Release Updates Week 47: 

Workspace ONE Tunnel for Android 23.09 (staged)

  • Phishing and Content Protection is enforced for all applications on the device (or container) independent of the Full-Device or Per-App Tunnel-VPN mode.
  • Technical Preview: Block Private DNS
    • We have noticed that with recent Android OS updates, the Private DNS setting on the device is set to 'Automatic' by default. This setting encrypts all DNS requests from the device.
    • This includes DNS requests from applications and to destinations that are configured for Tunnel.
    • As a result, the Tunnel client is unable to process these DNS requests and the user is unable to access internal resources.
    • To ensure users can access internal resources and private DNS continues to function for non-Tunnel workflows, we are introducing the ability to block Private DNS requests for requests that are managed by Tunnel.
    • This is implemented via the following KVP:
      • KVP: BlockPrivateDNS | Type: Boolean | Default Value: False
      • Set this value to True to block all Private DNS requests. This is implemented by blocking all TLS DNS requests over port 853.
    • It is expected that the OS will default back to DNS over UDP over port 53.

KB Highlights & Announcements Week 47: 

Unable to edit roles for Cloud Services Administrators in Workspace ONE UEM 23.06 (95700)

  • In Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) 23.06 environments, when an administrator navigates to Accounts > Administrators > List view, the option to modify an admin account where the Source is ‘Cloud Service’ is disabled. Roles will not be editable for administrators added from ‘Cloud Service’ Source.  
  • Currently, administrators can only assign Basic (Read-Only) or Admin (Console Administrator) level roles within VMware Cloud Services (VCS) for Cloud Administrators at Identity & Access management > Active Users. VCS does not currently support other UEM system roles or custom roles.

Announcement: End of Availability (EOA) for VMware Secure Access (95651)

  • VMware is streamlining and simplifying its product offering in order to deliver more value to its customers.  As part of this, VMware is announcing End of Availability (EOA) for VMware Secure Access starting January 31st, 2024. 
  • For customers who are currently looking at Secure Access as a remote access solution, VMware can provide two options: 
    1. VMware SD-Access (formerly branded as VMware SD-WAN Client) is a replacement solution for customers who are looking for a remote access solution for remote workers that is based on the principles of ZTNA. 
    2. VMware Workspace ONE Tunnel is part of the Workspace ONE portfolio for endpoint security and zero trust access. 

 

Pull Relay Servers are losing connection to UEM Console following relay servers reboot (95704)

  • In UEM version 22.3.0.54 or later if the Pull Relay Server is rebooted it is not able to connect back to the UEM console. The Status indicator for the Relay server in the console would show a warning symbol in this case of a lost connection. 
  • There was a security patch for Pull Relay servers pushed to UEM version 22.3.0.54 or later. This security patch led to an issue with Pull Relay Servers where an IP or Mac address only was used as the discovery text. This would lead to the Pull Relay server losing connection to the UEM console when restarted.

 

Announcing End of General Support for the 'Network Access Control (NAC)' setting in the Workspace ONE SDK (95722)

  • The Workspace ONE SDK will no longer offer support for the ability to restrict network access. Specifically the Network Access Control (NAC) setting in the SDK profile will no longer be supported. This change will be reflected in the releases of the Workspace ONE SDK for iOS and Android that will happen after May 1st 2024.
  • This NAC setting may remain available in the Workspace ONE UEM Console UI even after the EOGS date, however it will be removed in a future version of Workspace ONE UEM.
