Disable legacy remoting channel

Communication between the recording servers and the management server has become more secure with the solution implemented in 2019 R2. If you upgrade from a previous XProtect VMS release, the management server still starts the legacy 3rd party technology to be able to communicate with recording servers on older releases.

When all recording servers in your system are upgraded to version 2019 R2 or later, you can configure the management server to not start the legacy remoting channel, to make your system less vulnerable, Milestone recommends that you set UseRemoting to False in the management server configuration file.
