10 Tap a desktop or application to connect to it.
If you are connecting to a published desktop, and if the desktop is already set to use the Microsoft
RDP display protocol, you cannot connect immediately. You are prompted to have the system log you
off the remote operating system so that a connection can be made with the PCoIP display protocol or
the VMware Blast display protocol.
The remote desktop or application starts.
If you are using Horizon Client on a Chromebook or an Android device in DeX desktop mode, the remote
desktop or application starts in a new window instead of in the original window. The desktop and
application selector window also remains open, so that you can connect to multiple items at the same
time. When you open a new application, Horizon Client opens all previous application sessions.
Horizon Client does not open previous application sessions when you open a remote desktop session.
You can have a maximum of four sessions at the same time.
After you connect to a desktop or application for the first time, a shortcut for the desktop or application is
saved to the Recent tab. The next time you want to connect to the remote desktop or application, you can
tap the shortcut instead of tapping the server icon.
Use Unauthenticated Access to Connect to Remote
Applications
A Horizon administrator can use the Unauthenticated Access feature to create Unauthenticated Access
users and entitle those users to remote applications on a Connection Server instance. Unauthenticated
Access users can log in to the server anonymously to connect to their remote applications.
