Session collaboration in Linux (RHEL6) vms

Hello everyone,

We are facing some issues to provide the Session Collaboration in a pool for our customers using Linux Enterprise Red Hat Workstation 6.10.

We read all the related documentation and trying configuring it to use this feature in Linux VDI environment, but it didn't work.

Could you have any documentation or step-by-step guide to give us a light? All paper that we found they direct us to use with Microsoft Windows versions

I reviewed the documentation and RHEL 6.10 is not support for Horizon 7. In addition there are specific requirements for the session collaboration feature that you need to meet. Can you switch to a supported Linux distribution and make sure that you meet all of the session collaboration requirements for Linux and try again.
