Configure Advanced TLS/SSL Options
You can select the security protocols and cryptographic algorithms that are used to encrypt communications
between Horizon Client and Horizon servers and between Horizon Client and the agent in the remote
desktop.
By default, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2 are enabled. SSL v2.0 and 3.0 are not supported. The default
cipher control string is "!aNULL:kECDH+AESGCM:ECDH+AESGCM:RSA+AESGCM:kECDH+AES:ECDH
+AES:RSA+AES".
If you congure a security protocol for Horizon Client that is not enabled on the Horizon server to which the
client connects, a TLS/SSL error occurs and the connection fails.
For information about conguring the security protocols that are accepted by Connection Server instances,
see the View Security document.
