You must provide the username and password of a View Connection
Server administrator in the Username and Password text boxes.
The user account must be a domain user with access to View LDAP on the View Connection Server

View Agent Custom Setup Options for an RDS Host
When you install View Agent on an RDS host, you can select custom setup options. In addition, View Agent
installs certain features automatically on all guest operating systems on which they are supported. These
features are not optional.
Table 7‑1. View Agent Custom Setup Options for an RDS Host in an IPv4 Environment
Option Description
USB Redirection Gives users access to locally connected USB storage devices.
Specifically, redirection of USB flash drives and hard disks is supported in RDS
desktops and applications. Redirection of other types of USB devices, and other
types of USB storage devices such as security storage drives and USB CD-ROM,
is not supported in RDS desktops and applications.
This setup option is not selected by default. You must select the option to install
it. This option is available on RDS hosts that run Windows Server 2012 or 2012
R2 but not Windows Server 2008 R2.
For guidance on using USB redirection securely, see the View Security guide. For
example, you can use group policy settings to disable USB redirection for
specific users.
HTML Access Allows users to connect to RDS desktops and applications by using
HTML Access. The HTML Access Agent is installed when this setup option is
selected. This agent must be installed on RDS hosts to allow users to make
connections with HTML Access
