Remote Control V10.1.0 Fix Pack 6 GA

Features that are introduced in Remote Control V10.1.0 Fix Pack 6

Web Controller support for Unattended Sessions
This release introduces Web Controller support for unattended sessions, allowing operators to start an active or monitor unattended session directly from a browser via the Remote Control Lite Web Portal (LWP).
Additionally, the Firefox browser is now officially supported.
Note: The Web Controller currently has limited functionality compared to the standalone application. We plan to continuously enhance this new component with additional features in future releases. For detailed usage notes and limitations, please refer to the Readme.
Redesigned Lite Web Portal Homepage
The Lite Web Portal now features a completely redesigned homepage for an improved user experience.
REST API Support for Unattended Sessions
The Web Session Validation REST API now returns the loginURI required to establish an unattended session from the Lite Web Portal using the Web Controller.
Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable required on Windows to install Controller, Broker, Target, On-demand Target, Gateway and CLI
Starting from 10.1 FP6 in order to install or upgrade the Controller, Broker, Target, On-demand Target, Gateway and CLI on Windows please make sure to have the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable already installed to avoid the Error 1920. Service BigFix Remote Control - Target (TRCTARGET) failed to start. If not available, the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable can be downloaded from https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe.
Known Limitation
Please consider that starting from Remote Control Server version 10.1 FP6, due to a new limitation from Open Liberty (https://openliberty.io/blog/2026/04/21/26.0.0.4.html#ltpa), if the SSO is enabled then a new file server.env needs to be manually created after a fresh install or an upgrade into the folder [server_installation_path]/wlp/usr/servers/trcserver with the following content: keystore_password=<strong_password> after restarting the Server service the SSO can be used. This new file is needed to avoid the CWWKS4118E: LTPA configuration error.
