Release Updates Week 34-24:
Renewed App Policy Association Interface in Workspace ONE Access
App access policy assignment now has a new UI and improved workflow. The new policy assignment is now independent of policy creation flow, allowing app assignment without editing a policy. New UI lists apps with additional fields, supports multi-selection of apps for assignment, shows policy assignment conflicts, and offers better search and filtering.
New Settings to Grant Omnissa Technical Support Access to Workspace ONE Access
New settings are now available to securely grant the Omnissa technical support team access to the Workspace ONE Access admin console to resolve or debug technical issues. You can now control when to allow Omnissa technical support team access to your Workspace ONE Access admin console and can determine the role and duration of the access. By default, Omnissa support team’s access to your console is turned off.
Enhanced Availability and Faster Launches for Horizon Apps
Horizon connection servers now use a single service provider metadata across all servers in a Horizon pod. This enhancement significantly reduces metadata refresh time, leading to faster app launches and improved overall availability.
This enhancement is available with Workspace ONE Access Cloud, Workspace ONE Access connector 24.07, and Horizon 8.13.
Workspace ONE Access Connector 24.07
Workspace ONE Access connector 24.07 is compatible with Workspace ONE Access Cloud, Workspace ONE Access On-premise 24.07, and Workspace ONE Access for FedRAMP.
Resolved Issues for Connector 24.07
This connector release includes the following resolved issues:
- HW-200932: Resolved an issue where Active Directory over IWA directory sync was failing with safeguard violations. A configurable option for comparing only attributes for updates during directory sync is now available.
- HW-200972: Prevent parallel sync if both People Search photo sync and directory sync are configured for the same time.
- HW-204691: Resolved an issue with directory sync exiting due to communication channel errors. A configurable parameter is available to set the number of hours after which scheduled sync starts automatically if the directory sync service exits due to unexpected communication channel errors.
Notification Deletion Now Available for Hub Services Admins
The Hub Services admin console now includes the ability for admins to delete previously sent notifications. Admins with super admin role can utilize this feature to remove notifications that were sent in error, contained incorrect information, or were distributed with ill intent. This deletion functionality ensures that admins can quickly and effectively retract messages that should no longer be visible to end-users, thereby maintaining the accuracy and integrity of communication within the platform.
Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub App Now Visible in the Hub Services App Catalog
The Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub app, when assigned through Workspace ONE UEM, will now be displayed in the Hub Services app catalog. Previously, the Intelligent Hub app did not appear in the catalog, limiting visibility to end-users. With this update, users can manually trigger updates to the Hub app, which is especially useful if there are issues with auto-pushed updates.
If admins prefer to revert to the previous behavior where the Hub app is hidden from end-users, they can utilize the Exclude Apps functionality to remove it from view. For more details on that, refer to the documentation topic Selectively Exclude Apps From Users in Intelligent Hub Catalog<https://docs.omnissa.
Your are notified of these changes through the admin notification bar in the VMware Access console which is displayed when the customer admin logs in.

- Now that it is easier to find, you have a chance to review the Potential Impact details before proceeding to build the rest of your workflow.
- In addition, we made the Potential Impact panel wider to fit more columns, which reduces the need to horizontally scroll.
- We’ve changed the Potential Impact behavior in workflows.
- Upon saving a workflow with Trigger Settings set as Automatic with a one-time manual run, Schedule, or Manual, the system evaluates the Potential Impact.
- If it detects an excessive target count, it displays a warning message to alert you to revisit the filter because, the filter might be configured incorrectly.
- You have the option to accept the warning and proceed if you determine the workflow is configured to operate as desired.
Experience Management 2407 for Horizon
- New Features
- We’ve added support for Horizon multi-session desktops and applications for App Performance, Application Crash, Application Hang, and Application Usage(Start/Exit/Foreground) telemetry.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES COMING SOON
KB Highlights & Announcements Week 34-24:
F5 and Omnissa Partner Again on Digital Workspaces
- F5's newest strategic partner is actually an old friend. F5 and Omnissa, the elegant new name for VMware’s end-user computing (EUC) business, are resuming a successful past relationship to bring customers more scalable and secure virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and digital workspace solutions.
- Following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, investment firm KKR recognized the potential in VMware’s esteemed EUC unit and invested in its bright future, resulting in the creation of Omnissa as a private entity. This move has paved the way for F5 and Omnissa to rekindle their collaboration, leveraging F5’s industry-leadingapplication delivery services to enhance Omnissa’s VDI and digital workspace offerings with superior network traffic optimization and security.
AGGL-17234 - Lookup values in Android Application Configuration not delivered correctly (6000155)
- When administrators assign Android public applications through the Workspace ONE UEM Console, they may set lookup values for certain fields in the Application Configuration tab. If lookup values are used in nested fields – in other words, fields that are nested under other fields in the Application Configuration tab – Workspace ONE UEM will fail to resolve the lookup values when the app is pushed to a device. Impacted devices will get Application Configuration that contains the lookup value string instead of the resolved value for that user or device (e.g. “{SerialNumber}” is configured instead of the device’s actual Serial Number).
- This affects Workspace ONE UEM versions 23.10.0.25 and 23.10.0.26.
PPAT-1156: Low internet speeds when connected through Omnissa Tunnel for Windows (2960281)
- Omnissa Tunnel 2.0 for Windows
- Upon creating a VPN profile with per-app VPN configuration and deploying the profile to Windows 10 devices, the internet speed on the configured application (using Omnissa Tunnel) might be consistently low.
Announcing End of Life for Shift-Based Access Control in Workspace ONE (6000150)
- We are announcing end of life for the Shift-Based Access Control functionality supported by Workspace ONE Intelligent Hub, Hub Services and UEM. This will be effective 31st October 2024.
- Following this date, the feature will be removed from the foregoing products and will no longer be supported.
- As we start work on enriching and enhancing the admin experience with more status and error codes, we’ve made a small improvement to address the visibility of existing statuses and error codes. We’re adding in additional context to provide admins with more clarity on exactly what state the device is in during workflow execution. Please use the following table as a reference.
- The first column lists out what statuses and error codes exists within SFD, the component that handles app installation on a device. The second column lists out what statuses map to those SFD codes within the server with the third column showing what the admin sees on the UI within Freestyle workflows.
Integration of Hub Services from Workspace ONE UEM leveraging basic credentials will fail (6000147)
- Administrators may encounter the error "Connection failed with given URL, Username, and Password" when integrating Hub Services with Workspace ONE UEM using basic authentication credentials.
- Unable to use Login as Current User feature when an AllowCustomSSPsAPs GPO is applied to the agent machine.
- The "Login as Current User" feature will not function as expected when the AllowCustomSSPsAPs GPO is enabled.
