Horizon 6.2 to 7 Upgrade issue with Admin page

Hi,

I just upgraded my Horizon View 6.2 environment to 7. The upgrades seemed to well of my Composer server and my two connection servers. However when I try and login to the Admin page it is just a blank blue screen and the watch keeps going round and round. Anyone seen this yet?

Thanks.

Use a different browser than chrome if that's what you used in the past. We are having this same issue too and the warning is blank except for a time stamp.  Also, HTML Blast does not work through chrome anymore, it says it can't find the connection server, but all other browsers work. 

TL;DR

Google Chrome no longer works with Horizon View 7 products.

That is a tough one to believe. How can Chrome not be supported in Horizon 7? What version of Chrome are you using?

While hard to believe we've testing on several OS's, and machines on prem and off.  We've tested version

47.0.2526.106 m

and

49.0.2623.87 m


The specific pages/items that don't work any longer are:

Load Balanced https://view.site.com/admin

Hostname only  https://hostname/admin

HTML Access  via hostname only https://hostname

HTML Access via Load Balanced name Https://view.site.com



Things that still work:

PCoIP via Client

FQDN Admin Page directly to connection server (not load balance name) https://FQDN

Main horizon page of https://hostname OR https://FQDN


Right now it appears only directly to A connection server AND via FQDN (Yes I know this is best practice, BUT this wasn't broken before) is the only means working IN CHROME.  IE and Edge are functioning correctly.

And confirmed it works in FireFox.  It's a Chrome specific issue at the moment.  I'm thinking our Load balancing isn't using FQDN in the back end and I bet something being handled in Chrome doesn't like what view is presenting anymore unless it's a FQDN

I have been just using Firefox for the time being until I hear of a fix.

I wish someone had an actual fix for Chrome working with anything in Horizon 7

You sir, are my hero. That fixes Chome for the admin page and HTML use!

I wonder why only Chrome was affected.

I tried this workaround with Horizon 7 and Chrome on MAC - no luck...

FWIW, be sure to restart the browser as well.

Confirmed this works with Chrome 58.0.3029.96 (64-bit)
