Use Unauthenticated Access to Connect to Remote Applications
A Horizon administrator can use the Unauthenticated Access feature to create Unauthenticated Access users
and entitle those users to remote applications on a Connection Server instance. Unauthenticated Access
users can log in to the server anonymously to connect to their remote applications.
Prerequisites
n
Perform the administrative tasks described in “Preparing Connection Server for Horizon Client,” on
page 13.
n
Set up Unauthenticated Access users on the Connection Server instance. For information, see
"Providing Unauthenticated Access for Published Applications" in the View Administration document.
n
Congure the certicate checking mode for the SSL certicate presented by Connection Server. See
“Seing the Certicate Checking Mode for Horizon Client,” on page 31.
n
If you are accessing remote applications outside of the corporate network, verify that your client device
is set up to use a VPN connection and turn on that connection.
Procedure
1 If a VPN connection is required, turn on the VPN.
2 On your Android device, tap the Horizon app icon.
3 Tap the  (gear) icon in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client window, tap
Unauthenticated access, and select the Unauthenticated access check box.
4 Connect to the server on which you have unauthenticated access to remote applications.
Option Description
Connect to a new server
Enter the name of a server, enter a description (optional), and tap Connect.
Connect to an existing server
Tap the server shortcut on the Servers tab.
Connections between Horizon Client and servers always use SSL. The default port for SSL connections
is 443. If the server is not congured to use the default port, use the format shown in this example:
view.company.com:1443.
5 When the login window appears, select a user account from the User account drop-down menu, if
required.
If only one user account is available, the user account is automatically selected.
6 (Optional) Select the Always use this account check box to bypass the login window the next time you
connect to the server.
To deselect this seing before you connect to the server the next time, touch and hold the server
shortcut until the context menu appears, tap Edit, tap Forget the saved Unauthenticated Access
account (name), and tap Done.
7 Tap Connect to log in to the server.
The application selection window appears.
8 Tap an application icon to start the application.
After you connect to a remote application for the rst time, a shortcut for the application is saved to the
Recent tab. The next time you want to connect to the application, you can tap the shortcut instead of tapping
the server icon.
