OVD Release Notes 3.3.2 Summary

About Inuvika OVD Enterprise 3.3.2

Inuvika OVD Enterprise 3.3.2 is a maintenance release that includes a number of fixes for OVD 3.3.

What's new in 3.3.2

Esta versión incluye una variedad de mejoras y características que hacen que nuestro software sea más seguro, más fácil de usar y más personalizable con un mayor control sobre la apariencia del entorno OVD. Esperamos que nuestros clientes y sus usuarios finales disfruten de estas nuevas características y esperamos seguir mejorando nuestro software en el futuro.

Authentication Throttling

To enhance security and protect against brute force attacks, we added a new feature to limit the number of authentication attempts per user within a specified time frame. Additional attempts beyond this limit will be temporarily blocked. This feature is disabled by default and seamlessly integrated into the existing authentication workflow with minimal impact on user experience. Administrators can also be informed when a user has been locked out via an email notification.

Security Improvements

OVD is now compliant with FIPS 140-2 alongside already using TLS 1.3 encryption mechanisms. This helps customers in the government space to easily deploy OVD without difficulty in secure environments.

Support for Third-Party Authenticators

Our built in Two-Factor Authentication now supports applications such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy and many more to generate the one-time pin to logon to Inuvika OVD. The Inuvika Authenticator app is still supported in addition.

USB Redirection for macOS

We now support redirection of generic USB devices for users on macOS via our premium device redirection functionality when using the Enterprise Desktop Client.

Tenant Admin Maintenance Mode

For customers using our Multitenant mode, we have enabled the ability for tenant administrators to take servers inside their tenant in and out of maintenance mode.

Improvements to taskbar icons and grouping for Application Mode

There have been major improvements to the thumbnails used for applications stored in the taskbar when using Application Mode via the Enterprise Desktop Client. We have also added grouping to group multiple instances of the same application under one icon much like Windows does already.

This version includes all the previous changes and improvements for 3.3

Revisión de la Marca Personalizada

We have added the ability for OVD Administrators to customize the session wallpaper and brand the OVD client applications with their company logo.

With this feature, Administrators can now define a custom wallpaper that appears when users log in to their session. This can be an image of their choosing, such as a company logo, a promotional graphic, or any other image that they would like to use.

In addition to the wallpaper, Administrators can also add their company logo, custom color and title to replace all Inuvika visuals. This helps to create a more cohesive user experience and reinforces the brand identity of the company.

The process of setting up the wallpaper and branding is simple and straightforward. Administrators can access the settings from the Administration Console and upload the desired images, choose a color, title, and allow dark mode where supported.

Servidores de aplicaciones Windows 10/11

OVD Enterprise 3.3 introduce la posibilidad de utilizar estaciones de trabajo Windows 10/11 como servidor de aplicaciones. Esta nueva característica amplía las opciones de despliegue para nuestros clientes y proporciona más flexibilidad en la configuración de sus entornos OVD con una solución similar a VDI cuando sea necesario.

Control de versiones de clientes de escritorio y móviles

We have implemented a feature that prevents the session to start when the Enterprise Desktop Client or Enterprise Mobile Client version is lower than the authorized version setting. This feature helps ensure that the system is secure and up-to-date.

Modo de mantenimiento de emergencia para servidores de aplicaciones

Otra gran adición es la capacidad que permite a los administradores desconectar (cerrar sesión) todas las sesiones en ejecución en un servidor particular en modo de mantenimiento. Esta función es útil para realizar tareas de mantenimiento de emergencia. Los usuarios serán redirigidos a otro servidor de aplicaciones (si está disponible) cuando vuelvan a iniciar sesión.

Servidor de aplicaciones Linux compatible con varios monitores

También hemos añadido compatibilidad con multimonitor en servidores de aplicaciones Linux, lo que facilita a los usuarios de Linux el trabajo con varias pantallas.

RHEL 8 ya es compatible

We now support RHEL 8. RHEL 7 is deprecated and not supported in OVD 3.3.2.

Los servidores de aplicaciones Linux ya pueden unirse a un dominio

OVD ahora soporta la capacidad de utilizar servidores de aplicaciones Linux que se han unido a un dominio de Active Directory. Esto permite que los usuarios puedan autenticarse e iniciar sesión con un usuario de dominio "real" tanto en servidores de aplicaciones Windows como Linux al mismo tiempo en "Modo de Directorio Activo Completo".

El Acceso Web se presenta ahora dentro de la Consola de Administración

El rol de Acceso Web ahora puede ser administrado directamente desde el Admin UI. Esto permitirá a los administradores supervisar directamente el servidor y comprobar el estado del servicio.

Mejoras en las impresoras redirigidas

We have made some enhancements to the OVD Virtual Printer which is used to automatically redirect local and network printers from the client machine. Now, single-sided printing is set as the default mode. Additionally, duplex printing is supported on both Long and Short sides.

Barra de herramientas Enteprise Desktop Client Magic

En la versión 3.2.0 se introdujo una barra de herramientas mágica a la que se accede mediante una combinación de teclas. Esta herramienta permite a los usuarios cambiar entre los modos de entrada, alternar entre pantalla completa/modo ventana, y comprobar las estadísticas de la sesión para el consumo de audio y ancho de banda. Ahora, esta barra de herramientas está siempre visible en la parte superior de la pantalla en un menú desplegable flotante similar al menú OVD Web Access. Este cambio hace que sea mucho más cómodo para los usuarios acceder a la barra de herramientas y hacer cambios en la sesión y realizar diagnósticos.

For more details, please refer to the changelog at the bottom of the page.

Instalación One Touch

You can now use our automated "One Touch Installation" tool to simplify the installation of new OVD environments.

This makes it even easier to bring OVD Enterprise online, and provides a large number of optimisations not possible with a manual installation.

Further information can be found on https://docs.inuvika.com/one-touch_installation.

Please note that the ability to upgrade OVD via this tool is not yet supported, but will be added in a future release.

Cambios en el lanzador de aplicaciones

There has been a change to the design of the application launcher window inside the Enterprise Desktop Client. This has now been reworked into a streamlined menu with an Inuvika icon accessible from the Taskbar on Windows and Linux, and the Top Menu Bar on MacOS.

For users who do not use our “Auto-Publish shortcuts” option in Application Mode via the Enterprise Desktop Client, this new launcher is now the default way to access applications published from OVD.

In addition, Application Mode on MacOS no longer publishes shortcuts to the Desktop and Launchpad due to changes Apple made in the underlying operating system preventing this integration at present.

Aviso de fin de la ayuda

Starting with our upcoming releases, we will be phasing out support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver). This version no admite CentOS 7.x, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7. These platforms have either already reached or are imminently approaching their respective End of Life dates.

Please note that OVD 3.3.2 will be the final version to offer support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver). We recommend transitioning to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 8 as soon as possible to benefit from future OVD versions.
