User manual

In addition to meeting these requirements for Horizon Client systems, other View components must meet
certain conguration requirements to support smart cards:
n
For information about conguring Connection Server to support smart card use, see "Seing Up Smart
Card Authentication" in the View Administration document.
You must add all applicable Certicate Authority (CA) certicates for all trusted user certicates to a
server truststore le on the Connection Server host or security server host. These certicates include
root certicates and must include intermediate certicates if the user's smart card certicate was issued
by an intermediate certicate authority.
n
For information about tasks you might need to perform in Active Directory to implement smart card
authentication, see "Seing Up Smart Card Authentication" in the View Administration document.
Enabling the Username Hint Field in Horizon Client
In some environments, smart card users can use a single smart card certicate to authenticate to multiple
user accounts. Users enter their user name in the Username hint eld during smart card sign-in.
To make the Username hint eld appear on the Horizon Client login dialog box, you must enable the smart
card user name hints feature for the Connection Server instance in View Administrator. The smart card user
name hints feature is supported only with Horizon 7 version 7.0.2 and later servers and agents. For
information about enabling the smart card user name hints feature, see "Seing Up Smart Card
Authentication" in the View Administration document.
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.
Device Authentication Requirements
You can set up certicate authentication for client devices.
This feature has the following requirements:
n
Access Point 2.6 or later.
n
Horizon 7 version 7.0 or later.
n
A certicate installed on the client device that Access Point will accept.
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.
