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.
Before you have end users access a remote application with the Unauthenticated User feature, test that you
can connect to the remote application from a client device. You might need to specify a server and supply
credentials for your user account.
