Host Emulator Support 64-bit mode MSCAPI connection

RDz should support Host Emulator MSCAPI connection in 64-bit mode. MSCAPI can only connect in 32-bit mode now.

    Hi, can I know starting from which RDZ client version would support MSCAPI connection in 64-bit mode? Because we still fail to connect in 64-bit mode in RDz 9.1.1 client version.

    Hello, Denis-
    RDz does support MSCAPI connections now with the 64-bit version of RDz. That was resolved at the beginning of this year, I believe.

    Are you asking about the TLSv1.2 and FIPS support for MSCAPI instead?
    Thank you, Lydia
