disconnect by tapping the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon and tapping the Disconnect icon. If you
are not using full-screen mode, Disconnect is in the menu in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client
toolbar.
On a thin client, when you are connected to a remote desktop or application, you disconnect by clicking the
Disconnect icon in the Unity Touch sidebar or in a pop-up menu, depending on your thin client model. For
more information, see “Using Horizon Client on a Thin Client,” on page 20.

disconnected. In that case, any open programs in the remote desktop are stopped.
Log Off From a Remote Desktop
You can log o from a remote desktop operating system, even if you do not have a desktop open in
Horizon Client. If you are currently connected to and logged in to a remote desktop, you can use the
Windows Start menu to log o. After Windows logs you o, the desktop is disconnected.

SecurID user name and passcode, or RADIUS authentication user name and passcode.
