Requirements for Using URL Content Redirection

With the URL Content Redirection feature, URL content can be redirected from the client machine to a remote desktop or published application (client-to-agent redirection), or from a remote desktop or published application to the client machine (agent-to-client redirection).

For example, an end user can click a link in the native Microsoft Word application on the client and the link opens in the remote Internet Explorer application, or an end user can click a link in the remote Internet Explorer application and the link opens in a native browser on the client machine. Any number of protocols can be configured for redirection, including HTTP, mailto, and callto.

A Horizon administrator must also configure settings that specify how Omnissa Horizon Client redirects URL content from the client to a remote desktop or published application, or how Horizon Agent redirects URL content from a remote desktop or published application to the client.

For complete information, see the "Configuring URL Content Redirection" topic in the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document.
