The Horizon Connection Server must reauthenticate users after a network interruption.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Given the remote access nature of Horizon Connection Server, the client must be ensured to be under positive control as much as is possible from the server side. As such, whenever a network interruption causes a client disconnect, that session must be reauthenticated upon reconnection. To allow a session resumption would be convenient but would allow for the possibility of the endpoint being taken out of the control of the intended user and reconnected to a different network, in control of a bad actor who could then resume the disconnected session.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
