Table 16‑3. View Agent Configuration Template Settings (Continued)
Setting Computer User Properties
Connect using DNS Name
X Determines whether View Connection Server uses the
DNS name instead of the IP address of the host when
connecting. This setting is typically enabled in a NAT or
firewall situation when Horizon Client or View
Connection Server cannot use the remote desktop IP
address directly.
This setting is disabled by default.
ConnectionTicketTimeout
X Specifies the amount of time in seconds that the View
connection ticket is valid.
Horizon Client devices use a connection ticket for
verification and single sign-on when connecting to View
Agent. For security reasons, a connection ticket is valid
for a limited amount of time. When a user connects to a
View desktop, authentication must take place within the
connection ticket timeout period or the session times out.
If this setting is not configured, the default timeout
period is 900 seconds.
CredentialFilterExceptions
X Specifies the executable files that are not allowed to load
the agent CredentialFilter. Filenames must not include a
path or suffix. Use a semicolon to separate multiple
filenames.
Disable Time Zone
Synchronization
X X Determines whether the time zone of the View desktop is
synchronized with the time zone of the connected client.
An enabled setting applies only if the Disable time
zone forwarding setting of the Horizon Client
Configuration policy is not set to disabled.
This setting is disabled by default.
Enable multi-media
acceleration
X Determines whether multimedia redirection (MMR) is
enabled on the View desktop.
MMR is a Microsoft DirectShow filter that forwards
multimedia data from specific codecs on the remote
system directly through a TCP socket to the client. The
data is then decoded directly on the client, where it is
played. You can disable MMR if the client has insufficient
resources to handle local multimedia decoding.
MMR does not work correctly if the Horizon Client video
display hardware does not have overlay support.
This setting is enabled by default.
Enable system tray
redirection for Hosted Apps
X Determines whether system tray redirection is enabled
while a user is running remote applications.
This setting is located in the VMware View Agent
Configuration > Unity Touch and Hosted Apps folder in
the Group Policy Management Editor.
This setting is enabled by default.
Enable Unity Touch
X Determines whether the Unity Touch functionality is
enabled on the View desktop. Unity Touch supports the
delivery of remote applications in View and allows
mobile device users to access applications in the Unity
Touch sidebar.
This setting is located in the VMware View Agent
Configuration > Unity Touch and Hosted Apps folder in
the Group Policy Management Editor.
This setting is enabled by default.
