Managing Remote Desktop and
Application Connections 3
End users can use Horizon Client to connect to a server, edit the list of servers they connect to, log in to or
o of remote desktops, and use remote applications. For troubleshooting purposes, end users can also reset
remote desktops and applications.
Depending on how you congure policies for remote desktops, end users might be able to perform many
operations on their desktops.

Setting the Certificate Checking Mode in Horizon Client
You can determine whether client connections are rejected if any or some server certicate checks fail by
conguring a seing in Horizon Client.
Certicate checking occurs for SSL connections between the server and Horizon Client. Certicate
verication includes the following checks:
n
Is the certicate intended for a purpose other than verifying the identity of the sender and encrypting
server communications? That is, is it the correct type of certicate?
n
Has the certicate expired, or is it valid only in the future? That is, is the certicate valid according to
the computer clock?
