Configuring Remote Desktop Features

Prerequisites
Become familiar with vdmutil command-line interface options and requirements and verify that you have
sucient privileges to run the the vdmutil command. See “Using the vdmutil Command-Line Utility,” on
page 59.
Procedure
1 Log in to any Connection Server instance in the pod federation.
2
Run the vdmutil command with the --createURLSetting option to create the URL content redirection
seing.
vdmutil --createURLSetting --urlSettingName value --urlRedirectionScope GLOBAL
[--description value] [--urlScheme value] [--entitledApplication value | --entitledDesktop
value] [--agentURLPattern value]
Option Description
--urlSettingName
Unique name for the URL content redirection seing. The name can
contain between 1 and 64 characters.
--urlRedirectionScope
Scope of the URL content redirection seing. Specify GLOBAL to make the
seing visible across the pod federation.
--description
Description of the URL content redirection seing. The description can
contain between 1 and 1024 characters.
--urlScheme
Protocol to which the URL content redirection seing applies, for example,
hp, hps, mailto, or callto.
--entitledApplication
Display name of a global application entitlement to use to open the
specied URLs.
--entitledDesktop
Display name of a global desktop entitlement to use to open the specied
URLs, for example, GE-1.
--agentURLPattern
A quoted string that species the URL that should be opened on the
remote desktop or application. You must include the protocol prex. You
can use wildcards to specify a URL paern that matches multiple URLs.
For example, if you type "hp://google.*", all URLs that include the text
google are redirected to the remote desktop or application. If you type .*
(dot star), all URLs are redirected to the remote desktop or application.
3
(Optional) Run the vdmutil command with the --updateURLSetting option to add more protocols,
URLs, and global resources to the URL content redirection seing that you created.
vdmutil --updateURLSetting --urlSettingName value --urlRedirectionScope GLOBAL
[--description value][--urlScheme value][--entitledApplication value | --entitledDesktop
value] [--agentURLPattern value]
The options are the same as for the vdmutil command with the --createURLSetting option.
Example: Configuring a Global URL Content Redirection Setting
The following example creates a global URL content redirection seing called Operations-Setting that
redirects all client URLs that include the text http://google.* to the global application entitlement called
GAE1.
vdmutil --createURLSetting --urlSettingName Operations-Setting --urlRedirectionScope GLOBAL
--urlScheme http --entitledApplication GAE1 --agentURLPattern "http://google.*" --authAs johndoe
--authDomain mydomain --authPassword secret
