Clicking URL Links That Open Outside of Horizon Client
An administrator can congure URL links that you click inside a remote desktop or application to open in
the default browser on your client system. A link might be to a Web page, a phone number, an email
address, or other type of link. This feature is called URL Content Redirection.
An administrator can also congure URL links that you click inside a browser or application on your client
system to open in a remote desktop or application. In this scenario, if Horizon Client is not already open, it
starts and prompts you to log in.
An administrator might set up the URL Content Redirection feature for security purposes. For example, if
you are inside your company network and click a link that points to a URL that is outside the network, the
link might be more safely opened in a remote application. An administrator can congure which application
opens the link.
The rst time you start Horizon Client and connect to a server on which the URL Content Redirection
feature is congured, Horizon Client prompts you to open the VMware Horizon URL Filter application
when you click a link for redirection. Click Open to allow URL content redirection.
Depending on how the URL Content Redirection feature is congured, Horizon Client might display an
alert message that asks you to change your default Web browser to VMware Horizon URL Filter. If you see
this prompt, click the Use "VMware Horizon URL Filter" buon to allow VMware Horizon URL Filter to
become the default browser. This prompt appears only once unless you change your default browser after
clicking Use "VMware Horizon URL Filter".
Horizon Client might also display an alert message that asks you to select an application when you click a
URL. If you see this prompt, you can click Choose Application to search for an application on your client
system, or click Search App Store to search for and install a new application. If you click Cancel, the URL is
not opened.
Each company congures its own URL redirection policies. If you have questions about how the URL
Content Redirection feature behaves at your company, contact a system administrator.
Open a Recent Remote Desktop or Application
You can open recent remote desktops and applications in Horizon Client.
Recent remote desktops and applications appear in the order in which they were opened. If you are not
already connected to the server when you open a recent remote desktop or application, the server login
screen appears and you must provide your credentials.
