New Remote Control Feature for Non-Domain/Corporate Devices and IP Restrictions in ControlUp
There was a discussion about the new Remote Control feature and whether non-Domain/Corporate devices can access it. The new feature is not dependent on Active Directory and only requires the agent to communicate with ControlUp's backend. Some companies may see this as a security risk, but it can be restricted to only allow access from corporate-owned devices by setting up the SAML provider. The required URLs for communication can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/agent-outbound-communication#required-urls and more information about remote controlling VDI/DAAS devices can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/remote-control-your-vdi-daas-devices. The group also discussed the importance of thoroughly reading and understanding the documentation before asking questions.
