Interaction of Agent-Enforced USB Settings
The following table shows the modifiers that specify how Horizon Client handles a Horizon Agent filter
policy setting for an agent-enforceable setting if an equivalent filter policy setting exists for Horizon Client.
Table 4‑7. Filter Modifiers for Agent-Enforceable Settings
Modifier Description
m (merge) Horizon Client applies the Horizon Agent filter policy setting in addition to the Horizon Client filter
policy setting. In the case of Boolean, or true/false, settings, if the client policy is not set, the agent
settings are used. If the client policy is set, the agent settings are ignored, except for the Exclude
All Devices setting. If the Exclude All Devices policy is set on the agent side, the policy
overrides the client setting.
o (override) Horizon Client uses the Horizon Agent filter policy setting instead of the Horizon Client filter policy
setting.
For example, the following policy on the agent side overrides any include rules on the client side, and only
device VID-0911_PID-149a will have an include rule applied:
IncludeVidPid: o:VID-0911_PID-149a
You can also use asterisks as wildcard characters; for example: o:vid-0911_pid-****
Important If you configure the agent side without the o or m modifier, the configuration rule is considered
invalid and will be ignored.
Interaction of Client-Interpreted USB Settings
The following table shows the modifiers that specify how Horizon Client handles a Horizon Agent filter
policy setting for a client-interpreted setting.
Table 4‑8. Filter Modifiers for Client-Interpreted Settings
Modifier Description
Default (d in the registry
setting)
If a Horizon Client filter policy setting does not exist, Horizon Client uses the Horizon Agent filter
policy setting.
If a Horizon Client filter policy setting exists, Horizon Client applies that policy setting and ignores
the Horizon Agent filter policy setting.
Override (o in the registry
setting)
Horizon Client uses the Horizon Agent filter policy setting instead of any equivalent Horizon Client
filter policy setting.
Horizon Agent does not apply the filter policy settings for client-interpreted settings on its side of the
connection.
The following table shows examples of how Horizon Client processes the settings for Allow Smart
Cards when you specify different filter modifiers.
