Examples of vmware-view URIs
You can create hypertext links or buttons with the vmware-view URI scheme and include these links in email
or on a Web page. Your end users can click these links to, for example, launch a particular remote desktop
with the startup options you specify.
URI Syntax Examples
Each URI example is followed by a description of what the end user sees after clicking the URI link.
1
vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-session
Horizon View Client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. The login box prompts
the user for a user name, domain name, and password. After a successful login, the client connects to
the desktop whose display name is displayed as Primary Desktop, and the user is logged in to the
guest operating system.
NOTE The default display protocol and window size are used. The default display protocol is PCoIP.
The default window size is full screen.
2
vmware-view://view.mycompany.com:7555/Primary%20Desktop
This URI has the same effect as the previous example, except that it uses the nondefault port of 7555 for
View Connection Server. (The default port is 443.) Because a desktop identifier is provided, the desktop
is launched even though the start-session action is not included in the URI.
3
vmware-view://[e-mail]/Finance%20Desktop?desktopProtocol=PCoIP
Horizon View Client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. In the login box, the
User name text box is populated with the name fred. The user must supply the domain name and
password. After a successful login, the client connects to the desktop whose display name is displayed
as Finance Desktop, and the user is logged in to the guest operating system. The connection uses the
PCoIP display protocol.
4
vmware-view://[e-mail]/Finance%20Desktop?domainName=mycompany
Horizon View Client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. In the login box, the
User name text box is populated with the name fred, and the Domain text box is populated with
mycompany. The user must supply only a password. After a successful login, the client connects to the
desktop whose display name is displayed as Finance Desktop, and the user is logged in to the guest
operating system.
