VMware Horizon 6 RDS- hosted apps and imprivata failover with new firmware

PCoIP Firmware 4.8.0 firmware for Tera2 zero clients has just been released. Some small goodies in there but I think the main one is for RDS. Zero clients now support VMware Horizon 6 application remoting based on Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS). To configure zero clients to access VMware Horizon streamed applications, select the new Enable RDS Application Access option on the View Connection Server > Session page, under Advanced Options.

The new firmware also allows a View Connection Server address for Imprivata OneSign environments allows administrators to configure a Direct to View link on zero clients configured for View Connection Server + Imprivata OneSign mode. When users click the link, the current OneSign connection or authentication flow is cancelled and a Horizon View authentication flow starts instead. This feature lets OneSign zero client users access their View desktops when the OneSign infrastructure is unavailable.
