Use Unauthenticated Access to Connect to Remote Applications
A Horizon administrator can use the Unauthenticated Access feature to create Unauthenticated Access users
and entitle those users to remote applications on a Connection Server instance. Unauthenticated Access
users can log in to the server anonymously to connect to their remote applications.
Prerequisites
n
Perform the administrative tasks described in “Preparing Connection Server and Security Servers for
HTML Access,” on page 9.
n
Set up Unauthenticated Access users on the Connection Server instance. For information, see
"Providing Unauthenticated Access for Published Applications" in the View Administration document.
Procedure
1 Open a browser. Use one of the following URI syntaxes to connect to the Connection Server instance on
which you have unauthenticated access to remote applications.
n
hps://authority-part?unathenticatedAccessEnabled=true
n
hps://authority-part?
unathenticatedAccessEnabled=true&unauthenticatedAccessAccount=anonymous_account
In the above URI syntaxes, the authority-part species the server address and, optionally, a non-default
port number. Server names must conform to a DNS syntax. To specify a port number, use the following
syntax: server-address:port-number . The anonymous_account is the Unauthenticated Access user account
created for logging in anonymously.
Connections to Connection Server always use SSL. The default port for SSL connections is 443. If
Connection Server is not congured to use the default port, use the format shown in this example:
horizon.company.com:1443.

(Optional) If you did not specify the unauthenticatedAccessAccount query, select an
Unauthenticated Access user account from the User account drop-down menu, if necessary, and click
Submit.
If only one Unauthenticated Access user account is available, the user account is selected by default.
The application selection window appears.
3 Click the icon for the remote application that you want to access.
The remote application is displayed in your browser. A navigation sidebar is also available. You can
click the tab at the left side of the browser to display the sidebar. You can use the sidebar to access other
remote applications, display the Seings window, copy and paste text, and more.
N You cannot reconnect to unauthenticated application sessions. When you disconnect from the
client, the RDS host logs o the local user session automatically.
