Using FreeRDP for RDP Connections
If you plan to use RDP rather than VMware Blast or PCoIP for connections to View desktops, you can
choose between using an rdesktop client or xfreerdp, the open-source implementation of the Remote
Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license.
Because the rdesktop program is no longer being actively developed, Horizon Client can also run the
xfreerdp executable if your Linux machine has the required version and patches for FreeRDP.
I If you plan to connect to remote desktops or applications on a Microsoft RDS host, if that host
is congured with the Per Device mode of licensing, you must use xfreerdp or else change the licensing
mode to Per User mode. The reason is that Per Device licensing mode requires the RDP client to provide a
client ID, and rdesktop does not provide that ID, whereas xfreerdp does.
You must have the correct version of FreeRDP installed, along with any applicable patches. For more
information, see “Install and Congure FreeRDP,” on page 43.
