Configure the VMware Horizon Web Portal Page for End Users
You can configure 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 configure other links on this page.
By default, the portal page shows both an icon for downloading and installing the native Horizon Client and
an icon for connecting through HTML Access. In some cases, however, you might want to have the links
point to an internal Web server, or you might want to make specific client versions available on your own
server. You can reconfigure the page to point to a different URL.
You can make installer links for specific client operating systems. For example, if you browse to the portal
page from a Mac OS X system, the link for the native Mac OS X installer appears. For Windows clients, you
can make separate links for 32-bit and 64-bit installers.
IMPORTANT If you upgraded from View Connection Server 5.x or an earlier release and did not have the
HTML Access component installed, and if you previously edited the portal page to point to your own server
for downloading Horizon Client, those customizations might be hidden after you install View Connection
Server 6.0 or later. With Horizon 6 or later, the HTML Access component is automatically installed during
an upgrade of View Connection Server.
If you already installed the HTML Access component separately for View 5.x, any customizations you made
to the Web page are preserved. If you did not have the HTML Access component installed, any
customizations you had made are hidden. The customizations for earlier releases reside in the portal-
links.properties file, which is no longer used.
