- HTML Access supports all the desktop operating systems that Horizon Agent supports.
- Pool settings
-
HTML Access requires certain pool settings.
- The Max resolution of any one monitor setting must be 1920x1200 or higher so that the remote desktop has at least 17.63 MB of video RAM.
- If you use 3D applications, or if end users use a MacBook with Retina Display or a Google Chromebook Pixel, see Setting the Screen Resolution.
- Connection Server
- Install the HTML Access component in Connection Server. For more information, see Preparing Connection Server.
- Third-party firewalls
-
Add rules to allow the following traffic:
- For servers, allow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443.
- For virtual desktop machines, allow inbound traffic (from servers) to TCP port 22443.
When you install the HTML Access component in Connection Server, the VMware Horizon View Connection Server (Blast-In) rule is enabled in the Windows Firewall. This rule configures the firewall to allow inbound traffic to TCP port 8443 automatically.
- Display protocols
-
VMware Blast
When you use a web browser to access a remote desktop, the VMware Blast display protocol is used rather than PCoIP or Microsoft RDP. VMware Blast uses HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS).
