Some updates to these pages about updating the Horizon Cloud Connector, related to when you have configured custom CA-signed certificates in the appliance.
Updates for the new features corresponding to the October 2022 What's New in the Horizon Cloud Release Notes.
Also, previous references to the console's feature for syslog settings on a Horizon Cloud pod's gateway configuration have been removed due to a known issue. Refer to the known issue in section 'Horizon Cloud Pods' Gateway Configuration Related Known Issues' in page First-Gen Tenants - Horizon Cloud - Known Issues.
Updates to those documentation pages that describe logging in to the Horizon Universal Console. These updates correspond to the June 26, 2022 update in the Horizon Cloud Release Notes. The console login now incorporates authentication using Omnissa Cloud services.
Added information to the Universal Broker Feature Considerations and Known Limitations page that when two-factor authentication is configured, your end users will be prompted to enter their Windows Active Directory credentials twice in the Universal Broker authentication flow.
Revised the page that describes the user attributes needed in Access console for the Universal Broker and Access integration to make it clear that the attributes are case-sensitive.
Added an important note to provide guidance that to be supported for use in Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure, all imported base images must be built from Windows-based VMs that are sourced from the Azure Marketplace. Even if you try an image obtained from other origins and the console does not prevent you from using it within the console's workflows, use of such images is unsupported.
The note is added to the following topics.
Removed the content that was related to the feature for emails for pod infrastructure alerts, for reasons stated in the June 29, 2021 What's New in the Horizon Cloud Release Notes.

Added a note that even though the pod deployment wizard will display a choice for the Azure Germany cloud environment, support for that choice is discontinued because Microsoft now has German regions in their set of standard global regions and has sunsetted use of their separate Azure Germany cloud environment. See KB article 77121.

Addition of prominent Attention and Remember notes to the Configure Automated Updates of the Horizon Cloud Connector Virtual Appliance to point out that you will only see the corresponding options in the user interface if and only if your Horizon Cloud tenant account is enabled with the relevant capability, and you must explicitly request enablement of that capability by opening a support request to request enablement.
