For example, Media Router does not have sufficient privileges to detect and show the hardening status, user evaluation required.
Workaround: In Config Tool, on the Resources page of each role that cannot determine the encryption status, enable the Encrypt connections option.
All 1962377 5.8 GA Dashboards: In the Security score widget, the Do not connect to SQL Server with an account that has administrative privileges hardening entry does not take multiple Directory roles and database failover into account.

ALPR 2151096 5.8 GA If a SharpV is added to the ALPR Manager using the LPM protocol and is then reconfigured to use the Security Center (legacy) extension, a duplicate offline SharpV is added to the ALPR Manager so that associated plate reads can be retrieved.
ALPR 2135795 5.8 GA When the server hosting the ALPR Manager role is behind a NAT, you can configure the public address of the NAT in Server Admin. However, there is no way to configure the port of the NAT associated to the LPM protocol port of the ALPR Manager.
Workaround: Configure the port of the LPM protocol on the Properties page of ALPR Manager role such that it is the same as the port of the NAT. For example, if the port available on the NAT is 9876, then you must configure the LPM protocol port on the role to also be listening to 9876, and then configure your NAT accordingly.

Workaround: If you upgrade to Security Center 5.8 GA, you must upgrade Sipelia™ to version 2.8 SR1 to use its map features, such as making and answering calls from maps.
Synergis™ IX 1959846 5.8 GA When using Synergis™ IX, you can assign an intrusion area's secured area to any access control area. This leads to being able to assign an entering or exiting intrusion area on a door that is not controlled by ICT hardware.
