Additional Smart Card Authentication Requirements
In addition to meeting the smart card requirements for Horizon Client systems, other Horizon components
must meet certain configuration requirements to support smart cards.
Connection Server and
security server hosts
An administrator must add all applicable Certificate Authority (CA)
certificates for all trusted user certificates to a server truststore file on the
Connection Server host or security server host. These certificates include
root certificates and must include intermediate certificates if the user's
smart card certificate was issued by an intermediate certificate authority.
For information about configuring Connection Server to support smart card
use, see the View Administration document.
Active Directory For information about tasks that an administrator might need to perform in
Active Directory to implement smart card authentication, see the View
Administration document.
