The Horizon Client must use approved ciphers.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The Horizon Client disables the older TLS v1.0 protocol and the SSL v2 and SSL v3 protocols by default. TLS v1.1 is still enabled in the default configuration, despite known shortcomings, for the sake of backward compatibility with older servers and clients. The Horizon Connection Server STIG mandates TLS v1.2 in order to protect sensitive data-in-flight and the Client must follow suite. Note: Mandating TLS 1.2 may affect certain thin and zero clients. Test and implement carefully.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
