Horizon desktops and applications can be launched from the Workspace ONE catalog in Horizon Client or a Web browser, based on how the desktop or application has been configured in Horizon. If a desktop or application is only configured for Horizon Client, users must install Horizon Client on their systems.
The Horizon HTML Access feature provides Horizon administrators the option of configuring a desktop or application for browsers. This configuration is done in Horizon and no configuration is required in Workspace ONE Access. See the VMware Horizon HTML Access documentation for information.
In Horizon 7 versions prior to 7.13, the Allow HTML Access to desktop and applications on this farm setting determines whether users in Workspace ONE Access have the option to launch desktops or applications from that farm in a browser.
In Horizon 7.13 and later versions, HTML Access is enabled by default for all resources in a farm. End users always see the option in Intelligent Hub to launch applications and desktops in a browser. However, if HTML Access is not installed on the Horizon Connection servers, browser launch fails. For Horizon 7.13 and later versions, you must install HTML Access on the Horizon Connection servers.
Workspace ONE Access also supports all the display protocols that Horizon supports for Horizon Client. For Horizon 7, Workspace ONE Access supports the Blast protocol in addition to PCoIP and RDP for Horizon Client 4.0. When Workspace ONE Access users launch a desktop or application in Horizon Client, it uses the protocol that is set in Horizon.
For information about configuring the display protocols and launch options, see the Horizon documentation.
In the Workspace ONE Access console, you can check the launch options that a Horizon desktop or application supports.
