+== Host verification
+
+Starting from version 5.1.0, host verification is enabled by default for enhanced security. 
+This feature ensures that the server's identity is verified during TCP connections.
+
+If you encounter a scenario where host verification needs to be disabled (not recommended), you can configure the socket-support attribute in the tcp-connection-factory.
