Preparing Connection Server for Horizon Client

Before end users can connect to a server in a Horizon 8 deployment and access a remote desktop or published application, a Horizon administrator must configure certain Connection Server settings.

Unified Access Gateway and Security Servers

If your deployment includes a Unified Access Gateway appliance, configure Connection Server to work with Unified Access Gateway. See the Deploying and Configuring Omnissa Unified Access Gateway document. Unified Access Gateway appliances perform the same role as security servers.

Secure Tunnel Connection

If you plan to use a secure tunnel connection for client devices, and if the secure connection is configured with a DNS host name for a Connection Server instance or a security server, verify that the client device can resolve this DNS name. .

Desktop and Application Pools

Use the following check list when configuring desktop and application pools.

User Authentication

  • To use Fingerprint authentication with Horizon Client, you must activate biometric authentication in Connection Server. For more information, see Horizon 8 Administration.

  • To allow end users to save their passwords with Horizon Client, so that they do not have to supply credentials when they connect to a Connection Server instance, configure Horizon LDAP for this feature in Connection Server.

    Users can save their passwords if Horizon LDAP is configured to allow it, if the Horizon Client certificate verification mode is set to Warn before connecting to untrusted servers or Never connect to untrusted servers, and if Horizon Client can fully verify the server certificate that Connection Server presents. For more information, see Horizon 8 Administration.

  • To provide end users with unauthenticated access to published applications in Horizon Client, you must activate this feature in the Connection Server instance. For more information, see the topics about unauthenticated access in Horizon 8 Administration.

  • To use two-factor authentication, such as RSA SecurID or RADIUS authentication, with Horizon Client, you must activate the two-factor authentication feature for the Connection Server instance. You can customize the labels on the RADIUS authentication login page and configure two-factor authentication to occur after a remote session times out. For more information, see the topics about two-factor authentication in the Horizon 8 Administration document.

  • To hide the server URL in Horizon Client, activate the Hide server information in client user interface global setting. For more information, see Horizon 8 Administration.

  • To hide the Domain drop-down menu in Horizon Client, activate the Hide domain list in client user interface global setting. This setting is activated by default. For more information, see Horizon 8 Administration.

  • To send the domain list to Horizon Client, activate the Send domain list global setting in Horizon Console. This setting is deactivated by default. For more information, see Horizon 8 Administration.

The following table shows how the Send domain list and Hide domain list in client user interface global settings determine how users can log in to the server.

Send domain list settingHide domain list in client user interface settingHow users log in
