Release Notes

Release Highlights


Note From the Team

Just before the summer heat kicks off in Arizona, we've wrapped up adding support for configuring 8021x in AMT using RPC-Go. With this milestone, we're nearing the completion of all the major features planned in RPC-Go for Enterprise support MVP release. That being said, we've also been looking at how to address the gap created by MeshCommander’s end of support for our Enterprise customers. The team has been hard at work architecting and developing an alternative for a 1:1 Console application for enterprise-style networks.

Development is still pretty early, but the team is progressing steadily. You can follow the progress in our Console GitHub Repo. Stay tuned for updates soon!

Best Wishes,

The Open AMT Cloud Toolkit Team

What's New?

Feature: RPC-Go Local Wired 802.1x Configuration

The configure wired command now supports configuration of AMT for wired 802.1x environments. By providing the Enterprise Assistant (EA) credentials, RPC-Go can communicate securely with EA and perform the configuration. Configuration info can be passed various ways, such as directly via the command line, read from a config file, or passed as a JSON string.

See the rpc configure wired documentation for additional details and examples.

rpc configure wired -config config.yaml
config.yaml with 802.1x
password: 'AMTPassword' # alternatively, you can provide the AMT password of the device in  the command line
wiredConfig:
  dhcp: true
  ipsync: true
  ieee8021xProfileName: 'exampleIeee8021xEAP-TLS'
enterpriseAssistant:
  eaAddress: 'http://<YOUR-IPADDRESS-OR-FQDN>:8000'
  eaUsername: 'eaUser'
  eaPassword: 'eaPass'
ieee8021xConfigs:
  - profileName: 'exampleIeee8021xEAP-TLS'
    authenticationProtocol: 0


Feature: RPC-Go Local Wireless 802.1x Configuration

Previously, we only allowed users to directly pass in the certificates and secrets themselves on the command line. Now, just like for wired configurations, you can use Enterprise Assistant to communicate to the Microsoft CA and issue certificates to AMT. Configuration info can be passed various ways, such as directly via the command line, read from a config file, or passed as a JSON string.

See the rpc configure wireless command documentation for additional details and examples.

rpc configure wireless -config config.yaml
config.yaml with 802.1x
password: 'AMTPassword' # alternatively, you can provide the AMT password of the device in  the command line
enterpriseAssistant:
  eaAddress: 'http://<YOUR-IPADDRESS-OR-FQDN>:8000'
  eaUsername: 'eaUser'
  eaPassword: 'eaPass'
wifiConfigs:
  - profileName: 'exampleWifi8021x' # friendly name (ex. Profile name)
    ssid: 'ssid'
    priority: 1
    authenticationMethod: 7
    encryptionMethod: 4
    ieee8021xProfileName: 'exampleIeee8021xEAP-TLS'
ieee8021xConfigs:
  - profileName: 'exampleIeee8021xEAP-TLS'
    authenticationProtocol: 0 #8021x profile (ex. EAP-TLS(0))


Feature: RPC-Go Configure TLS using a Config File

Configuring TLS now supports using a config .yaml/.json file. Now, you can provide the details and configure TLS at the same time as activation and network configuration all within the same config file.

See the rpc configure tls command documentation for additional details and examples.

rpc configure tls -config config.yaml
config.yaml
password: 'AMTPassword' # alternatively, you can provide the AMT password of the device in  the command line
tlsConfig:
  mode: 'Server'
enterpriseAssistant:
  eaAddress: 'http://<YOUR-IPADDRESS-OR-FQDN>:8000'
  eaUsername: 'eaUser'
  eaPassword: 'eaPass'
