TLS 1.3 Support in MWG.

[matt_riddler]

Can anybody advise when the Mcafee Web Gateways will support TLS 1.3 . We are running 7.8.2. which only supports upto TLS 1.2 . However looking at the 8.1 documentation , it appears this also does not include TLS 1.3 Support. Any body know the roadmap for this ?

Hi Matt,

Hope you are doing well.

It is in the roadmap  and probably the support for TLS 1.3   will be available in MWG version 8.2.0.

Hi Alok,

but that is just Controlled release not Main release? What if client is on Main release 7.8.x.x and wont pass to Controlled release?

Hello,

I think the reason why they added this only to >=8.2.x is, that this is a major change which was done somewhere between Sep and Nov 2019 where 8.2.x had its release and the plan to get this switched to main branch was already existing (normally, the switch from controlled to main release happens around October).

Nevertheless, this time it is somehow delayed. But once this is done, 8.2.x will be the main and 9.x the new controlled. You customer can then upgrade to 8.2.x.
