Creating a JSON Configuration File
A Chrome administrator must specify the default Connection Server URL in a JSON conguration le. For
example, the following JSON conguration le sets the default Connection Server URL to connection-
server.mycompany.com.
{
"Default Server URL":{
"Value":"connection-server.mycompany.com"
}
}
The following URL formats are supported.
Format Example
Domain name only
connection-server.mycompanycom
Domain name and port
connection-server.mycompany.com:443
HTTPS scheme and domain name
https://connection-server.mycompany.com
HTTPS scheme, domain name, and port number
https://connection-server.mycompany.com:443
Creating a Policy to Set the Default Connection Server URL
To set the Connection Server URL for Horizon Client users, a Chrome administrator must create a policy. To
create the policy, the Chrome administrator must sign in to the Google Admin console, select the VMware
Horizon Client Helper extension, select User , and then upload the JSON conguration le that
species the default Connection Server URL.
For detailed information about using the Google Admin console, see the G Suite Administrator Help.
Horizon Client Data Collected by VMware
If your company participates in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects data from
certain Horizon Client elds. Fields containing sensitive information are made anonymous.
VMware collects data on the clients to prioritize hardware and software compatibility. If your company's
administrator has opted to participate in the customer experience improvement program, VMware collects
anonymous data about your deployment in order to improve VMware's response to customer requirements.
No data that identies your organization is collected. Horizon Client information is sent rst to Connection
Server and then on to VMware, along with data from Connection Server instances, desktop pools, and
remote desktops.
The administrator who installs Connection Server can select whether to participate in the VMware customer
experience improvement program while running the Connection Server installation wizard, or an
administrator can set an option in Horizon Administrator after the installation.
