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

Cette version comprend une série d'améliorations et de fonctionnalités qui rendent notre logiciel plus sûr, plus facile à utiliser et plus personnalisable, avec un meilleur contrôle de l'aspect et de la convivialité de l'environnement OVD. Nous espérons que nos clients et leurs utilisateurs finaux apprécieront ces nouvelles fonctionnalités et nous nous réjouissons de continuer à améliorer notre logiciel à l'avenir.

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.

Amélioration de la sécurité

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

Refonte de l'image de marque

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.

Serveurs d'application Windows 10/11

OVD Enterprise 3.3 introduit la possibilité d'utiliser les stations de travail Windows 10/11 comme serveur d'applications. Cette nouvelle fonctionnalité élargit les options de déploiement pour nos clients et offre plus de flexibilité dans la mise en place de leurs environnements OVD avec une solution de type VDI lorsque cela est nécessaire.

Contrôle de la version des clients mobiles et de bureau

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.

Mode de maintenance d'urgence pour les serveurs d'application

Un autre ajout important est la possibilité pour les administrateurs de déconnecter (déconnexion) toutes les sessions en cours sur un serveur particulier en mode maintenance. Cette fonction est utile pour effectuer des tâches de maintenance d'urgence. Les utilisateurs seront redirigés vers un autre serveur d'application (s'il est disponible) lorsqu'ils se connecteront à nouveau.

Prise en charge des moniteurs multiples par le serveur d'application Linux

Nous avons également ajouté la prise en charge du multi-moniteur sur les serveurs d'application Linux, ce qui permet aux utilisateurs de Linux de travailler plus facilement avec plusieurs écrans.

RHEL 8 est désormais pris en charge

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

Les serveurs d'application Linux peuvent désormais être reliés à un domaine

OVD permet désormais d'utiliser des serveurs d'application Linux qui ont été reliés à un domaine Active Directory. Cela permet aux utilisateurs de s'authentifier et de se connecter avec un "vrai" utilisateur de domaine sur les serveurs d'application Windows et Linux en même temps, en "mode Active Directory complet"

Web Access est désormais présenté dans la console d'administration

Le rôle Accès Web peut désormais être administré directement à partir de l'interface d'administration. Cela permettra aux administrateurs de surveiller directement le serveur et de vérifier l'état du service.

Améliorations apportées aux imprimantes redirigées

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.

Barre d'outils Magic d'Enteprise Desktop Client

Dans la version 3.2.0, une barre d'outils magique a été introduite, accessible par une combinaison de touches. Cet outil permet aux utilisateurs de passer d'un mode de saisie à l'autre, de basculer entre le mode plein écran et le mode fenêtré, et de vérifier les statistiques de la session pour l'audio et la consommation de la bande passante. Désormais, cette barre d'outils est toujours visible en haut de l'écran dans un menu déroulant flottant similaire au menu d'OVD Web Access. Ce changement rend l'accès à la barre d'outils beaucoup plus pratique pour les utilisateurs, qui peuvent ainsi effectuer des changements en cours de session et réaliser des diagnostics.

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

Installation en une seule fois

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.

Changements apportés au lanceur d'applications

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.

Avis de fin d'aide

Starting with our upcoming releases, we will be phasing out support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver). This version ne prend pas en charge 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.
