Auto Login Instant Clones

[GoShen]

Hi All,

In my Horizon lab I am using the Horizon Client to connect. It does work properly but i have noticed that after the connection is made to the instant clone, it gives me the Windows Logon screen and does not use the credentials I already provided. I have to click "other user" and then sign in. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that I am missing.

Any guidance on where that setting is? Thank you

Did you setup TrueSSO and is that still working correctly?

@GoShen, could you provide us with a bit more information on your environment?

 

Also:

1. Is the version of Windows you deployed, compatible with the version of Horizon? I've seen similar issues when using unsupported Windows 11 versions with versions of Horizon that didn't support it.
2. Are you using MFA? If so, what provider, and are you using SAML?
3. Are you using a UAG for access?

Hi Stephen,

   The lab is Windows 10 22H2 Pro for instant clones, Horizon 8 2306 (VMUG Sub), one CS, no UAG, no MFA, no SAML, but i do have the events going to an SQL server.

Using Vsphere/VCenter 7. (VMUG) and ESXI 8 (VMUG).

Thank You

In this case everything should be working...

Just to confirm your workflow:

1. Open Client, connect to Connection Server
2. Prompt for Username and Password, you enter the credentials
3. It either opens a desktop or prompts you to choose your desktop pool

Or is any of the above different?

 

Also, on your connection Server, under "Global Settings", is "Single Sign-On (SSO)" enabled?

Hi  @GoShen

- do you have any time difference between Desktops \CS\AD?

-try to dis join and rejoin master image to AD

[Gerard Strouth]

I've seen it before where if you create a new pool or change the snapshot after you have already connected with the Horizon client that it does this and you just have to disconnect and then connect again.

The master/gold image should not be domain joined. Domain join occurs during ClonePrep process.

Robin,

  This is a lab so I have not setup True SSO yet.

Stephen,

   I do not recall enabling SSO. To your point and Robin's this could be what i am missing.

Hussam,

   I have not tried this yet or looked at the times. 

Gerard ,,

   I have shutdown the lab (vcenter all together).

One point I would like to make is this is a lab and not only that, this is not a situation where it use to work then stopped working. So I think I will review the SSO as mentioned and try it after I make that adjustment.

Thank you all for your posts. I'll post back with some results after looking at True SSO.

TrueSSO is only required if you need it for a specific purpose. TrueSSO, and the SSO setting I mentioned in the Horizon Admin UI are different things.

You mentioned you didn't enable it. It's enabled by default, so does that mean you turned it off?

[GoShen]

Stephen,

   Shows how much i don't know lol  This weekend i'll make a video small video and post on here for review. 

I'll also post screen shots of the Console. Is there a particular spot in the console you guys would like to see? Thank You

Hi All,

   So in the Horizon Console, under the Global Settings, the SSO Settings was disabled. All I did is enable that and then when I open the Horizon Client, click to connect, enter the credentials, I am then presented with the VM. I click the VM and it logs me in directly to the desktop. Thanks for your help!
