Symptoms

The listed Horizon versions include new security features for user authentication that are disabled by default.

Resolution

To enable the new security features, modify the AD LDS configuration. For details of the new settings and advice on balancing usability and security, see VMware Horizon 7 version 7.8 Security document.

Accept logon as current user

For the Logon as current user feature to work, the Connection Server's Server Principal Name (Windows identity) must be provided to connecting clients prior to user authentication. All versions of Horizon prior to Horizon 7 version 7.8 provide this information by default.

Connect to the Horizon AD LDS database. For more information on connecting to the AD LDS database with ADSI Edit, see Connecting to the View ADAM Database (2012377).

Find the Connection Server CN to change under OU=Properties > OU=Server.

Right-click the Connection Server CN and click Properties.

Locate the attribute pae-SendBrokerServicePrincipal and then change its value to 0.

Send domain list

The list of available user domains is provided to connecting clients prior to user authentication by all versions of Horizon prior to Horizon 7 version 7.8.

Connect to the Horizon AD LDS database. For more information on connecting to the AD LDS database with ADSI Edit, see Connecting to the View ADAM Database (2012377).

Find the Common CN under OU=Properties > OU=Global.

Right-click the Common CN and click Properties.

Locate the attribute pae-SendDomainList and then change its value to 0.

Other settings

Note: Existing View Administrator settings Hide domain list in client user interface and Hide server information in client user interface affect the client's user interface only, they do not change what information the server provides to the client.

Workaround

Legacy Details:

Persistent Disks & Linked Clones have been deprecated on the latest editions of Horizon since 2020.

A move to a new profile technology is not contingent on a move to Horizon 8 and can be initiated in advance of upgrade to Horizon 8 as a separate task.

Please see Ensuring a successful migration from Horizon 7 to Horizon 8 (89840) for additional advice.

We recommend you migrate from Horizon 7 to Horizon 8 as soon as possible. Horizon 8 offers numerous improvements in performance, scale, and experience for both Administrators and end users.
