User manual

In addition to meeting these requirements for Horizon Client systems, other View components must meet
certain configuration requirements to support smart cards:
n
For information about configuring Connection Server to support smart card use, see "Configure Smart
Card Authentication" in the View Administration document.
You must add all applicable Certificate Authority (CA) certificates for all trusted user certificates to a
server truststore file on the Connection Server host or security server host. These certificates include
root certificates and must include intermediate certificates if the user's smart card certificate was issued
by an intermediate certificate authority.
n
For information about tasks you might need to perform in Active Directory to implement smart card
authentication, see the topics about preparing Active Directory for smart card authentication in the View
Installation document.
Device Authentication Requirements
You can set up certificate authentication for client devices.
This feature has the following requirements:
n
Access Point 2.6 or later.
n
Horizon 7 version 7.0 or later.
n
A certificate installed on the client device that Access Point will accept.
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.
Some Linux guest operating systems are also supported if you have View Agent 6.1.1 or later, or
Horizon Agent 7.0 or later. For information about system requirements, configuring Linux virtual machines
for use in Horizon 6 or Horizon 7, and a list of supported features, see Setting Up Horizon 6 for Linux
Desktops, which is part of the Horizon 6, version 6.1 documentation, or see Setting Up Horizon 7 for Linux
Desktops.
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.
