The Unified Access Gateway Admin user interface, configuration strings, and file paths have been updated to reflect the new Omnissa brand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As HTML Access is renamed to Web Client, the related keys and Admin UI settings on Unified Access Gateway are also renamed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Operating System Update<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Following the transition from Broadcom to Omnissa, the Unified Access Gateway now uses the AlmaLinux operating system. AlmaLinux is an open-source, community-driven Linux operating system. Unified Access Gateway 2412 uses AlmaLinux 9.2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compatibility between ALMA 9.2 and ESXi (vSphere\/vCenter)<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unified Access Gateway 2412 supports vSphere 7.x and later only.

Added support for encrypting this assertion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change in the default value of SAML Authentication request signature algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-256.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On FIPS version of Unified Access Gateway, Extended Master Secret extension is mandatory for TLS 1.2 connections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Updates to TLS Ciphers.
