Table 3‑5. Horizon Client Configuration Template: Security Settings (Continued)
Setting Computer User Description
Default value of the
'Log in as current
user' checkbox
X X Species the default value of Log in as current user in the
Options menu on the Horizon Client menu bar.
This seing overrides the default value specied during
Horizon Client installation.
If a user runs Horizon Client from the command line and
species the logInAsCurrentUser option, that value
overrides this seing.
When Log in as current user is selected in the Options menu,
the identity and credential information that the user provided
when logging in to the client system is passed to the
Connection Server instance and ultimately to the remote
desktop or application. When Log in as current user is
deselected, users must provide identity and credential
information multiple times before they can access a remote
desktop or application.
This seing is disabled by default.
The equivalent Windows Registry value is
LogInAsCurrentUser.
Display option to Log
in as current user
X X Determines whether Log in as current user is visible in the
Options menu on the Horizon Client menu bar.
When Log in as current user is visible, users can select or
deselect it and override its default value. When Log in as
current user is hidden, users cannot override its default value
from the Horizon Client Options menu.
You can specify the default value for Log in as current user by
using the policy seing Default value of the 'Log in
as current user' checkbox.
This seing is enabled by default.
The equivalent Windows Registry value is
LogInAsCurrentUser_Display.
Enable jump list
integration
X Determines whether a jump list appears in the Horizon Client
icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 and later systems. The jump
list lets users connect to recent Connection Server instances
and remote desktops.
If Horizon Client is shared, you might not want users to see
the names of recent desktops. You can disable the jump list by
disabling this seing.
This seing is enabled by default.
The equivalent Windows Registry value is EnableJumplist.
Enable SSL encrypted
framework channel
X X Determines whether SSL is enabled for View 5.0 and earlier
desktops. Before View 5.0, the data sent over port TCP 32111
to the desktop was not encrypted.
n
Enable: Enables SSL, but allows fallback to the previous
unencrypted connection if the remote desktop does not
have SSL support. For example, View 5.0 and earlier
desktops do not have SSL support. Enable is the default
seing.
n
Disable: Disables SSL. This seing is not recommended
but might be useful for debugging or if the channel is not
being tunneled and could potentially then be optimized
by a WAN accelerator product.
n
Enforce: Enables SSL, and refuses to connect to desktops
with no SSL support .
The equivalent Windows Registry value is
EnableTicketSSLAuth.
