Live Connect

NOTE Live Connect now supports VSA native 2FA.
NOTE Num Lock key and RDP - If you are connected through Live Connect and launch an RDP session from the Windows endpoint, use of the keyboard Num Lock key is detected on the endpoint only. The Num Lock key is not detected within the RDP session.
