The Horizon Client must require TLS connections.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>In older versions of Horizon, before 5.0, remote desktop connections could be established without TLS encryption. In order to protect data-in-transit when potentially connecting to very old Horizon servers, TLS tunnels must be mandated. The default configuration attempts TLS but will fall back to no encryption if it is not supported. This must be corrected and maintained over time.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
