• Users affected:

  Version affected: All

  Problem description:
  Incorrect checking in the name resolution part of some of the
  components results in hostnames starting with a numerical digit
  to be incorrectly interpreted as an already-resolved IP address.
  This will cause the connection to fail and hence the component
  (broker, target or CLI) will be unable to communicate with the
  given host.
  
  Problem summary:
  The broker and target components of IBM Endpoint Manager for
  Remote Control will fail to communicate with a server or broker
  that has a hostname that starts with a numerical digit.
  
  This will present itself in the target unsuccessfully
  registering with a server and users unable to create both
  managed and broker sessions.
