You can redirect some URLs from a remote desktop or application to a client, and redirect other URLs
from a client to a remote desktop or application. You can redirect any number of protocols, including
HTTP, HTTPS, mailto, and callto.
Requirements for URL Content Redirection
To use the URL Content Redirection feature, your client machines, remote desktop machines, and RDS
hosts must meet certain requirements.
Windows clients Horizon Client 4.0 for Windows or later.
To use client-to-agent redirection, you must enable the URL Content
Redirection feature during Horizon Client for Windows installation. You do
not need to enable the URL Content Redirection feature in Horizon Client
for Windows to use agent-to-client redirection.
Mac clients Horizon Client 4.2 for Mac or later.
In Horizon Client 4.2 or 4.3 for Mac, URL Content Redirection is a Tech
Preview feature and it supports only agent-to-client redirection. In
Horizon Client 4.4 for Mac and later, URL Content Redirection is officially
supported and it supports both agent-to-client and client-to-agent
redirection.
Desktop virtual
machines and RDS
hosts
Horizon Agent 7.0 or later in remote desktop machines and RDS hosts that
provide desktops and applications.
You must enable the URL Content Redirection feature during
Horizon Agent installation.
Web browsers Internet Explorer 9,10, and 11
Display protocols VMware Blast and PCoIP
Using URL Content Redirection in a Cloud Pod
Architecture Environment
If you have a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, you can configure global URL content redirection
settings in addition to local URL content redirection settings.
Unlike local URL content redirection settings, which are visible only in the local pod, global URL content
redirection settings are visible across the pod federation. With global URL content redirection settings,
you can redirect URL links in the client to global resources, such as global desktop entitlements and
global application entitlements.
