Touch ID Authentication Requirements
To use Touch ID for user authentication in Horizon Client, you must meet certain requirements.
Mac models
Any Mac model that supports Touch ID, for example, MacBook Pro.
Operating system
requirements
Add at least one ngerprint in the Touch ID seing.
Connection Server
requirements
n
Horizon 6 version 6.2 or a later release.
n
Enable biometric authentication in Connection Server. For information,
see the View Administration document.
n
The Connection Server instance must present a valid root-signed
certicate to Horizon Client.
Horizon Client
requirements
n
Set the certicate checking mode to Never connect to untrusted servers
or Warn before connecting to untrusted servers. For information about
seing the certicate checking mode, see “Seing the Certicate
Checking Mode in Horizon Client,” on page 13.
n
Enable Touch ID when you connect to the server. After you successfully
log in, your Active Directory credentials are stored securely on the Mac
client system. The Touch ID option is shown the rst time you log in and
does not appear after Touch ID is enabled.
You can use Touch ID with smart card authentication and as part of two-factor authentication with RSA
SecurID and RADIUS authentication. If you use Touch ID with smart card authentication, Horizon Client
connects to the server after you enter your PIN and the Touch ID login screen does not appear.
Requirements for Using URL Content Redirection
With the URL Content Redirection feature, URL content can be redirected from the client machine to a
remote desktop or application (client-to-agent redirection), or from a remote desktop or application to the
client machine (agent-to-client redirection).
For example, an end user can click a link in the native Microsoft Word application on the client and the link
opens in the remote Internet Explorer application, or an end user can click a link in the remote Internet
Explorer application and the link opens in a native browser on the client machine. Any number of protocols
can be congured for redirection, including HTTP, mailto, and callto.
The supported browsers on the agent machine in which you can type or click a URL and have that URL
redirected are Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11.
N This feature does not work for links clicked from inside Windows 10 universal apps, including the
Microsoft Edge Browser.
To use agent-to-client redirection, a Horizon administrator must enable URL Content Redirection during
Horizon Agent installation. For information, see the Seing Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 or Seing Up
Published Desktops and Applications in Horizon 7 documents.
A Horizon administrator must also congure seings that specify how Horizon Client redirects URL
content from the client system to a remote desktop or application, or how Horizon Agent redirects URL
content from a remote desktop or application to the client machine. For conguration information, see the
Conguring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
