Configuring Agent-to-Client Redirection

With agent-to-client redirection, Horizon Agent sends the URL to Horizon Client, which opens the default application for the protocol in the URL.

To enable agent-to-client redirection, perform the following configuration tasks in the order shown.

1. Install the extensions for the browsers that you intend to use on the Windows agent machine.

   Browser	Instructions
   Chrome	Install and Enable the URL Content Redirection Helper Extension for Chrome on Windows
   Microsoft Edge (Chromium)	Install the URL Content Redirection Helper Extension for Microsoft Edge (Chromium) on Windows

   Note: For Internet Explorer, VMware Horizon View URL Filtering Plugin is installed by default with Horizon Agent. See Installing Horizon Agent with the URL Content Redirection Feature Enabled.
2. Enable the URL Content Redirection feature in Horizon Agent. See Installing Horizon Agent with the URL Content Redirection Feature Enabled.
3. Apply the URL Content Redirection group policy settings to your remote desktops and published applications. See Add the URL Content Redirection ADMX Template to a GPO.
4. Configure group policy settings to indicate, for each protocol, how Horizon Agent should redirect the URL. See URL Content Redirection Group Policy Settings.
