Preparing Connection Server for Horizon Client
A Horizon administrator must perform specific tasks to enable end users to connect to remote desktops
and applications.
Before end users can connect to a server and access a remote desktop or published application, a
Horizon administrator must configure certain pool settings and security settings.
Unified Access Gateway and Security Servers
n
If you plan to use Unified Access Gateway, configure Connection Server to work with
Unified Access Gateway. See the Deploying and Configuring Unified Access Gateway document.
Unified Access Gateway appliances fulfill the same role that was previously played by only security
servers.
n
If you are using a security server, verify that you are using the latest maintenance releases of
Connection Server 6.x and Security Server 6.x or later releases. For more information, see the View
Installation document.
Secure Tunnel Connection
n
If you plan to use a secure tunnel connection for client devices, and if the secure connection is
configured with a DNS host name for Connection Server instance or a security server, verify that the
client device can resolve this DNS name.
To enable or disable the secure tunnel, in Horizon Administrator, go to the Edit Horizon Connection
Server Settings dialog box and select or deselect the Use secure tunnel connection to desktop
check box.
Desktop and Application Pools
n
Verify that a desktop or application pool has been created and that the user account that you plan to
use is entitled to access the pool. For information, see the Setting Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 or
Setting Up Published Desktops and Applications in Horizon 7 document.
n
Verify that the desktop or application pool is set to use the VMware Blast display protocol or the
PCoIP display protocol. For information, see the Setting Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 and Setting
Up Published Desktops and Applications in Horizon 7 documents.
