A user asked about FIPS compliance with ControlUp, and the response was that ControlUp is likely closer to FIPS compliant but not certified. This is due to the way the registry key in Windows works, requiring only certified modules. ControlUp's security can be seen on https://www.controlup.com/controlling-your-security/, with different components in the process of certifying for FIPS 140-2. IOP being a Linux appliance, and COP being a webservice, the explanation does not directly apply to them.

Why are mouse clicks within RDP sessions in ControlUp 8.8 passed through to background apps?
Users have reported an issue when using RDP/ControlUpconsole.exe, where clicking within an RDP session causes random background apps to pop to the foreground. It was suggested this was a known issue unrelated to ControlUp/RDM/Citrix, linked to the RDP stack, and ControlUp are unable to do anything about it.
