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.
Important If end users have a high-resolution display and will use the High Resolution Mode client
setting while viewing their remote desktops in full screen mode, you must allocate sufficient VRAM for
each Windows 7 or later remote desktop. The amount of vRAM depends on the number of monitors
configured for end users and on the display resolution. To estimate the amount of vRAM you need,
see the View Architecture Planning document.
User Authentication
n
To use two-factor authentication with Horizon Client, such as RSA SecurID or RADIUS authentication,
you must enable this feature in the Connection Server instance. For more information, see the topics
about two-factor authentication in the View Administration document.
n
To hide security information in Horizon Client, including server URL information and the Domain
drop-down menu, enable the Hide server information in client user interface and Hide domain
list in client user interface settings in Horizon Administrator. These global settings are available in
Horizon 7 version 7.1 and later. For information about configuring global settings, see the View
Administration document.
To authenticate when the Domain drop-down menu is hidden, users must provide domain information
by entering their user name in the format domain\username or username@domain in the User name
text box.
Important If you enable the Hide server information in client user interface and Hide domain
list in client user interface settings and select two-factor authentication (RSA SecureID or RADIUS)
for the Connection Server instance, do not enforce Windows user name matching. Enforcing
Windows user name matching will prevent users from being able to enter domain information in the
user name text box and login will always fail. For more information, see the topics about two-factor
authentication in the View Administration document.
n
To enable end users to save their passwords with Horizon Client, so that they do not always need to
supply credentials when they connect to a Connection Server instance, configure Horizon LDAP for
this feature in the Connection Server instance.
Users can save their passwords if Horizon LDAP is configured to allow it, if the Horizon Client
certificate verification mode is set to Warn before connecting to untrusted servers or Never
connect to untrusted servers, and if Horizon Client can fully verify the server certificate that
Connection Server presents. For more information, see the View Administration document.
