Interaction of Client-Interpreted USB Settings
The following table shows the modiers that specify how Horizon Client handles a Horizon Agent lter
policy seing for a client-interpreted seing.
Table 4‑8. Filter Modifiers for Client-Interpreted Settings
Modifier Description
Default (d in the registry
seing)
If a Horizon Client lter policy seing does not exist, Horizon Client uses the
Horizon Agent lter policy seing.
If a Horizon Client lter policy seing exists, Horizon Client applies that policy seing and
ignores the Horizon Agent lter policy seing.
Override (o in the
registry seing)
Horizon Client uses the Horizon Agent lter policy seing instead of any equivalent
Horizon Client lter policy seing.
Horizon Agent does not apply the lter policy seings for client-interpreted seings on its side of the
connection.
The following table shows examples of how Horizon Client processes the seings for Allow Smart Cards
when you specify dierent lter modiers.

If you set the Disable Remote Configuration Download policy to true, Horizon Client ignores any lter
policy seings that it receives from Horizon Agent.
Horizon Agent always applies the lter policy seings in agent-enforceable seings on its side of the
connection even if you congure Horizon Client to use a dierent lter policy seing or disable
Horizon Client from downloading lter policy seings from Horizon Agent. Horizon Client does not report
that Horizon Agent is blocking a device from being forwarded.
Precedence of Settings
Horizon Client evaluates the lter policy seings according to an order of precedence. A lter policy seing
that excludes a matching device from being redirected takes precedence over the equivalent lter policy
seing that includes the device. If Horizon Client does not encounter a lter policy seing to exclude a
device, Horizon Client allows the device to be redirected unless you have set the Exclude All Devices
policy to true. However, if you have congured a lter policy seing on Horizon Agent to exclude the
device, the desktop or application blocks any aempt to redirect the device to it.
Horizon Client evaluates the lter policy seings in order of precedence, taking into account the
Horizon Client seings and the Horizon Agent seings together with the modier values that you apply to
the Horizon Agent seings. The following list shows the order of precedence, with item 1 having the highest
precedence.
1 Exclude Path
2 Include Path
3 Exclude Vid/Pid Device
