Table 2-2. General Global Settings for Client Sessions (continued)
Setting Description
For clients that support
applications.
If the user stops using the
keyboard and mouse, disconnect
their applications and discard SSO
credentials:
Protects application sessions when there is no keyboard or mouse activity on the
client device. If set to After ... minutes, Horizon 7 disconnects all applications
and discards SSO credentials after the specified number of minutes without
user activity. Desktop sessions are not disconnected. Users must log in again
to reconnect to the applications that were disconnected or launch a new desktop
or application.
This setting also applies to the True SSO feature. After SSO credentials are
discarded, users are prompted for Active Directory credentials. If users logged in
to VMware Identity Manager without using AD credentials and do not know what
AD credentials to enter, users can log out and log in to VMware Identity Manager
again to access their remote desktops and applications.
Important Users must be aware that when they have both applications and
desktops open, and their applications are disconnected because of this timeout,
their desktops remain connected. Users must not rely on this timeout to protect
their desktops.
If set to Never, Horizon 7 never disconnects applications or discards SSO
credentials due to user inactivity.
The default is Never.
Other clients.
Discard SSO credentials:
Discards SSO credentials after the specified number of minutes. This setting is for
clients that do not support application remoting. If set to After ... minutes, users
must log in again to connect to a desktop after the specified number of minutes
has passed since the user logged in to Horizon 7, regardless of any user activity
on the client device.
If set to Never, Horizon 7 stores SSO credentials until the user closes Horizon
Client, or the Forcibly disconnect users timeout is reached, whichever comes
first.
The default is After 15 minutes.
Enable automatic status updates Determines if status updates appear in the global status pane in the upper-left
corner of Horizon Administrator every few minutes. The dashboard page of
Horizon Administrator is also updated every few minutes.
By default, this setting is not enabled.
