From a web browser on a client device, end users in Omnissa Horizon 8 or Horizon Cloud on Azure environments can connect to remote desktops and applications through the browser, automatically start Omnissa Horizon Client if it is installed, or download the Horizon Client installer.
When you open a browser and enter the URL of the connection broker, the web page that appears contains links to the client downloads site. The links on the Web page are configurable, however. For example, you can configure the links to point to an internal Web server, or you can limit which client versions are available on your own connection broker.
If you use Omnissa Horizon Web Client, the web page also displays a link for accessing remote desktops and applications inside a supported browser. With this feature, no cient application is installed on the client system or device. For more information, see the Horizon Web Client documentation.
Note: Horizon Web Client is available with Horizon 8 versions 2412 and later. For Horizon 8 versions 2406 and earlier, Horizon Web Client is called "HTML Access." This documentation page uses the name "Horizon Web Client" to refer to both Horizon Web Client and HTML Access.
