3 If you are prompted a second time for RSA SecurID credentials or RADIUS authentication credentials,
enter the next generated number on the token.
Do not enter your PIN and do not enter the same generated number entered previously. If necessary,

desktop or application icon and tap Mark as Favorite from the app commands at the bottom of the
screen.
A star icon appears in the upper-right corner of the desktop or application name. The next time you log
in, you can select Favorites from the drop-down list at the top of the screen to quickly find this
application or desktop.
6 (Optional) To pin a remote desktop to the Start screen, tap and hold (or right-click) the desktop icon
and tap Pin to Start from the app commands at the bottom of the screen.
The next time you want to connect to the remote desktop, you can tap the shortcut on the client
system's Start screen instead of tapping the VMware Horizon icon.
7 Tap a desktop or application to connect to it.
If you are connecting to a session-based remote desktop, which is hosted on a Microsoft RDS host, and
if the desktop is already set to use the Microsoft RDP display protocol, you will not be able to connect
immediately. You will be prompted to have the system log you off of the remote operating system so
that a connection can be made with the PCoIP display protocol from VMware.
The remote desktop or application starts. Depending on the options you chose, the next time you want to
connect to the remote desktop or application, launch Horizon Client and select from a short list of favorites,
or, for remote desktops, use a shortcut you pinned to the Start screen.
Certificate Checking Modes for Horizon Client
Administrators and sometimes end users can configure whether client connections are rejected if any or
some server certificate checks fail.
Certificate checking occurs for SSL connections between View Connection Server and Horizon Client.
Certificate verification includes the following checks:
n
Has the certificate been revoked?
n
Is the certificate intended for a purpose other than verifying the identity of the sender and encrypting
server communications? That is, is it the correct type of certificate?
n
Has the certificate expired, or is it valid only in the future? That is, is the certificate valid according to
the computer clock?
