3. For on or off-campus use, ensure you have DUO Multi-Factor Authentication set up. To setup DUO visit DUO Setup instructions.

Setup VMware Horizon client for Off-Campus use:

1. Open the VMware Horizon Client.

2. Click the "+" symbol to add a new connection.

3. Enter "horizon.auburn.edu" for the connection server.

4. Click the Connect button

5. After entering your Auburn username (ex: auburn\username OR username@auburn.edu) and password, you will be required to answer your DUO Multi-Factor Authentication prompt on your mobile device. It is best to have the DUO app on your mobile device open and ready for the push notification because the prompt is not always set to notify you by default.  If you do not get this prompt, then the connection will fail.
