connections and adds the password to the Password
field in the authentication dialog box if View Connection
Server accepts password authentication.
NOTE You cannot use a blank password. That is, you
cannot specify --password=""
view.defaultProtocol --protocol= Specifies which display protocol to use. Specify "PCOIP"
or "RDP". These values are case-sensitive. For example,
if you enter rdp the protocol used will be the default.
Default is the setting specified in View Administrator,
under pool settings for the pool.
If you use RDP and you want to use FreeRDP rather
than rdesktop, you must also use the rdpClient
setting.
view.defaultUser -u, --userName=
Sets the user name that Horizon Client uses for all
connections and adds the user name that you specify to
the User Name field in the authentication dialog box.
For kiosk mode, the account name can be based on the
client's MAC address, or it can begin with a recognized
prefix string, such as custom-.
view.disableMaximizedApp --disableMaximizedApp If set to "FALSE" (the default), the application is
launched in full screen mode.
view.fullScreen --fullscreen
Hides the host operating system and opens the
Horizon Client user interface in full screen mode on one
monitor. This option does not affect the screen mode of
the desktop session.
If you are setting the configuration key, specify "TRUE"
or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.kbdLayout -k, --kbdLayout=
Specifies which locale to use for the keyboard layout.
NOTE rdesktop uses locale codes, such as "fr" and
"de", whereas freerdp uses keyboard layout IDs. For a
list of these IDs, use the following command:
xfreerdp --kbd-list
Example of using the command-line option for rdesktop:
--kbdLayout="en-us"
-k "fr"
Example of using the command-line option for freerdp:
-k "0x00010407"
