Description

The ENCRYPT_CONTROL_SESSION option specifies whether or not the control session must be encrypted.

Application data and commands, including user identifiers and passwords, are transmitted over the network on the control session. Stdio data are transmitted over the stdio sessions. The default protocol SSL/TLS always uses encryption for the control session.

A UCMD Manager can disable SSL/TLS by reverting to the Universal Products (UNVv2) protocol without encryption and data integrity checks.
