User manual

If your environment uses an Access Point appliance rather than a security server for secure external access,
you must congure the Access Point appliance to support the smart card user name hints feature. The smart
card user name hints feature is supported only with Access Point 2.7.2 and later. For information about
enabling the smart card user name hints feature in Access Point, see the Deploying and Conguring Access
Point document.
N Horizon Client still supports single-account smart card certicates when the smart card user name
hints feature is enabled.
Requirements for URL Content Redirection
With the URL Content Redirection feature, you can have URL content redirected from a remote desktop or
application (the agent) to your Mac system (the client). For example, you can enter a URL or click a link in
Internet Explorer on a remote desktop and have a browser on your client display the content.
Horizon Agent sends the URL to Horizon Client, which opens the default application for the protocol that is
specied in the URL. Any number of protocols, including HTTP, mailto, and callto, can be congured for
URL redirection.
The URL Content Redirection feature has the following requirements:
Remote desktop or RDS
host that provides
remote applications
n
Horizon Agent 7.0.0 or later with the URL Content Redirection feature
enabled must be installed.
n
A Horizon administrator must congure group policy seings that
specify how Horizon Agent redirects URL content.
n
The supported browsers in which you can type or click a URL and have
the URL redirected to the client system are Internet Explorer 9, 10, and

For more information about URL Content Redirection, including limitations and group policy seings, see
"Conguring URL Content Redirection" in the Seing Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
N URL Content Redirection is a Tech Preview feature in Horizon Client for Mac and it supports only
agent-to-client redirection. Horizon Client for Windows 4.0 and later supports both agent-to-client and
client-to-agent redirection.
Supported Desktop Operating Systems
Administrators create virtual machines with a guest operating system and install agent software in the guest
operating system. End users can log in to these virtual machines from a client device.
For a list of the supported Windows guest operating systems, see the "Supported Operating Systems for
View Agent" topic in the View 5.x or 6.x installation documentation. See the "Supported Operating Systems
for Horizon Agent" topic in the Horizon 7 installation documentation.
Some Linux guest operating systems are also supported if you have View Agent 6.1.1 or later, or
Horizon Agent 7.0 or later. For information about system requirements, conguring Linux virtual machines
for use in Horizon 6 or Horizon 7, and a list of supported features, see Seing Up Horizon 6 for Linux
Desktops, which is part of the Horizon 6, version 6.1 documentation, or see Seing Up Horizon 7 for Linux
Desktops.
