Notes:
01) Due to SSL security fixes, When applying patch 4.0.2.7 or later to IDM 4.0.2 both engine and remote loader need to receive the patch, otherwise they will not connect via SSL.
02) Due to SSL security fixes, When applying patch 4.5.0.1 or later to IDM 4.5.0 both engine and remote loader need to receive the patch, otherwise they will not connect via SSL.
