Prose
The Horizon Connection Server must time out administrative sessions after 15 minutes or less.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>If communications sessions remain open for extended periods of time even when unused, there is the potential for an adversary to hijack the session and use it to gain access to the system. Horizon 7 Console sessions can and must be limited in the amount of idle time that will be allowed before automatic logoff. By default, 30 minutes of idle time is allowed but this must be changed to 15 minutes or less for DoD systems. This configuration must be verified and maintained over time.
