If an administrator later installs a security certicate from a trusted certicate authority, so that all certicate
checks pass when you connect, this trusted connection is remembered for that specic server. In the future,
if that server ever presents a self-signed certicate again, the connection fails. After a particular server
presents a fully veriable certicate, it must always do so.
Share Access to Local Storage
You can congure Horizon Client to share local storage with a remote desktop or application. This feature is
called client drive redirection.
In a Windows remote desktop or remote application, local storage appears as sdcard on HorizonClient in
the Devices and drives section in the This PC folder or in the Other section in the Computer folder.
The rst time you launch Horizon Client, it prompts you to select a folder to use with the client drive
redirection feature. You can change this folder at a later time. See “Change the Folder for Client Drive
Redirection,” on page 18.
Prerequisites

Enable the client drive redirection feature. This task includes installing View Agent 6.1.1 or later, or
Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, and enabling the agent Client Drive Redirection option. It can also include
seing policies or registry seings to control client drive redirection behavior. For more information, see
Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in View.
