Installation and Setup Guide

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.

To provide end users unauthenticated access to published applications in Horizon Client, you must
enable this feature in the Connection Server instance. For more information, see the topics about
unauthenticated access in the View Administration document.
Clearing the Last User Name Used to Log In to a Server
When end users log in to a Connection Server instance for which the Hide domain list in client user
interface global setting is enabled, the Domain drop-down menu is hidden in Horizon Client and users
provide domain information in the Horizon Client User name text box. For example, users must enter
their user name in the format domain\username or username@domain.
On a Windows client system, a registry key determines whether the last user name is saved and
displayed in the User name text box the next time a user logs in to the server. To prevent the last user
name from being displayed in the User name text box and exposing domain information, you must set
the value of the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\dontdis
playlastusername registry key to 1 on the Windows client system.
For information about hiding security information in Horizon Client, including the Domain drop-down
menu and server URL information, see the topics about global settings in the View Administration
document.
Configure VMware Blast Options
You can configure H.264 decoding and network condition options for remote desktop and application
sessions that use the VMware Blast display protocol.
The maximum resolution that is supported depends on the capability of the graphical processing unit
(GPU) on the client. A GPU that can support 4K resolution for JPEG/PNG might not support 4K resolution
for H.264. If a resolution for H.264 is not supported, Horizon Client uses JPEG/PNG instead.
You cannot change the network condition option after you connect to a server. You can configure H.264
decoding before or after you connect to a server.
Prerequisites
To use this feature, Horizon Agent 7.0 or later must be installed.
