What to do next
You can use the AirWatch console to edit the Horizon Client application and push those changes to mobile
devices. For example, you can add a default Connection Server instance to the server list for the
Horizon Client application.
Configuring a List of Servers and a Default Server for Chromebooks
You can congure a list of Connection Server instances and a default Connection Server instance for
Horizon Client for Android on enrolled Chromebooks.
When you congure a list of servers, the servers appear as shortcuts in Horizon Client. If you congure a
default server, Horizon Client automatically connects to that server.
To congure a list of servers or a default server, you must create a JSON conguration le. A Chrome
administrator must use the Google Admin console to upload the JSON conguration le for the
Horizon Client for Android app. For detailed information about using the Google Admin console, see the G
Suite Administrator Help.
For example, the following JSON conguration le species a list of servers. The server property species
the IP address or host name of the server, the username and domain properties specify the name and domain
of a user that is entitled to use the server, and the description property species a description of the server.
The username, domain, and description properties are optional.

}, {

\"domain\": \"TestDomain4\"
}]}
}"
}
The following example shows how to use the default property to specify a default server. Valid values are
true and false.
