You enter credentials into Horizon Client , the server authenticates your credentials, and then the server finds the remote desktops and published applications that you are entitled to use.

A certificate is a digital form of identification, similar to a passport or a driver's license. Server certificate checking occurs for connections between Horizon Client and a server. If you are unable to change modes, check with the administrator who may have disabled this feature for Horizon Client .
