Clipboard redirection is a feature that allows users to copy and paste data between their local device and a remote desktop session.
Agent-Side Configuration
Clipboard redirection settings are read from the Horizon Agent configuration file. The agent searches the following locations in order of precedence, and the first value found is applied:
/Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/Omnissa Horizon Agent/config/Users/<user>/.omnissa/config/usr/lib/omnissa/config/etc/omnissa/config
Specify each configuration entry on a separate line using the following format:
Identifier.SettingName=Value
Supported Clipboard Settings
Clipboard.Direction
Controls the permitted direction of clipboard redirection between the client and the Horizon Agent.
Example:
Clipboard.Direction=1
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Disabled (disables clipboard redirection) |
| 1 | Bidirectional (Client ↔ Agent) |
| 2 | Client to Agent only (Default) |
| 3 | Agent to Client only |
mksvchan.clipboardSize
Defines the maximum clipboard payload size that clipboard redirection can transfer.
Example:
mksvchan.clipboardSize=4096
This example allows clipboard transfers of up to 4096 KB (4 MB).
Audio Redirection
Horizon Agent for macOS supports only audio output (speakers and headphones) redirection in remote sessions.
Multi-Monitor Support
Horizon Agent for macOS supports up to 2 monitors simultaneously. Horizon Client and Horizon Agent negotiate monitor layout at session startup. No additional agent-side configuration is required for standard multi-monitor operation.
