New version of N-central 2023.5

New version of N-central 2023.5

New version of N-central was released and this are some highlights:

Adjusted Default Branding
N-central 2023.5 has slightly adjusted the default branding colors for System, SO, Customer and Site levels to better meet accessibility standards.

Device Management for Apple
N-central 2023.5 allows a preview of additional functionality within Device Management for Apple. In this release, we're looking for partners wanting to preview our Mac OS Update and Zero Touch Enrollment functionalities. If you're interested, please email us at ncpreview@n-able.com.

Automation Manager 2.90
Automation Manager 2.90 is included with N-central 2023.5. In this version, we've updated the Office 365 objects to accomodate the changes Microsoft made to the Basic Authentication method. This did result in deprecating the Office 365 Get User Logon Statistics object , as Microsoft had deprecated the cmdlet for it some time ago.

Available Ciphers for Non Agent/Probe Communication with N-central

N-central updated its cipher list in the 2022.5 release and removed support for older ciphers.
The change primarily affects third-party applications running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and earlier operating
systems as the host operating system no longer meet the cipher requirements for communicating with Ncentral 2022.5 and later.
Affected on-premise applications include:
n Report Manager
n Helpdesk Manager
n ConnectWise (on Premise)
n Custom PSA Solutions
n SQL Servers configured using Data Export and LDAP or Active Directory (those running an ECDSA
certificate may function normally)
The cipher change does not generally affect third-party applications running on Windows 2016 and later where
the host operating system supports the below cyphers.
For further information, please refer to the article: N-central is unable to communicate with third-party

  1.  TLS_AKE_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  2.  TLS_AKE_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS 1.2:
  1.  TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
