Using URL Content Redirection in a Cloud Pod Architecture Environment for Horizon 8

If you have a Cloud Pod Architecture environment, you can configure global URL content redirection settings in addition to local URL content redirection settings.

Unlike local URL content redirection settings, which are visible only in the local pod, global URL content redirection settings are visible across the pod federation. With global URL content redirection settings, you can redirect URL links in the client to global resources, such as global desktop entitlements and global application entitlements.

When a user uses Horizon Client to log in to a connection broker instance in the pod federation, the connection broker instance looks for all of the local and global URL content redirection settings assigned to the user. The local and global settings are merged and used whenever the user clicks a URL on the client machine.
