Enable fingerprint authentication by tapping Enable Fingerprint on the
server login screen. After you successfully log in, your Active Directory
credentials are stored securely in your Android device. The Enable
Fingerprint option is shown the first time you log in and does not
appear after fingerprint authentication is enabled.
You can use fingerprint authentication with smart card authentication and as part of two-factor
authentication with RSA SecurID and RADIUS authentication. If you use fingerprint authentication with
smart card authentication, Horizon Client connects to the server after you enter your PIN and the
fingerprint authentication screen does not appear.
Supported Desktop Operating Systems
Administrators create virtual machines with a guest operating system and install agent software in the guest
operating system. End users can log in to these virtual machines from a client device.
For a list of the supported Windows guest operating systems, see the "Supported Operating Systems for
View Agent" topic in the View 5.x or 6.x installation documentation. See the "Supported Operating Systems
for Horizon Agent" topic in the Horizon 7 installation documentation.
Preparing Connection Server for Horizon Client
Administrators must perform specific tasks to enable end users to connect to remote desktops and
applications.
Before end users can connect to Connection Server or a security server and access a remote desktop or
application, you must configure certain pool settings and security settings:
n
If you plan to use Access Point, which is available with Horizon 6 version 6.2 or later, configure
Connection Server to work with Access Point. See Deploying and Configuring Access Point. Access Point
appliances fulfill the same role that was previously played by only security servers.
n
If you are using a security server, verify that you are using the latest maintenance releases of
Connection Server 5.3.x and Security Server 5.3.x or later releases. See the View Installation document.
n
If you plan to use a secure tunnel connection for client devices and if the secure connection is
configured with a DNS host name for Connection Server or a security server, verify that the client
device can resolve this DNS name.
To enable or disable the secure tunnel, in View Administrator, go to the Edit View Connection Server
Settings dialog box and use the check box called Use secure tunnel connection to desktop.
n
Verify that a desktop or application pool has been created and that the user account that you plan to use
is entitled to access the pool. For Connection Server 5.3.x, see the topics about creating desktop pools in
the View Administration document. For Connection Server 6.0 and later, see the topics about creating
desktop and application pools in the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
n
To use two-factor authentication with Horizon Client, such as RSA SecurID or RADIUS authentication,
you must enable this feature on Connection Server. For more information, see the topics about two-
factor authentication in the View Administration document.
n
To enable end users to save their passwords with Horizon Client, so that they do not always need to
supply credentials when connecting to a Connection Server instance, configure View LDAP for this
feature on the Connection Server host.
Users can save their passwords if View LDAP is configured to allow it, if the Horizon Client certificate
verification mode is set to Warn before connecting to untrusted servers or Never connect to untrusted
servers, and if Horizon Client can fully verify the server certificate that Connection Server presents. For
instructions, see "Saving Credentials in Mobile and Mac OS X Horizon Clients" in the View
Administration document.
