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
Obtain the following information from your Horizon administrator:
n
Server name to use for connecting to the server.
n
An Unauthenticated Access user account to use for logging in anonymously.
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?unauthenticatedAccessEnabled=true
n
hps://authority-part?
unauthenticatedAccessEnabled=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.
2
(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.
