n
Instructions about whether to turn on a VPN (virtual private network) connection.
n
Server name to use for connecting to the server.
n
If the port is not 443, the port number to use for connecting to the server.

and passcode, RADIUS authentication user name and passcode, or smart card personal identication
number (PIN).
n
Domain name for logging in.
n
Instructions about whether you can use Touch ID authentication.
If your system administrator sent you an email that contains a URL to use for seing up an RSA SecurID
software token on your client device, open that email and verify that you also have the activation code or
that the activation code appears at the end of the URL.
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 iOS device, tap the Horizon app icon.

Option Action
Connect to a new server
Enter the name of a server, enter a description (optional), and tap Add

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.
4 If a smart card is required or optional, select the smart card certicate to use and enter your PIN.
If your smart card has only one certicate, that certicate is already selected. If there are many
certicates, you can scroll through the certicates.
