Preparing View Connection Server for Horizon View Client
Administrators must perform specific tasks to enable end users to connect to remote desktops.
Before end users can connect to View Connection Server or a security server and access a remote desktop,
you must configure certain pool settings and security settings:
n
If you are using a security server, as VMware recommends, verify that you are using the latest
maintenance releases of View Connection Server 4.6.x and View Security Server 4.6.x or later releases.
See the VMware Horizon View Installation documentation.
n
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 View Connection Server or a security server, verify that the client
device can resolve this DNS name.
To enable or disable the secure tunnel, in View Administrator, go to the Edit View Connection Server
Settings dialog box and use the check box called Use secure tunnel connection to desktop.
n
Verify that a desktop pool has been created and that the user account that you plan to use is entitled to
access the remote desktop. See the topics about creating desktop pools in the VMware Horizon View
Administration documentation.
n
To use two-factor authentication with Horizon View Client, such as RSA SecurID or RADIUS
authentication, you must enable this feature on View Connection Server. RADIUS authentication is
available with View 5.1 or later View Connection Server. For more information, see the topics about
two-factor authentication in the VMware Horizon View Administration documentation.
n
To allow end users to save their passwords with Horizon View Client, so that users do not always need
to supply credentials when logging in to a remote desktop, configure the policy for this feature on View
Connection Server.
