This page describes the feature components that you can install with Omnissa Horizon Client. For the .deb and .rpm installers, the installation of all components is mandatory and happens automatically.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Client Drive Redirection | Lets users share folders and drives on the client computer with remote desktops and applications. Drives can include mounted drives and USB storage devices.
The component files are installed in /usr/lib/omnissa/horizon/vdpService/. |
| HTML5 Multimedia Redirection (HTML5MMR) and Browser Content Redirection (BCR) | Redirects HTML5 multimedia content and browser content from a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser on the desktop to the client machine, where the stream is processed. |
| Multimedia Redirection (MMR) | Redirects multimedia stream from the desktop to the client machine, where the stream is processed.
The component file is installed in /usr/lib/omnissa/horizon/vdpService/. |
| Real-Time Audio-Video | Redirects webcam and audio devices that are connected to the client system so that they can be used on the remote desktop.
The component file is installed in /usr/lib/pcoip/vchan_plugins/. |
| Scanner Redirection | Lets users scan data into remote desktops with SANE-compliant scanners connected to their local client system. Users do not have to install scanner drivers on their remote desktops.
If you allow the Horizon Client installer to register and start the installed services after the installation completes successfully, the scanner redirection daemon runs automatically. Otherwise, you can start the scanner redirection daemon manually by running the following command.
Scanner redirection requires remote desktops to have Horizon Agent installed with the Scanner Redirection setup option, on the parent or template virtual machines or RDS hosts. In addition, this feature requires the PCoIP or Omnissa Horizon Blast display protocol.
After the installation, you can configure group policy settings for this feature by following the instructions in "Configure Scanner Redirection" in the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document. |
| Seamless Window | With this feature, users can interact with an application that is running on a remote desktop as if it was a locally running application. |
| Serial Port Redirection | Lets end users redirect locally connected serial ports, such as built-in RS-232 ports (/dev/ttySxx) or USB-to-Serial adapters (/dev/ttyUSBxx), to their remote desktops. If you allow the Horizon Client installer to register and start the installed services after the installation completes successfully, the serial port daemon runs automatically. Otherwise, you can start the serial port daemon manually by running the following command.
To make a USB-to-Serial adapter device available for serial port redirection, deselect Connect USB Device > Automatically Connect at Startup & Automatically Connect when inserted and ensure that the USB-to-Serial adapter device is not selected under the Connect USB Device menu. |
| Smart Card Redirection | Lets users authenticate into remote desktops with smart cards attached to their client systems when they use the Horizon Blast or PCoIP display protocol. Although this option is selected in the client installer by default, this option is not selected by default when you run the Horizon Agent installer in the remote desktop.
Smart card redirection is supported on remote desktops that are deployed on single-user machines and RDS hosts.
The component files are installed in /usr/lib/pcoip/vchan_plugins/. |
| USB Redirection | Gives users access to locally connected USB devices on their desktops and applications.
USB redirection is supported on remote desktops and applications that are deployed on single-user machines.
The component files are installed in /usr/lib/omnissa/horizon/usb/. If you allow the installer to register and start installed services after the installation completes, the USB arbitrator daemon, horizon-USBArbitrator, runs automatically. Otherwise, you can start the daemon manually by running the following command:
Note: You can use group policy settings to deactivate USB redirection for specific users. For more information, see the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document. |
| Integrated Printing | Lets users print to local or network printers from a Windows remote desktop without having to install printer drivers in the remote desktop. In addition to installing this option on the client system, you must enable the Integrated Printing option in the Horizon Agent installer and set policies that control Integrated Printing behavior. For information about installing Horizon Agent, see the Desktops and Applications in Omnissa Horizon 8 document. For information about configuring policies, see the Horizon Remote Desktop Features and GPOs document. |
