Installation and Setup Guide

What to do next
Verify that you can see the shared folders from within the remote desktop or application:
n
From within a Windows remote desktop, open File Explorer and look in the This PC folder, or open
Windows Explorer and look in the Computer folder, depending on the Windows operating system
version.
n
From within a remote application, if applicable, select File > Open or File > Save As and navigate to the
folder or drive.
The folders and drives that you selected for sharing might use one or more of the following naming
conventions:
n
name on MACHINE-NAME. For example, jsmith on JSMITH-W03.
n
N on MACHINE-NAME. For example, Z on JSMITH-W03.
n
name (N:). For example, jsmith (Z:).
A redirected folder can have two entrances, such as Z on JSMITH-W03 and jsmith (Z:), and both entrances
can appear at the same time. If all the volume labels (from A: through Z:) are already in use, the redirected
folder has only one entrance, such as Z on JSMITH-W03.
Share Folders by Editing a Configuration File
In addition to sharing folders through the Seings dialog box, you can also share folders by editing a
conguration le.
Procedure
1 Create a conguration le named config if it does not exist in any of the following locations:
n
$HOME/.vmware/
n
/usr/lib/vmware/
n
/etc/vmware/
2 Add the following line for each folder that you want to share:
tsdr.share=Folder Path
For example, to share folders / and /home/user1, create the le /etc/vmware/config and add the
following lines:
tsdr.share=/
tsdr.share=/home/user1
Folders that are shared in a conguration le are not listed in the Sharing pane of the Seings dialog. You
can edit the conguration le to stop sharing folders or share additional folders.
Setting the Certificate Checking Mode in Horizon Client
You can determine whether client connections are rejected if any or some server certicate checks fail by
conguring a seing in Horizon Client.
You can congure the default certicate verication mode and prevent end users from changing it in
Horizon Client. For more information, see “Conguring Certicate Checking for End Users,” on page 43.
Certicate checking occurs for SSL connections between the server and Horizon Client. Certicate
verication includes the following checks:
n
Is the certicate intended for a purpose other than verifying the identity of the sender and encrypting
server communications? That is, is it the correct type of certicate?
