New Feature
eDiscovery: New eDiscovery Download Client v2.0.1 for GovCloud
The new version includes a more enhanced way of registering clients called token-based registration. This method uses tokens, which are unique, randomly generated strings of characters, to authenticate clients and verify that the requests are coming from a legitimate eDiscovery Download Client.
You can now download and install the latest v2.0.1 eDiscovery Download Client version for Windows and macOS from the Downloads page.
Here is a glimpse
Customer action required:
New client registrations will now have to provide tokens as input instead of client ID and secret ID
Existing clients, if in a disconnected state, will now require tokens as inputs to re-register
It is recommended that you whitelist the following global URL for the public cloud to establish a connection between the client and server:
https://govglobalapis.druva.com
