Remote Control V10.1.0 Fix Pack 3 GA

Features that are introduced in Remote Control V10.1.0 Fix Pack 3

AES 256 cryptographic algorithm enabled by default
With the new version of IBM WAS Liberty, AES 256 is now the default cryptographic algorithm, replacing AES 128 for stronger security. To ensure seamless operation and leverage this enhanced encryption, we highly recommend you regenerate your SAML Metadata.
If FIPS is enabled, this step is mandatory. You must regenerate your SAML Metadata to encrypt passwords with AES 256, as AES 128 encrypted passwords are no longer supported.
You can regenerate the SAML Metadata during the Remote Control Server upgrade procedure by selecting the appropriate flag. After regenerating the metadata, please remember to re-register with your Identity Provider.
Install Shield 2024 adoption
Install Shield 2024 has been used to build the Windows installers for the Controller, Target, Broker, and Gateway.

This product release adopts the following:
- IBM WAS Liberty version is 25.0.0.6
