To create a local URL content redirection setting, see Create a Local URL Content Redirection Setting.
Prerequisites
Become familiar with vdmutil command-line interface options and requirements and verify that you have
sufficient privileges to run the the vdmutil command. See Using the vdmutil Command-Line Utility.
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 setting.
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 setting. The name can contain
between 1 and 64 characters.
--urlRedirectionScope Scope of the URL content redirection setting. Specify GLOBAL to make the
setting visible across the pod federation.
--description Description of the URL content redirection setting. The description can contain
between 1 and 1024 characters.
--urlScheme Protocol to which the URL content redirection setting applies, for example, http,
https, mailto, or callto.
--entitledApplication Display name of a global application entitlement to use to open the specified
URLs.
--entitledDesktop Display name of a global desktop entitlement to use to open the specified URLs,
for example, GE-1.
--agentURLPattern A quoted string that specifies the URL that should be opened on the remote
desktop or application. You must include the protocol prefix. You can use
wildcards to specify a URL pattern that matches multiple URLs.
For example, if you type "http://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 setting 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.
