This document, VMware Horizon Client for Mac User Guide, explains how to use VMware Horizon® Client™ for Mac to connect to and use remote desktops and published applications.
Horizon Client communicates with a server, which acts as a broker between the client device and remote desktops and published applications. You enter credentials into Horizon Client, the server authenticates your credentials, and then the server finds the remote desktops and published applications that you are entitled to use.
For information about the software installed on your remote desktops, contact your system administrator.
This document assumes that Horizon Client for Mac is already installed and configured on your Mac. For information about installing and configuring Horizon Client for Mac, see the VMware Horizon Client for Mac Installation and Setup Guide document.
