User manual

4 Follow the prompts to install the components you want. Use the following guidelines.
Option Description
IP protocol
The installer prompts you to select a network protocol. Do not select IPv6
unless all components in your View setup use IPv6. If you select IPv6,
several features are unavailable. For more information, see the chapter
about installing View in an IPv6 environment, in the View Installation
document.
FIPS
You will see a prompt regarding whether to install the client with FIPS-
compliant cryptography only if you have already enabled FIPS in the client
operating system, as described in the prerequisites.
If you install Horizon Client with the URL Content Redirection feature, after the installation, you can verify
that the feature is installed by checking that the vmware-url-protocol-launch-helper.exe file and the
vmware-url-filtering-plugin.dll file are installed in the directory %PROGRAMFILES%\VMware\VMware Horizon
View Client\. Also ensure that the following Internet Explorer add-on is installed and enabled: VMware
Horizon View URL Filtering Plugin.
The installer installs certain Windows services, including VMware Horizon Client, VMware USB Arbitration
Service, and VMware View USB. Their corresponding process names are horizon_client_service (.exe),
VMUSBArbService, and vmware-view-usbd.
What to do next
Start Horizon Client and verify that you can log in to the correct remote desktop or application. See
“Connect to a Remote Desktop or Application,” on page 59.
Enabling FIPS Mode in the Windows Client Operating System
You must enable FIPS mode in the client operating system before you run the client installer if you plan to
install Horizon Client with FIPS-compliant cryptography.
When FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) mode is enabled in the client operating system,
applications are informed that they should only use cryptographic algorithms that are FIPS-140 compliant
and in compliance with FIPS-approved modes of operation. You can enable FIPS mode by enabling a
specific security setting, either in the Local Security Policy or as part of Group Policy or by editing a
Windows Registry key.
IMPORTANT Installing Horizon Client with FIPS-compliant cryptography is supported only for clients with
Windows 7 SP1 operating systems.
For more information about FIPS support, which is available with Horizon 6 version 6.2 or later, see the
View Installation document.
Setting the Configuration Property
To enable FIPS mode in the client operating system, you can either use a Windows GPO or use a Windows
Registry setting for the client computer.
n
To use the GPO setting, open the Group Policy Editor and navigate to:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options
Enable the System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and
signing setting.
n
To use the Windows Registry, go to the following Registry key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy\Enabled
To enable FIPS mode, set Enabled to 1.
