Autoconnect to a Remote Desktop
You can configure a server to automatically open a remote desktop when you connect to the server.
If you are entitled to only one remote desktop on a server, Horizon Client opens that desktop when you
connect to the server.
Note You cannot configure a server to automatically open a remote application.
Prerequisites
Obtain credentials to connect to the server, 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).
Procedure
1 On the Horizon Client Home window, double-click the server icon.
2 If prompted, supply your credentials.
3 Click the Settings button (gear icon) in the upper right corner of the desktop and application selection
window.
4 Select a desktop pool in the left pane of the Settings dialog box.
5 Select Autoconnect to this desktop.
6 Close the Settings dialog box to save your changes.
The next time you connect to the server, Horizon Client automatically opens the remote desktop.
Configure Reconnect Behavior for Remote Applications
If a user disconnects from a server without closing a remote application, Horizon Client prompts the user
to reopen that application the next time the user connects to the server. You can change this behavior by
modifying the Reconnect Behavior setting in Horizon Client.
Prerequisites
Obtain the credentials that you need to connect to the server, such as a user name and password or RSA
SecurID user name and passcode.
Procedure
1 On the Horizon Client Home window, double-click the server icon.
2 If prompted, supply your credentials.
3 Click the Settings button (gear icon) in the upper right corner of the desktop and application selection
window.
4 Select Applications in the left pane of the Settings dialog box.
