About Integrating Independent Horizon Pods with Omnissa Access

To integrate Horizon pods with Omnissa Access, you create one or more virtual apps collections in the Omnissa Access console. The virtual apps collections contain the configuration information for the Horizon Connection Servers, sync settings, and other settings relevant to the integration.

Before you perform any integration tasks in the Omnissa Access console, you must set up Horizon. You create and configure desktop and application pools in Horizon Console, not in the Omnissa Access console. You also set assignments for Active Directory users and groups in Horizon Console.

Integrating Horizon pods with Omnissa Access involves the following high-level tasks.

• Deploy and configure Horizon servers.
• Deploy Horizon desktop and application pools, with entitlements set for Active Directory users and groups.
• Sync Active Directory users and groups who are entitled to application and desktop pools in Horizon Connection Server instances to the Omnissa Access service using the Directory Sync service.
• Create one or more virtual apps collections for the Horizon pods in Omnissa Access.
• Configure SAML authenticator on the Horizon Connection Server. You must always use the Omnissa Access FQDN on the Authenticator configuration page.
