- Click Yes to accept the RSA host key after verifying the host’s authenticity.
- Now enter your HSU Username and Password and click OK (only check Save this password in the connection file if you are on a trusted computer)
- Choose “Create a new virtual desktop” and check the “Save this setting in the connection file.”
