Security considerations and best practices

Keep the following security considerations in mind when you configure host-to-client URL redirection.

• Add URLs that contain sensitive data to the exception list to keep them in the remote session.

• Redirected URLs might require separate authentication in the local browser.

• Cookies and session data are not shared between the remote session and the local browser.

• Use HTTPS patterns to help ensure encrypted communication.

Best practices

• Verify that local devices can access redirected URLs. Check corporate firewall policies if needed.

• If users connect through a proxy, verify that redirected URLs are accessible.

• Start small: Begin with a limited set of trusted domains and expand based on user feedback.

• Use HTTPS: Always prefer https:// patterns over http:// for security.

• Be specific: Use specific paths rather than broad wildcards when possible.

• Review regularly: Review and update URL patterns regularly to remove unused entries.

• Test thoroughly: Validate configuration with pilot users before organization-wide deployment.
