Group Policy Settings for HTML Access
Group policy settings for HTML Access are specified in the template file vdm_blast.adm. This template is for
the VMware Blast display protocol, which is the only display protocol that HTML Access uses.
For HTML Access 4.0 and Horizon 7.0, the VMware Blast group policy settings are described in "VMware
Blast Policy Settings" in the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View document.
If you have HTML Access 3.5 or earlier and Horizon 6.2.x or earlier, the following table describes group
policy settings that apply to HTML Access. Note that starting with Horizon 7.0, more VMware Blast group
policy settings are available.
