Service: workspaces-thin-client · 2025-11-07 · Documentation low

File: workspaces-thin-client/latest/ag/configuring-AS2.md

Summary

Updated product name references from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document. Modified SAML authentication guidance and configuration requirements to match new product naming.

Security assessment

Changes are product rebranding updates rather than security fixes. While authentication mechanisms are mentioned, there's no evidence of addressing vulnerabilities or changing security controls.
