Option Prevent users from changing server address Connection Security Level Description This option enabled by default. Disable it if users prefer to access options for window size or desktop pool selection in a VMware Horizon View session. If enabled, end users cannot change the server address. Use the Connection Security Level to adjust the security level that the VMware Horizon View client uses when connecting to the server. NOTE: For more information, see VMware Horizon View HTTPS and certificate management requirements on page 29 for details on how connection security levels behave. RDP Options The following table describes the settings that are available under the RDP Options category when editing a VMware Horizon View connection. Option Enable motion events Enable data compression Enable deprecated RDP encryption Enable offscreen cache Attach to admin console Cross-session copy/paste Enable buffering of RDP6 primitives Enable Progressive RemoteFX Codec Certificate verification policy TLS Version Hostname to send Load Balance Info Description Enables motion events for this connection. Uses data compression for this connection. Enables encryption for this connection. If enabled, off-screen memory is used to cache bitmaps. Attaches the connection to the administrator console port. If enabled, copy and paste are enabled between different RDP sessions. If enabled, non-RemoteFX graphics performance is increased at the cost of less frequent screen updates. Enables the RemoteFX Progressive Codec, which transmits the desktop in a series of sharper and sharper images. Select one of the following: ● Accept all RDP server certificates ● Use remembered hosts; warn if unknown or invalid certificate ● Skip remembered hosts; warn if unknown or invalid certificate ● Connect only to pre-approved RDP servers Sets the version of Transport Layer Security to be used during the early stages of negotiation with the RDP server. Either set this to match the version of TLS used by your RDP server, or try setting it to auto. NOTE: There are some server-side defects in some unpatched RDP servers that can cause the auto setting to fail, so it is not the default setting. Normally, the thin client's hostname is used for Client Access Licenses. This field allows a different value to be sent. TIP: Select the ? icon next to this option for more information. Use this option with a brokered RDP connection. TIP: Select the ? icon next to this option for more information. 24 Chapter 4 Connection types
