- Troubleshooting Horizon Client
The next time you connect to a remote desktop or application, Horizon Client uses the display protocol
that you selected. You cannot change the display protocol for a currently connected session.
If you connect to a remote desktop or application that does not support the display protocol that you
selected, Horizon Client displays an error message.
Connect to a Remote Desktop or Application
To connect to a remote desktop or application, you must provide the name of a server and supply
credentials for your user account.
Before you have end users access their remote desktops and applications, test that you can connect to a
remote desktop or application from a client device. You might need to specify a server and supply
credentials for your user account.
Prerequisites
n
Obtain login credentials, such as an Active Directory user name and password, RSA SecurID user
name and passcode, or RADIUS authentication user name and passcode.
n
Obtain the NETBIOS domain name for logging in. For example, you might use mycompany rather than
mycompany.com.
n
Perform the administrative tasks described in Preparing Connection Server for Horizon Client.
n
If you are outside the corporate network and require a VPN connection to access remote desktops
and applications, verify that the client device is set up to use a VPN connection and turn on that
connection.
n
Verify that you have the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server that provides access to the
remote desktop or application. Underscores (_) are not supported in server names. If the port is not
443, you also need the port number.
n
Configure the certificate checking mode for the SSL certificate presented by the server. See Setting
the Certificate Checking Mode in Horizon Client.
n
If you plan to use Windows Hello to authenticate, verify that Windows Hello is set up on the Windows
10 device. For complete requirements, see Windows Hello Authentication Requirements.
Procedure
1 If a VPN connection is required, turn on the VPN.
2 Tap the VMware Horizon Client app.
