In addition to the bug fixes, NCP provides the following enhancements and changes in OES 2018:
Beginning with OES 2018 SP2, NCP server supports encryption and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) capabilities. This increases the security of data transmitted across networks between the NCP server and clients. For more information on the NCP options to enable encryption and MFA, see Managing NCP Security Configurations in the OES 2018 SP2: NCP Server for Linux Administration Guide.
You must use the latest Client for Open Enterprise Server 2 SP5 to use this feature. For information on the Client side changes, see What’s New in Client for Open Enterprise Server 2 SP5 in the Client for Open Enterprise Server Release Notes.
