Preparing Connection Server for Horizon Client
Administrators must perform specic 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 congure certain pool seings and security seings:

If you plan to use Access Point, congure Connection Server to work with Access Point. See Deploying
and Conguring Access Point. Access Point appliances fulll the same role that was previously played by
only security servers.

If you are using a security server, verify that you are using Horizon 7 version 7 or a later release of
Connection Server. For more information, see the View Installation document.

authentication in the View Administration document.
