Horizon Administrator and Horizon Connection Server

Horizon Administrator provides a Web-based management interface for Horizon 7.

Horizon Connection Server can have multiple instances that serve as replica servers or security servers. Depending on your Horizon 7 deployment, you can get a Horizon Administrator interface with each instance of a Connection Server.

Use the following best practices to use Horizon Administrator with a Connection Server:

• Use the host name and IP address of the Connection Server to log in to Horizon Administrator. Use the Horizon Administrator interface to manage the Connection Server, and any associated security server or replica server.
• In a pod environment, verify that all administrators use the host name and IP address of the same Connection Server to log in to Horizon Administrator. Do not use the host name and IP address of the load balancer to access a Horizon Administrator web page.
• To identify the CPA pod or cluster name of the Connection Server you are working with, you can view the name in the Horizon Administrator header and in the Web browser tab.

Note: If you use Unified Access Gateway appliances rather than security servers, you must use the Unified Access Gateway REST API to manage the Unified Access Gateway appliances. Earlier versions of Unified Access Gateway are named Access Point. For more information, see Deploying and Configuring Unified Access Gateway.
