Action required in UDS: configure LDAPS in Active Directory

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.

VDI with UDS Enterprise in the XCP-ng forum

VDI with UDS Enterprise in the XCP-ng forum

As you know, the UDS Enterprise and XCP-ng developer companies have been working together for some time to offer customers a highly competitive 100% Open Source VDI solution both technically and economically.

From the beginning, the XCP-ng community has shown great interest in the connection broker for desktop and application virtualization. The UDS Enterprise team receives daily requests to download the software, inquiries about its operation and about the integration with the hypervisor developed by Vates. Therefore, a few months ago we decided to open a specific thread in the XCP-ng forum on the compatibility of both solutions.

The VDI broker UDS Enterprise will support Hyper-V clusters

We begin the year by unveiling some of the new features that will be incorporated to the next version of our connection broker for desktop and application virtualization. We confirm that UDS Enterprise 3.0 will add support for Hyper-V in cluster.

A few months ago we announced the compatibility of our VDI broker with the latest version of the Microsoft hypervisor in Standalone mode. Our development team has continued working to improve this integration and provide also support for this cluster technology.
