Table 2‑2. General Global Settings for Client Sessions (Continued)
Setting Description
For clients that support
applications.
If the user stops using the keyboard
and mouse, disconnect their
applications and discard SSO
credentials:
Protects application sessions when there is no keyboard or mouse activity on the
client device. If set to After ... minutes, View disconnects all applications and
discards SSO credentials after the specified number of minutes without user
activity. Desktop sessions are not disconnected. Users must log in again to
reconnect to the applications that were disconnected or launch a new desktop or
application.
IMPORTANT Users must be aware that when they have both applications and
desktops open, and their applications are disconnected because of this timeout,
their desktops remain connected. Users must not rely on this timeout to protect
their desktops.
If set to Never, View never disconnects applications or discards SSO credentials
due to user inactivity.
The default is Never.
Other clients.
Discard SSO credentials:
Discards SSO credentials after the specified number of minutes. This setting is for
clients that do not support application remoting. If set to After ... minutes, users
must log in again to connect to a desktop after the specified number of minutes
has passed since the user logged in to View, regardless of any user activity on the
client device.
If set to Never, View stores SSO credentials until the user closes Horizon Client,
or the Forcibly disconnect users timeout is reached, whichever comes first.
The default is After 15 minutes.
Enable automatic status updates Determines if status updates appear in the global status pane in the upper-left
corner of View Administrator every few minutes. The dashboard page of View
Administrator is also updated every few minutes.
By default, this setting is not enabled.
Display a pre-login message Displays a disclaimer or another message to Horizon Client users when they log
in.
Type your information or instructions in the text box in the Global Settings dialog

To display no message, leave the check box unselected.
Display warning before forced
logoff
Displays a warning message when users are forced to log off because a scheduled
or immediate update such as a desktop-refresh operation is about to start. This
setting also determines how long to wait after the warning is shown before the
user is logged off.
Check the box to display a warning message.
Type the number of minutes to wait after the warning is displayed and before
logging off the user. The default is 5 minutes.
Type your warning message. You can use the default message:
Your desktop is scheduled for an important update and
will be shut down in 5 minutes. Please
save any unsaved work now.
