Using same AD login to Horizon Client to VDI login

Looks for a little insight , trying get a Horizon client to use the AD credentials used at the time login to the system.

In reading the documents it says that the --loginAsCurrentUser can do this , not for me.  I do notice it will allow the Horizon client credentials to be passed to the VDI instance for login.

I can also use --domain DOMAIN and --username %USERNAME% but it stops for the password.

Is it even possible for the Horizon client to use the AD login credentials ?

thanks

Hi,

this could be the reason:

To improve the security of the Horizon environment, we are making some changes in the upcoming Horizon 7.8 release. The default settings for the servers will be not to send a list of domains, safeguarding company environment information.

However, this improvement will require that end users provide their domain information during logon. In other words, they will no longer select the correct domain from a drop down.
