Option Description
Set the policy on the server
If you use View Administrator to set a policy, the choices are to disconnect
users from Connection Server when they remove their smart cards or to
keep users connected to Connection Server when they remove their smart
cards and let them start new desktop or application sessions without
reauthenticating.
a In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Servers.
b On the Connection Servers tab, select the Connection Server instance
and click Edit.
c On the Authentication tab, select or deselect the Disconnect user
sessions on smart card removal check box to configure the smart card
removal policy.
d Click OK to save your changes.
e Restart the Connection Server service to make your changes take
effect.
If you select the Disconnect user sessions on smart card removal check
box, Horizon Client returns to the Recent tab when users remove their
smart cards.
Set the policy on the desktop
If you use the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), you have the following
possible settings: no action, lock workstation, force log off, or Disconnect if
a Remote Desktop Services session.
After you open gpedit.msc in the desktop operating system, go to
Windows settings > Security settings > Local policies > Security options >
Interactive logon: smart card removal behavior. Run the
gpupdate /force command after you change the configuration to force a
group policy refresh.
