Workspot Control Release 18.2 Notes

Highlights

Note: Starting with Release 18.2, you will have to know your Company Identifier to sign in, either by using a Control URL that includes it or by typing it into the “Company Identifier” field on the first Control sign-in screen.

  • Support for Non-Persistent Global Desktop Pools on the Microsoft Azure Cloud.

  • Support for both multiple Control instances and enhanced Control sign-in security through changes to Control Administrator sign-in process.

  • Support for Entra ID, NPS, and IdP authentication for Workspot Managed Gateways on the Amazon Workspaces Core and Amazon EC2 Clouds.

  • Provisioning desktops in AWS Workspaces Core now takes place during pool creation rather than desktop assignment, speeding up the time to launch the desktop for the first time.

  • Control’s “Groups” page now has a “Domain” column that lists the domain associated with the Group, if any.

  • Changes to Control’s SAML Configuration page.

  • Workspot's Splunk output includes two new fields: "clientExternalpAddress" and "clientInternalIpAddress." See Workspot Configuration Guide for Splunk.

  • When creating a desktop pool using a Cloud and plan that require sole-tenant nodes (STN), you are notified that STNs will be used. If you have a choice of STN sizes or types, this will appear on the page as a “Sole-Tenant Node Type” pull-down menu.

Known Issues

New Known Issues

  • When using Entra ID (Azure AD) as your SAML provider, the usual logout URL provided by Azure AD may result in an error message when signing out of Control. Workaround: Configure SAML in Control ("Setup > SAML > Signout Service URL") to use the folllowing URL instead: “https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/wsfederation?wa=wsignout1.0”
