Configure Advanced TLS/SSL Options
You can select the security protocols and cryptographic algorithms that are used to encrypt communications
between Horizon Client and Horizon servers and between Horizon Client and the agent in the remote
desktop.
By default, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2 are enabled. SSL v2.0 and 3.0 are not supported. The default
cipher control string is "!aNULL:kECDH+AESGCM:ECDH+AESGCM:RSA+AESGCM:kECDH+AES:ECDH
+AES:RSA+AES".
If you congure a security protocol for Horizon Client that is not enabled on the Horizon server to which the
client connects, a TLS/SSL error occurs and the connection fails.
For information about conguring the security protocols that are accepted by Connection Server instances,
see the View Security document.

Configure VMware Blast Options
You can congure H.264 decoding and network condition options for remote desktop and application
sessions that use the VMware Blast display protocol.
You can congure H.264 decoding before or after you connect to a server.
You can change the network condition to any type before you connect to a server. After you connect to a
server, you can switch the network condition between Typical and Excellent (you cannot select Poor), but
only if Typical or Excellent was selected before you connected to the server. You cannot change the network
condition after you connect to a server if Poor was selected before you connected.
After you connect to a server, the VMware Blast seing is visible only if VMware Blast is the preferred
protocol.
Prerequisites
To use this feature, Horizon Agent 7.0 or later must be installed.
