The Horizon Connection Server must disconnect applications after two hours of idle time.
Medium Severity
Horizon View is intended to provide remote desktops and applications during for more or less continuous use. If an application is open and goes used for more than two hours, that application must be closed to eliminate the risk of that idle application being usurped. For desktops, sessions will not be disconnected after two hours but the credentials stored with Horizon will be invalidated. Subsequent desktop connection attempts will require reauthentication.
