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.
Manage Server Shortcuts
After you connect to a server, Horizon Client creates a server shortcut. You can edit and remove server
shortcuts.
Horizon Client saves the server name or IP address in a shortcut, even if you mistype the server name or
type the wrong IP address. You can delete or change this information by editing the server name or IP
address. If you do not type a server description, the server name or IP address becomes the server
description.
Procedure
1 On the Servers tab, tap and hold the server shortcut until the context menu appears.
2 Use the context menu to delete the server or edit the server name, server description, or user name.
3 If you edited the server shortcut, tap Done to save your changes.
Select a Favorite Remote Desktop or Application
You can select remote desktops and applications as favorites. Favorites are identied by a star. The star helps
you quickly nd your favorite desktops and applications. Your favorite selections are saved, even after you
log o from the server.
Prerequisites
Obtain the credentials you need to connect to the server, such as a user name and password or RSA SecurID
and passcode.
Procedure
1 On the Servers tab, tap the server shortcut.
2 If prompted, supply your RSA user name and passcode, your Active Directory user name and
password, or both.
3 Perform these steps to select or deselect a desktop or application as a favorite.
Option Description

On the All tab, tap and hold the desktop or application name until the
