Configure Horizon Client to Select a Smart Card
Certificate
You can configure Horizon Client to select a local certificate or the certificate on a smart card when you
authenticate to a server by setting a preference. If this preference is not set (the default), you must
manually select a certificate.
Prerequisites
For this setting to take effect, smart card authentication must be configured on the server and only one
certificate must be available on your client system or smart card. If you have multiple certificates,
Horizon Client always prompts you to select a certificate, regardless of how this preference is set.
Procedure
1 Before you connect to a server, select VMware Horizon Client > Preferences from the menu bar.
2 Click General in the Preferences dialog box.
3 Select Automatically select certificate.
4 Close the Preferences dialog box.
Your changes take effect when the dialog box is closed.
Connect to a Remote Desktop or Application
To connect a remote desktop or application, you must provide the name of a server and supply
credentials for your user account.
Before you have end users access remote desktops and applications, test that you can connect to a
remote desktop or application from the client system.
Prerequisites
n
Obtain login credentials, such as a user name and password, RSA SecurID user name and
passcode, RADIUS authentication user name and passcode, or smart card personal identification
number (PIN).
n
Obtain the NETBIOS domain name for logging in. For example, you might use mycompany rather than
mycompany.com.
n
Perform the administrative tasks described in Preparing Connection Server for Horizon Client.
n
If you are outside the corporate network and require a VPN connection to access remote desktops
and applications, verify that the client device is set up to use a VPN connection and turn on that
connection.
