Table 3‑13. Horizon Client Registry Settings (Continued)
Registry Setting Description
ServerURL
Specifies the default View Connection Server instance by its URL, IP address, or FQDN.
EnableSoftKeypad If set to true and a Horizon Client window has focus, then physical keyboard, onscreen
keyboard, mouse, and handwriting pad events are sent to the remote desktop or remote
application, even if the mouse or onscreen keyboard is outside of the Horizon Client window.
The default is false.
The following table shows security settings that you can add. The location of these settings depends on the
type of system:
n
For 32-bit Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\Security
n
For 64-bit Windows: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\Security
Table 3‑14. Security Settings
Registry Setting Description and Valid Values
CertCheckMode
Specifies the certificate checking mode.
n
0 implements Do not verify server identity certificates.
n
1 implements Warn before connecting to untrusted servers.
n
2 implements Never connect to untrusted servers.
SSLCipherList
Configures the cipher list to restrict the use of certain cryptographic algorithms and protocols
before establishing an encrypted SSL connection. The cipher list consists of one or more
cipher strings separated by colons.
NOTE All cipher strings are case-sensitive.
The default value is TLSv1:TLSv1.1:TLSv1.2:!aNULL:kECDH+AES:ECDH+AES:RSA
+AES:@STRENGTH.
TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2 are enabled. (SSL v2.0 and v3.0 are removed.)
Cipher suites use 128- or 256-bit AES, remove anonymous DH algorithms, and then sort the
current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length.
