Enhancements in Accops Workspace Windows Client version 7.2.0.1078

Gateway-Based Control for Client Proxy Bypass Modification

In earlier releases, Workspace Client automatically modified system proxy settings during client login when a proxy was configured on the end-user machine. Published HySecure applications were added to the proxy bypass list, and original proxy settings were restored on client logout. This behavior was enabled by default and could not be controlled by administrators.

Enhanced Behavior

Administrators can now control proxy bypass list modification through gateway configuration:

  • Default behavior: Proxy bypass list is modified on client login (maintains backward compatibility with earlier releases).
  • New capability: Administrators can prevent modifications to the proxy bypass list by setting a gateway tag at the user or group level.
  • Centralized management: When tag is enabled (set to True), Workspace Client will not modify the proxy bypass list during login or logout.

This enhancement provides greater flexibility and ensures compatibility with environments where proxy settings are centrally managed.

This enhancement is supported on the following client modes and types with HySecure Gateway versions 5.4 SP6, 7.0, and above:
