Table 3‑9. Horizon Client Configuration Template: USB Filtering Settings (Continued)
Setting Properties
Allow Device
Descriptor Failsafe
Behavior
Allows devices to be redirected even if the Horizon Client fails to get the config/device
descriptors.
To allow a device even if it fails the config/desc, include it in the Include filters, such
IncludeVidPid or IncludePath.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Allow Other Input
Devices
Allows input devices other than hid-bootable devices or keyboards with integrated
pointing devices to be redirected.
The default value is undefined, which equates to true.
Allow Keyboard and
Mouse Devices
Allows keyboards with integrated pointing devices (such as a mouse, trackball, or touch
pad) to be redirected.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Allow Smart Cards
Allows smart-card devices to be redirected.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Allow Video Devices
Allows video devices to be redirected.
The default value is undefined, which equates to true.
Disable Remote
Configuration
Disables the use of View Agent settings when performing USB device filtering.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Exclude All Devices Excludes all USB devices from being redirected. If set to true, you can use other policy
settings to allow specific devices or families of devices to be redirected. If set to false, you
can use other policy settings to prevent specific devices or families of devices from being
redirected.
If you set the value of Exclude All Devices to true on View Agent, and this setting is
passed to Horizon Client, the View Agent setting overrides the Horizon Client setting.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Exclude Device Family
Excludes families of devices from being redirected. The format of the setting is
family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: bluetooth;smart-card
If you have enabled automatic device splitting, View examines the device family of each
interface of a composite USB device to decide which interfaces should be excluded. If you
have disabled automatic device splitting, View examines the device family of the whole
composite USB device.
The default value is undefined.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
Excludes devices with specified vendor and product IDs from being redirected. The format
of the setting is vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*) in
place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: vid-0781_pid-****;vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undefined.
Exclude Path
Exclude devices at specified hub or port paths from being redirected. The format of the
setting is bus-x1[/y1].../port-z1[;bus-x2[/y2].../port-z2]...
You must specify bus and port numbers in hexadecimal. You cannot use the wildcard
character in paths.
For example: bus-1/2/3_port-02;bus-1/1/1/4_port-ff
The default value is undefined.
Include Device Family
Includes families of devices that can be redirected. The format of the setting is
family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: storage
The default value is undefined.
