Connecting to a Server at Horizon Client Launch
The Always connect at launch setting is enabled by default for the first server that you connect to with
Horizon Client. When this setting is enabled for a server, Horizon Client always connects to that server
when you launch Horizon Client.
To disable this behavior for a server, select the server shortcut on the Horizon Client Home screen, press
Control-click on the Apple keyboard, and deselect the Always connect at launch setting. If you have other
server shortcuts on your Horizon Client Home screen, you can enable the Always connect at launch setting
for a different server.
You can enable the Always connect at launch setting for only one server at a time.
Configure Horizon Client to Forget the Server User Name and Domain
By default, Horizon Client stores the user name and domain that you enter when you log in to a server to
connect to a remote desktop or application. For increased security, you can configure Horizon Client to
never remember the server user name and domain.
Procedure
1 Select VMware Horizon Client > Preferences from the menu bar.
