The Horizon Connection Server must not allow unauthenticated access.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>When the Horizon native smart card capability is not set to "Required", the option for "Unauthenticated Access" is enabled. This would be true in the case of an external IdP providing authentication via SAML. The "Unauthenticated Access" option allows users to access published applications from a Horizon Client without requiring AD credentials. This is typically implemented as a convenience when serving up an application that has its own security and user management. This configuration is not acceptable in the DoD and must be disabled.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
