ClientPatterns
No client patterns configured
3 On a Windows client machine, open Horizon Client, connect to the Connection Server instance, click
URLs that match the URL patterns configured in the setting, and verify that the URLs are redirected
as expected.
4 On the same Windows client machine, open the registry editor (regedit) and check the registry keys
in the path \Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vmware. Inc.\VMware
VDM\URLRedirection\.
You should see a key for each protocol specified in the setting. You can click a protocol to see the
rules associated with that protocol. For example, agentRules shows the URLs that are being
redirected, brokerHostName shows the IP address or fully qualified host name of the Connection
Server instance that is used when redirecting the URLs, and remoteItem shows the display name of
the desktop or application pool that handles the redirected URLs.
Managing URL Content Redirection Settings
You can use vdmutil commands to manage your URL content redirection settings.
You must specify the --authAs, --authDomain, and --authPassword options with all commands. For
more information, see Using the vdmutil Command-Line Utility.
Displaying Settings
Run the vdmutil command with the --listURLSetting option to list the names of all configured URL
content redirection settings.
vdmutil --listURLSetting
