EVITA VDI project with UDS Enterprise: Architecture
A few days ago we talked about the Virtual Desktop for Special Education (EVITA) developed by the University of Murcia (UMU) to provide students with disabilities or learning difficulties with more efficient accessibility to computer tools that make learning much easier for them. In this article we will delve into the architecture of the project, where our UDS Enterprise VDI broker is a key piece: it is the software that manages and deploys virtual desktops, facilitating the connection between the different components of the VDI platform. Allows users to access programs and applications through the specific channel defined by the administrator.
UMU relies on UDS Enterprise for their VDI for Special Education
The University of Murcia presented during Docencia-Net session at the RedIRIS Working Groups held at the end of 2019 an interesting and innovative project that provides access to computer tools that make learning much easier for students with disabilities or learning difficulties. The Virtual Desktop for Special Education (EVITA in its Spanish acronym) provides specific instruments for these types of students, such as text readers or dictation software. The VDI connection broker UDS Enterprise is a key element that make the optimal operation possible.
Action required in UDS: configure LDAPS in Active Directory
Microsoft is going to release a security patch through Windows Update next March which will disable certain authentication mechanisms via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) in Active Directory (AD), including the one used by UDS Enterprise.
As of that date, UDS Enterprise will only work with authentication via LDAPS (LDAP over SSL). Therefore, all UDS Enterprise administrators using the Microsoft AD authenticator in their VDI and vApp deployments must enable “Secure LDAP” (LDAPS) on their Active Directory server or servers.
