Connecting to a Server When Horizon Client Starts
The Always connect at launch seing is enabled by default for the rst server that you connect to with
Horizon Client. When this seing is enabled for a server, Horizon Client always connects to that server
when you start Horizon Client.
To disable this behavior for a server, select the server shortcut on the Horizon Client Home window, press
Control-click on the Apple keyboard, and deselect the Always connect at launch seing. If you have other
server shortcuts on your Horizon Client Home window, you can enable the Always connect at launch
seing for a dierent server.
You can enable the Always connect at launch seing for only one server at a time.
Configure Horizon Client to Forget the Server User Name and Domain
By default, Horizon Client stores the user name and domain that you enter when you log in to a server to
connect to a remote desktop or application. For increased security, you can congure Horizon Client to
never remember the server user name and domain.
