• Restrict remote desktop access outside the network 
  View administrators can allow access to specific entitled users and groups from an external network while restricting access to other entitled users and groups.
  
• Smart Cards for multiple user accounts 
  In some environments, a user's smart card certificate can map to multiple Active Directory domain user accounts. A user might have multiple accounts with administrator privileges and needs to specify which account to use in the Username hint field during smart card login. To make the Username hint field appear on the Horizon Client login dialog box, the administrator must enable the smart card user name hints feature for the Connection Server instance in View Administrator. The smart card user can then enter a user name or UPN in the Username hint field during smart card login.

In certain situations, setting appMode=0 can improve performance, and setting appMode=1 can result in a better user experience.
  
• Granular control of clipboard data formats 
  You can configure group policy settings to filter out specific data formats when users copy and paste data during PCoIP and VMware Blast sessions.

This feature provides added flexibility when you need to restrict copy and paste operations for security reasons.
