Configuring USB Redirection on a Mac Client

You can configure which USB devices are redirected to a remote desktop.

You can configure USB policies for View Agent or Horizon Agent on the remote desktop, and for Horizon Client on the Mac client system, to achieve the following goals.

• Restrict the types of USB devices that Horizon Client makes available for redirection.

• Make View Agent or Horizon Agent prevent certain USB devices from being forwarded from a client computer.

• Specify whether Horizon Client splits composite USB devices into separate components for redirection.

  Composite USB devices consist of a combination of two or more devices, such as a video input device and a storage device.

Configuration settings on the client might be merged with or overridden by corresponding policies set for View Agent or Horizon Agent on the remote desktop. For information about how USB settings on the client work together with View Agent or Horizon Agent USB policies, see the topics about using policies to control USB redirection in the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document.
