  • libpng 1.6.34
  • libarchive 3.3.2
  • zlib 1.2.11

• Added error logging when Lookup file row count exceeds more than supported 357913908 rows.

Known issue

• Data Workbench Workstation version 6.73 does not connect to Data Workbench Servers versions 6.61 and older. The reason is, older server versions use a weak form of ciphers not supported in version 6.73. To enable support for older versions

  1. Override default SSL Ciphers list on the server with a strong cipher list supported by OpenSSL version 1.0.1h. To override, add key ‘SSL Ciphers’ in the ‘Communications.cfg’ files available in ‘Components’ and ‘Components for Processing Servers’ directories. For example: SSL Ciphers = string: !aNULL:AESGCM

     NOTE

     Ensure that the key is placed at the same level as the SSL Port. For details refer to Communications Configuration Settings

  2. Place the latest trust_ca_cert.pem file on the server 6.61 and older servers. This setting is applicable to all Workstation 6.7x versions.
