Setting Up for Linux Desktops

Table 6‑2. Configuration Options in /etc/vmware/viewagent-custom.conf
Option Value Default Description
Subnet
NULL or
network
address
and
mask in
IP
addres
s/CIDR
format
NULL
If there are multiple local IP addresses with dierent
subnets, use this option to set the subnet that the Linux
Agent provides to the View Connection Server.
When multiple subnet congurations are detected on a
Linux Agent machine, this option is required to specify
the correct subnet that should be used by the Linux
Agent. For example, if you installed Docker on the Linux
machine, it will be introduced as a virtual network
adapter. To avoid Linux Agent from using Docker as a
virtual network adapter, you have to set this option to
use the real physical network adapter.
You must specify the value in IP address/CIDR format.
For example, Subnet=192.168.1.0/24.
NULL implies that the Linux Agent randomly selects the
IP address.
SSOEnable
true or
false
true
Set this option to enable/disable single sign-on (SSO).
SSOUserFormat A text
string
[username] Use this option to specify the format of the login name
for single sign-on. The default is the user name only. Set
this option if the domain name is also required. Typically
the login name is the domain name plus a special
character followed by the user name. If the special
character is the backslash, you must escape it with
another backslash. Examples of login name formats:
n
SSOUserFormat=[domain]\\[username]
n
SSOUserFormat=[domain]+[username]
n
SSOUserFormat=[username]@[domain]
CDREnable
true or
false
true
Set this option to enable or disable the Client Drive
Redirection (CDR) feature.
USBEnable
true or
false
true
Set this option to enable or disable the USB Redirection
feature.
KeyboardLayoutSy
nc
true or
false
true
Use this option to specify whether to synchronize a
client's system locale list and current keyboard layout
with the Horizon Agent for Linux desktops.
When this seing is enabled or not congured,
synchronization is allowed. When this seing is disabled,
synchronization is not allowed.
This feature is supported only for Horizon Client for
Windows, and only for the English, French, German,
Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Simplied Chinese, and
Traditional Chinese locales.
StartBlastServerTim
eout
An
integer
20 This option determines the amount of time, in seconds,
that the VMwareBlastServer process has for
initialization. If the process is not ready within this
timeout value, the user's login will fail.
SSLCiphers A text
string
!aNULL:kECDH
+AESGCM:ECDH
+AESGCM:RSA
+AESGCM:kECDH
+AES:ECDH+AES:RSA
+AES
Use this option to specify the list of ciphers. You must
use the format that is dened in
hps://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/ciphers.
html.
SSLProtocols A text
string
TLSv1_1:TLSv1_2 Use this option to specify the security protocols. The
supported protocols are TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2.
