With the URL Content Redirection feature, we configure specific URLs to open on the Horizon client machine and specific URLs on the Horizon virtual desktop or application.
How does this feature help?
URL Content Redirection helps both improve security and reduce unnecessary bandwidth and resource consumption in virtual desktop when users browse certain Internet based content.
Let us understand with some example here.
Let us assume that user is connecting to a virtual desktop and we basically do not want to allow certain websites (say "yahoo.com") to be accessed in virtual desktop but at the same time we do not want to block the website when user tries to connect to it. Instead of blocking the website, whenever user tries to access yahoo.com inside virtual desktop, the moment user types URL in IE address bar and hits enter, users browser session gets redirected to client machine IE as shown in image below. So yahoo.com will be opened but using the IE of client machine and not that of virtual desktop.
