Configure the VMware Horizon Web Portal Page for End Users
You can congure this Web page to show or hide the icon for downloading Horizon Client or the icon for
connecting to a remote desktop through HTML Access. You can also congure other links on this page.
By default, the web portal page shows both an icon for downloading and installing the native
Horizon Client, and an icon for connecting through HTML Access. The download link used is determined
from the default values dened in the portal-links-html-access.properties le.
In some cases, however, you might want to have the links to point to an internal Web server, or you might
want to make specic client versions available on your own server. You can recongure the portal page to
point to a dierent download URL by modifying the contents of the portal-links-html-access.properties
le. If that le is unavailable or is empty, and the oslinks.properties le exists, the oslinks.properties le
is used to determine the link value for the installer le.
The oslinks.properties le is installed in the installation-directory\VMware\VMware
View\Server\broker\webapps\portal\WEB-INF folder. If this le is missing during the HTML Access session,
the download link will direct users to https://www.vmware.com/go/viewclients by default. The le contains
the following default values:
link.download=https://www.vmware.com/go/viewclients
# download Links for particular platforms
