Horizon Access Point overview
The Horizon Access Point is a type of Horizon Connection Server that is designed to add an additional layer of security between remote Horizon Clients and Horizon resources that are located on a private network.

Some of the functions and features of the Horizon Access Point include:
Providing remote Horizon clients with their own dedicated connection broker, ensuring an optimal user experience
Brokering connections between remote Horizon clients and internal Horizon-managed resources
Authenticating user connection requests
Supporting RSA SecurID, RADIUS, Smart Cards, and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) based authentication for enabling optional two-factor user authentication
Ability to be placed in a DMZ to further isolate the Access Point...
