Morning all,

I have started working with a pre set-up VDI, that is wholly VMWare 5.

We use Horizon clients to connect to a View server, or we have the small Wyse 
terminals that do the same thing.

The View server is internally addressed and connected to via IP, but it's also 
accessible via the Internet through a Security server in our DMZ, also via an 
external fixed IP.

What has become clear is that if the user knows the External IP, then they can 
connect to the desktop on the View server, and there seems to be no way of 
being able to allocate a group of users that can/ cannot access their desktop 
outside of the office.

This seems like a massive omission, unless I am missing something vital, as we 
do have some users that management would prefer not to log in from home to 
their desktops.

The firewall can be configured to prevent the connections but none of the users 
that we want to allow will have fixed IP addresses.

Anyone come across this and have a solution?
