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.
Prerequisites
Obtain the following information from your system administrator:
n
Instructions for whether to turn on a VPN (virtual private network) connection.
n
Server name to use for connecting to the server.
n
Port number to use for connecting to the server if the port is not 443.
n
An Unauthenticated Access user account to use for logging in anonymously.
If your system administrator instructs you to congure the certicate checking mode, see “Seing the
Certicate Checking Mode in Horizon Client,” on page 9.
Procedure
1 If a VPN connection is required, turn on the VPN.
2 On the Android device, tap the Horizon app icon.
3 Tap the  (gear) icon in the upper-right corner of the Horizon Client window, tap
Unauthenticated access, and select the Unauthenticated access check box.

Connections between Horizon Client and servers always use SSL. The default port for SSL connections
is 443. If the server is not congured to use the default port, use the format shown in this example:
view.company.com:1443.
5 When the login window appears, select a user account from the User account drop-down menu, if
required.
If only one user account is available, the user account is automatically selected.
6 (Optional) Select the Always use this account check box to bypass the login window the next time you
connect to the server.
To deselect this seing before you connect to the server the next time, touch and hold the server
shortcut until the context menu appears, tap Edit, tap Forget the saved Unauthenticated Access
account (name), and tap Done.
7 Tap Connect to log in to the server.
The application selection window appears.
8 Tap an application icon to start the application.
After you connect to a remote application for the rst time, a shortcut for the application is saved to the

the server icon.
