Horizon Client with F5 and VMware Connection Server

Hi Guys,

 

 

I'm trying to figure out how I can implemented Horizon Client to connect to F5 which will then load balance connections to the pool of Connection Servers without having user to fill in their username / password ("Login as current user" enabled in Horizon Client).

 

Right now, if I connect my Horizon Client directly to one of the VMware Connection Server, I don't have to fill in the login / password form.

 

If, I configuration Horizon Client to connect to VIP on the F5 and I configure an APM (I went through de F5 template), then I have a popup window to enter my username / password.

 

I'm looking for an APM that will "transparently" authenticate the user before accessing the Connection Server.

 

 

How can I manage this ?

 

 

Thanks for your support,

    Hello, how does the the Horizon Client do this natively? APM does support NTLM Auth and Kerberos Auth which would probably work for the browser, but I am not sure they would work with the Horizon Client.
