Installation and Setup Guide

n
To use two-factor authentication with Horizon Client, such as RSA SecurID or RADIUS authentication,
you must enable this feature on Connection Server. For more information, see the topics about two-
factor authentication in the View Administration document.
n
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 enable end users to save their passwords with Horizon Client, so that they do not always need to
supply credentials when connecting to a Connection Server instance, congure Horizon LDAP for this
feature on the Connection Server host.
Users can save their passwords if Horizon LDAP is congured to allow it, if the Horizon Client
certicate verication mode is set to Warn before connecting to untrusted servers or Never connect to
untrusted servers, and if Horizon Client can fully verify the server certicate that Connection Server
presents. For instructions, see the View Administration document.
n
Verify that the desktop or application pool is set to use the VMware Blast display protocol or the PCoIP
display protocol. For information, see the Seing Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 and Seing Up
Published Desktops and Applications in Horizon 7 documents.
n
To provide end 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.
