Security-related server settings for user authentication are accessible under View Configuration > Servers in Horizon Administrator. These security settings determine how Horizon Client can log in to the Connection Server.

  • To allow the Connection Server instance to accept the user identity and credential information that is passed when users select Log in as current user in the Options menu in Horizon Client, enable the Accept logon as current user setting for the Connection Server instance. This setting is available in Horizon 7 version 7.8 and later for Horizon Client for Windows. For more information, see the Horizon 7 Administration document.
  • To hide the server URL in Horizon Client, enable the Hide server information in client user interface global setting. This setting is available in Horizon 7 version 7.1 and later. For more information, see the Horizon 7 Administration document.
  • To hide the Domain drop-down menu in Horizon Client, enable the Hide domain list in client user interface global setting. This setting is available in Horizon 7 version 7.1 and later. Beginning with Horizon 7 version 7.8, it is enabled by default. For more information, see the Horizon 7 Administration document.
  • To send the domain list to Horizon Client, enable the Send domain list global setting in Horizon Administrator. This setting is available in Horizon 7 verison 7.8 and later and is disabled by default. Earlier Horizon 7 versions send the domain list. For more information, see the Horizon 7 Administration document.
Note: Not all settings are applicable to all Horizon Clients. To see user authentication settings for a particular Horizon Client, see the Horizon Client documentation at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client/index.html.
