Default Global Policies for Security Protocols and Cipher Suites

Global acceptance and proposal policies activate certain security protocols and cipher suites by default.

Security-related settings are provided in Horizon LDAP under the object path cn=common,ou=global,ou=properties,dc=vdi,dc=vmware,dc=int.
