Azure Sphere devices can now connect to a network through a proxy server. You can configure a proxy with applibs commands or with the CLI. For more information, see Connect Azure Sphere through a proxy server.
For more information on the available CLI commands, see network proxy.
The Azure Sphere OS now includes wolfSSL 4.8.1. This update brings the latest security fixes and performance enhancements from wolfSSL. In addition, a new ABI is exposed through the OS to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks in some TLS configurations. When using wolfSSL in your application (as shown in the wolfSSL sample), we recommend using wolfSSL_CTX_set_verify to validate the host whenever applicable.
See more information about using wolfSSL_CTX_set_verify on the wolfSSL website.
We have updated the guidance on how to configure Azure IoT Hub and DPS with Azure Sphere tenant certificates to include a simplified process that does not require a proof-of-possession verification step. For more information, see Set up an Azure IoT Hub for Azure Sphere and Set up an Azure IoT Hub for Azure Sphere with the Device Provisioning Service.
The azsphere tenant update Azure Sphere CLI command enables you to rename an existing tenant. For more information, see the tenant command reference topic.
The azsphere device wifi commands now support the --output (--out or -o) parameter to specify the format of the CLI output. For more information, see Supported output formats.
We have provided updated software and hardware guidance for scenarios where Wi-Fi is either temporarily or permanently not required, showing how to lower power consumption and simplify hardware designs in such scenarios. See Wi-Fi connections and MT3620 hardware notes for details.
