Enable TLS communication

Please tell me how to enable TLS communication on a PC equipped with AMT Ver8.0.
(I couldn't find instructions on how to enable TLS communication in the PC manual.)
From a web search, I discovered that it might be possible to achieve this using a tool called MeshCommander, but I was unable to download the tool.
The website for MeshCommander is https://www.meshcommander.com/meshcommander.
By the way, I haven't tried it with other AMT versions either.

Hello, watamaru2000,


I hope this post finds you well.


Intel AMT 12 started supporting TLS version 1.2 and TLS version 1.0 was removed; TLS comes enabled by default.  A new client type has been created for TLS sessions, which uses a cipher suite with a block size of 256.  The latest remote management tool called Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) requires endpoints with AMT version 11.8.79 or higher (the latest version is 16). https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19449/intel-endpoint-management-assistant-intel-ema.html


AMT version 8 supports TLS1.1 and it is enabled by default.


Mesh Commander is a third-party open-source tool. I noted the tool was removed; it is not possible to download.


Intel still has Intel® Manageability Commander; this tool will allow remote accessing; however, the latest systems with AMT versions 15, 16, and higher are not compatible.  Please read the software description and guides included in the zip file.
