Configuring Security Protocols and Cipher Suites for Specific Client Types

Each type of client has its own method for configuring protocols and cipher suites.

In a VMware Horizon 8 environment, change the security protocols in Horizon Client only if your Connection Server instance does not support the current settings. If you configure a security protocol for Horizon Client that is not enabled on the Connection Server instance to which the client connects, a TLS error occurs and the connection fails.

To change the protocols and ciphers from their default values, use the client-specific mechanism:

• On Windows clients, you can use either a group policy setting or a Windows Registry setting.
• On Linux clients, you can use either configuration file properties or command-line options.
• On Mac clients, you can use a preference setting in Horizon Client.
• On iOS and Android clients, you can use the advanced SSL options setting in Horizon Client.
