Adding Conditions to Horizon Smart Policy Definitions and Environment Variable Definitions

When you define a Horizon 8 Smart Policy or environment variable in Dynamic Environment Manager, you can add conditions that must be met for the policy or variable to take effect. For example, you can add a condition that deactivates the client drive redirection feature only if a user connects to the remote desktop from outside your corporate network.

Important: You must add the following conditions to a Horizon Smart Policy or environment variable definition in order for the supported settings to take effect in a remote Linux desktop. These are the only conditions that are currently supported. If other conditions are set, the result of the condition evaluation is false.

Table 1. Required Conditions for Remote Linux Desktops

Condition	Description
Operating System Architecture	Checks the architecture of the operating system. The value must be set to Linux.
Endpoint IP address	Checks whether the endpoint IP address is in or not in the specified range. Empty fields at the start of the range are interpreted as 0, and the ones at the end as 255.

You can, however, set multiple Endpoint IP address conditions, as shown in the following example.

Operating system is Linux
AND Endpoint IP address is in range 11.22.33.44 - 11.22.33.54
OR Endpoint IP address is in range 11.22.33.66 - 11.22.33.77
