To hide security information in Horizon Client, including server URL information and the Domain
drop-down menu, enable the Hide server information in client user interface and Hide domain list in
client user interface seings in Horizon Administrator. These global seings are available in Horizon 7
version 7.1 and later. For information about conguring global seings, see the View Administration
document.
To authenticate when the Domain drop-down menu is hidden, users must provide domain information
by entering their user name in the format domain\username or username@domain in the User name text
box.
I If you enable the Hide server information in client user interface and Hide domain list
in client user interface seings and select two-factor authentication (RSA SecureID or RADIUS) for the
Connection Server instance, do not enforce Windows user name matching. Enforcing Windows user
name matching will prevent users from being able to enter domain information in the user name text
box and login will always fail. For more information, see the topics about two-factor authentication in
the View Administration document.
n
To provide users unauthenticated access to published applications in Horizon Client, you must enable
this feature in Connection Server. For more information, see the topics about unauthenticated access in
the View Administration document.
Clearing the Last User Name Used to Log In to a Server
When users log in to a Connection Server instance for which the Hide domain list in client user interface
global seing is enabled, the Domain drop-down menu is hidden in Horizon Client and users provide
domain information in the Horizon Client User name text box. For example, users must enter their user
name in the format domain\username or username@domain.
On a Windows client system, a registry key determines whether the last user name is saved and displayed in
the User name text box the next time a user logs in to the server. To prevent the last user name from being
displayed in the User name text box and exposing domain information, you must set the value of the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\dontdisplaylastusern
ame registry key to 1 on the Windows client system.
For information about hiding security information in Horizon Client, including the Domain drop-down
menu and server URL information, see the topics about global seings in the View Administration document.
Configure VMware Blast Options
You can congure H.264 decoding and network condition options for remote desktop and application
sessions that use the VMware Blast display protocol.
The maximum resolution that is supported depends on the capability of the graphical processing unit (GPU)
on the client. A GPU that can support 4K resolution for JPEG/PNG might not support 4K resolution for H.
264. If a resolution for H.264 is not supported, Horizon Client uses JPEG/PNG instead.
You cannot change the network condition option after you log in to a server. You can congure H.264
decoding before or after you log in to a server.
Prerequisites
This feature requires Horizon Agent 7.0 or later.
