, allowing users to log in seamlessly without manually entering credentials each time.
New Application Server and Java runtime
IBM WAS Liberty has been replaced with Open Liberty version 25, and the Java runtime has been upgraded to IBM Java Semeru version 25. The default keystore now is PKCS#12 (.p12). The Server now uses FFmpeg to export recordings so JMF and XVID are no longer needed. For more information about Usage Notes and Limitations please refer to the Readme.
New Java runtime and FIPS 140-3 support for the Controller
The Java runtime has been upgraded to IBM Java Semeru version 25. Now the Controller supports the FIPS 140-3 module. The Bouncy Castle dependency has been removed. For more information about Usage Notes and Limitations please refer to the Readme.
Azure SQL Managed Instance
The Remote Control Server database can now be hosted using the Azure SQL Managed Instance cloud service.

Security enhancements in Remote Control V10.1.0 Fix Pack 5
