Launching Horizon Desktops and Applications from Workspace ONE
Workspace ONE provides users with the ability to run Horizon applications and desktops from a user portal. WS1 Access provides single sign-on to these applications and desktops by sending SAML assertions to VMware Horizon.
In this section you will authenticate to Workspace ONE as an end user, then launch Horizon resources.
