This article explains how to configure client restrictions, which specify that only certain Horizon Client versions can launch virtual desktops, published desktops, and published applications brokered by Universal Broker. You can also display warning messages to the users of client versions that you plan to restrict in the near future.
The client restrictions feature is supported for Horizon Client versions 4.5.0 or later, except Horizon Client for Chrome, which must be version 4.8.0 or later. Either specific or earlier versions of Horizon Client for the client type are prevented from connecting to remote desktops and published applications when this feature is configured. The capability to show warning messages to specific client versions is available for Horizon Client 5.5 and Horizon Client 2006 or later.
Procedure
-
Select Settings > Broker.
-
In the Broker page, click the Client Restrictions tab.
This tab displays all the client restriction settings that are currently in effect when users attempt to connect to desktops and applications through the Universal Broker service.
-
To modify client restriction settings, click Add or Edit. Then configure the settings as described in the following table.
The editing window provides controls for activating and configuring client restrictions.
-
Use the toggles to turn on and off restrictions for Horizon Client on specific platforms. For client platforms that have restrictions turned on, configure settings as described in the following table.
Note: Use the following guidelines when configuring settings:
- When specifying the client version, you must enter the version in the format x.x.x which corresponds to the internal version number. To find the internal version number for Horizon Client 2006 and later, select the command from the client menu that shows the application information for that Horizon Client.
- The client versions that you specify for Warn users connecting from client versions must be different from the client versions that you specify for Block connections from client versions. You can configure a given client version to either show a warning message or be blocked from connecting to sessions. You cannot configure the same client version to do both.
