Hi Ivo,
IHAC with the same configuration combination, i.e. EAP.7.2.4 and PAM.7.4.1. Can I state to the customer this combination is supported?
Hi Efstathios,
yes this configuration combination is supported. Generally the latest version of EAP 7.2.x is supported. The micro versions include security fixes so it's always ok to update.
