Hello!
I was working on an issue where one of my users was unable to log into Centricity on her workstation. Upon login, she gets the error listed below.
When I browse directly to https://[app server hostname]:9443, nothing appears. However if on the same workstation I browse to it via Chrome, I get to a jboss page (of course after the certificate warning due to it being self-signed).
After some investigation, it appears to have been caused by Windows KB3172605, which is a Rollup that includes some TLS 1.2 and SHA-1 improvements. Luckily, this was installed on only this particular workstation, however I've confirmed that if installed on another that it breaks the Centricity client.
Has anyone else experience this issue with this update? Is there a workaround or fix other than removing the update. The only reason I mention this is that this particular KB update apparently fixes an issue with Windows 7 workstations where Windows Update doesn't run correctly, or takes a whole day to search for updates.
