So you thought you and your security team would finally be best friends, as you’ve just deployed VMware’s Secure Email Gateway (SEGv2) to finally make Exchange ActiveSync a safer place.Only to find out that same security team ran an SSL Labs test which came back with a B. There goes…
Since the release of Horizon version 2006 it’s possible to upgrade your Connection Servers in parallel. Instead of upgrading them one by one, you can now upgrade all Connection Servers (up to a maximum of three pods) simultaneously. Which can save you a huge amount of (down)time! In this blog…
As I recently rebuilt some components in my lab I had to set up True SSO again as well. Seeing as I prefer being lazy over being tired I decided it was a good moment to give the True SSO Configuration Utility fling a spin.The fling won’t set up everything…
