Tips for Standalone View Client and Dynamic Webtop Integration
Example access policy for standalone View Client and View on webtop
You can configure one access policy that can provide access to a standalone View Client and
can launch View from a webtop depending on the client type.
Client Type action branch rules
Place actions for the standalone View
Client on the VMware View branch, and place actions for launching View from a dynamic webtop
on the Full or Mobile Browser branch.

Example access policy continued: Logon and authentication
To support a
standalone View Client, you must provide a VMware View Logon page and Active Directory
authentication. This example shows RSA SecurID authentication followed by Active Directory
(AD) authentication. (SecurID authentication is optional for a standalone View Client; it
can follow or precede the AD Auth action.)
To support launching View from a webtop,
you can provide a Logon Page and any authentication type. This example includes AD Auth.

Example access policy completed: Resource assignment
After successful
authentication, assign resources to the session.

You might choose to configure your access policy differently. For example,
you might not use SecurID authentication for a standalone View Client at all, and you might
choose a different type of authentication, or multiple types of authentication, before
launching View from a webtop.
About a configuration
for standalone View Client and View on webtop
When you configure Access Policy Manager (APM®) to support standalone View Client
authentication and to support launching View from a dynamic webtop, the instructions specify the
same type of configuration objects for either case. You can use the same objects for both cases
if you begin the access policy with the Client Type action. Then configure actions for View
Client authentication on the VMware View branch and configure actions for the webtop on the Full
or Mobile Browser branch.
