Lync Phone Edition Update – December 2015

This update takes Phone Edition to 4.0.7577.4487 / 4488 & adds SHA-2 support.

There doesn’t seem to be an over-arching KB that goes into any more detail (that I can find), just David Paulino’s post on the UC Lobby page on TechNet:

This update for Microsoft Lync Phone Edition devices adds support for the SHA-2 suite of digest hash and signing algorithms for connections from clients. The SHA-2 protocol uses digest lengths of 224, 256, 384, or 512 bits. After you apply this update, Lync Phone Edition devices can be connected to a Microsoft Lync server that contains a certificate that is issued from the same Certification Authority (CA).

  1. “Lync Phone Edition devices can be connected to a Microsoft Lync server that contains a certificate that is issued from the same Certification Authority (CA).”

    Same (CA) to what? This sentence is meaningless in this form. I am not criticizing you, but the writer of the KB article. Its useless to send him feedback, they never care to fix grammatically , or god forbid factually incorrect articles. Thatswhy I pop up the question here, maybe you have an idea what the author wanted to say with this vague remark.
