This week we have a bit of a surprise. Rick Edgecombe is on sabbatical now and has been for over a month, this said, this work and impact continue to be felt and today is no exception. Rick is responsible for Meshcentral’s remote video support feature on Android and ChromeOS. To date, we had this feature on only two operating systems: Android and ChromeOS. This is no longer the case, we are now announcing Meshcentral remote video support for Windows, Linux and OSX! This means that you can use Meshcentral for remote video support on pretty much any major operating system.
Now for the details: To make this work, you need to Install both the Mesh Agent and Mesh Communicator on your computer. Mesh Communicator is our NodeWebkit application for user-to-user messaging and device management. If you have Mesh Communicator running on your computer, even if it’s not logged in, the Mesh Agent v1.90 will detect its presence and make the video option show up on the server side. Your browser, Meshcentral, the Mesh agent and Mesh Communicator will coordinate to launch a WebRTC one-way video and two way audio session. More improvements and fixes are going to be made, but the team is very excited with the new possibilities.
This week, I would also like to put the spotlight on Bill York who has been an outstanding help in testing Meshcentral with a focus on management for the enterprise. In the past six months, Bill has setup his own public Meshcentral instance and helped us debug various issues. He is one of the very few to have purchased a paid Intel AMT activation certificate and loaded it within his own Meshcentral server to activate Intel AMT to admin mode directly. He also has a wide range of Intel® vPro, Android and IoT devices on his network. There is still much work to be done to have Meshcentral be enterprise ready, but thanks to Bill’s enthusiasm, we get there faster.
Lastly, SSL/TLS security has made the news again in the last few days. I want to note that we keep on top of this. Meshcentral.com is getting a full “A” score at ssllabs.com, the SSL/TLS security audit site. We made sure to patch and configure the server properly for best security including disabling SSL3/RC4 and enabling perfect forward secrecy.
Questions and feedback appreciated,
