From the AOC we work with great concern to guarantee, as much as possible, the security of Hestia and the data of the basic areas of Social Services. That's why the portable version will soon cease to be available that we publish from Hestia for ABSS that use virtualization environments, such as Terminal Server or Citrix. It has been detected that there are Social Services professionals still using this version of Hestia (C6.1.0.13). You can check if there is one in your ABSS from the "Settings" section, "Registries" tab, "Access to the application" option.
We have developed a new version of the official Hestia client that is distributed with Microsoft's ClickOnce technology. This version, already available at download page, is compatible with major virtualization environments. We need your cooperation to eventually replace the portable version of Hestia you are using before June 30, 2023. The option you should test with is the one you'll find published as the standard version:
At the AOC we do not have appropriate environments similar to yours to be able to test it, and that is why we request your collaboration to start the change process and that it does not drag on over time, reaching coincide with the removal of the portable version. Since December last year, ABSSs that were part of the pilot to use the standard version have been able to make the switch without much trouble.
