User manual

To use this feature, you must set up your Web page and your client devices. Client systems must meet
certain software requirements:
n
This feature is supported for PCoIP only. This feature is not supported on ARM processors.
n
Client systems must have IP connectivity to the Adobe Web server that hosts the ShockWave File (SWF)
that initiates the multicast or unicast streaming. If needed, congure your rewall to open the
appropriate ports to allow client devices to access this server.
n
Client systems must have the appropriate Flash plug-in installed.
a Install the libexpat.so.1 le, or verify that this le is already installed.
Ensure that the le is installed in the /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib directory.
b Install the libflashplayer.so le, or verify that this le is already installed.
Ensure that the le is installed in the appropriate Flash plug-in directory for your Linux operating
system.
c Install the wget program, or verify that the program le is already installed.
n
libffi.so.5 is required on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 distributions to make Flash URL redirection work,
but Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 distributions only have libffi.so.6 by default. You can work around this
limitation by making a symbolic link between libffi.so.6 and libffi.so.5.
For a list of the remote desktop requirements for Flash URL redirection, and for instructions about how to
congure a Web page to provide a multicast or unicast stream, see the Horizon documentation.
Smart Card Authentication Requirements
Client systems that use a smart card for user authentication must meet certain requirements.
Each client system that uses a smart card for user authentication must have the following software and
hardware:
n
Horizon Client
n
A compatible smart card reader
n
Product-specic application drivers
You must also install product-specic application drivers on the remote desktops or Microsoft RDS host.
Users that authenticate with smart cards must have a smart card, and each smart card must contain a user
certicate.
In addition to meeting these requirements for Horizon Client systems, other Horizon 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 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 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.
