Using Horizon Client on a Thin Client
Some features are different or unavailable when you use Horizon Client in thin client mode.
n
The Horizon Client screen resolution is set to Auto-fit by default. The auto-fit resolution is the same as
your thin client's HDMI output. For example, if your thin client supports HDMI 4K output, the auto-fit
resolution is 4K. If your thin client supports HDMI 1080p output, the auto-fit resolution is 1920x1080.
You can downscale the resolution by modifying the Horizon Client Resolution setting.
n
The Horizon Client Presentation Mode and Stay Awake display settings are not available.
n
You cannot modify the Horizon Client Keyboard settings.
n
The Horizon Client Tools radial menu is not available in remote desktops and applications.
n
In general, the gestures you use in Horizon Client depend on your thin client model and the type of
external input device that you use with your thin client. For example, you might have a keyboard,
mouse, remote control, or game controller. See the documentation for your external input device for
more information.
n
The Unity Touch sidebar contains Keyboard, Settings, and Disconnect icons. For more information, see
“Using the Unity Touch Sidebar with a Remote Desktop,” on page 41 and “Using the Unity Touch
Sidebar with a Remote Application,” on page 44.
n
The Unity Touch sidebar is supported on Remix Mini and NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV devices. The
Unity Touch sidebar is not supported on Amazon Fire TV.
n
If you are connected to a remote desktop or application from an Amazon Fire TV device, you must use
a pop-up menu to display Horizon Client Settings and to disconnect from the remote desktop or
application. On a remote control or external keyboard, press the Menu button to display the pop-up
menu.
Using Embedded RSA SecurID Software Tokens
If you create and distribute RSA SecurID software tokens to end users, they need enter only their PIN, rather
than PIN and token code, to authenticate.
Setup Requirements
You can use Compressed Token Format (CTF) or dynamic seed provisioning, which is also called CT-KIP
(Cryptographic Token Key Initialization Protocol), to set up an easy-to-use RSA authentication system. With
this system, you generate a URL to send to end users. To install the token, end users paste this URL directly
into Horizon Client on their client devices. The dialog box for pasting this URL appears when end users
connect to Connection Server with Horizon Client.
Horizon Client also supports file-based provisioning. When a file-based software token is issued to a user,
the authentication server generates an XML-format token file, which is called an SDTID file for its .sdtid
extension. Horizon Client can import the SDTID file directly. Users can also launch Horizon Client by
tapping the SDTID file in a file browser.
After the software token is installed, end users enter a PIN to authenticate. With external RSA tokens, end
users must enter a PIN and the token code generated by a hardware or software authentication token.
