Security-related server settings for user authentication are accessible under Settings > Global Settings > Global Settings or Settings > Server in the Horizon console. These security settings determine how Horizon Client can log in to the connection broker.

  • To allow the connection broker instance to accept the user identity and credential information that is passed when users select Log in as current user in the Options menu in Horizon Client, activate the Accept logon as current user setting for the connection broker instance. This setting is available for Horizon Client for Windows. For more information, see the Horizon 8 Administration document.
  • To hide the server URL in Horizon Client, activate the Hide server information in client user interface global setting. For more information, see "Global Settings for Client Sessions" in the Horizon 8 Administration document.
  • To hide the Domain drop-down menu in Horizon Client, activate the Hide domain list in client user interface global setting. For more information, see "Global Settings for Client Sessions" in the Horizon 8 Administration document.
  • To send the domain list to Horizon Client, activate the Send domain list global setting in the console. For more information, see "Global Settings for Client Sessions" in the Horizon 8 Administration document.
Note: Not all settings are applicable to all Horizon Clients. To see user authentication settings for a particular Horizon Client, see the Horizon Client documentation at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon/index.html.
