Table 2‑4. Horizon Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
None
-r, --redirect=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Specifies a local device that you want rdesktop
to redirect to the View desktop.
Specify the device information that you want to pass to
the -r option of rdesktop. You can set multiple device
options in a single command.
Example of using the command-line option:
--redirect="sound:off"
view.rdpClient --rdpclient=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Specifies which type of RDP client to use. The
default is rdesktop. To use FreeRDP instead, specify
xfreerdp.
NOTE To use FreeRDP, you must have the correct
version of FreeRDP installed, along with any applicable
patches. For more information, see “Install and
Configure FreeRDP,” on page 38.
None
--save
Saves the user name and domain name that were last
used to successfully log in so that you do not need to
enter the user name or domain name the next time you
are prompted to supply login credentials.
view.sendCtrlAltDelToLocal
None (Available if you use the PCoIP display protocol) When
set to "TRUE", sends the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del
to the client system rather than opening a dialog box to
prompt the user to disconnect from the View desktop.
Default is "FALSE".
NOTE If you use the Microsoft RDP display protocol,
you can achieve this functionality by using the -K
option; for example, vmware-view -K.
This option has the same priority as the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
view.sendCtrlAltDelToVM
None (Available if you use the PCoIP display protocol) When
set to "TRUE", sends the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del
to the virtual desktop rather than opening a dialog box
to prompt the user to disconnect from the View desktop.
Default is "FALSE".
This option has a higher priority than the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
view.sendCtrlAltInsToVM
None (Available if you use the PCoIP display protocol) When
set to "TRUE", sends the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Ins to
the virtual desktop rather than sending Ctrl+Alt+Del.
Default is "FALSE".
NOTE To use this feature, you must also set the agent-
side GPO policy called "Use alternate key for sending
Secure Attention Sequence," available in the pcoip.adm
template. See the topic called "View PCoIP Session
Variables for the Keyboard" in the "Configuring Policies"
chapter of the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in
View document.
This option has a lower priority than the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
view.sslCipherString --sslCipherString=
Configures the cipher list to restrict the use of certain
cryptographic algorithms before establishing an
encrypted SSL connection.
For a list of cipher strings, see
http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html .
Default is "AES:!aNULL:@STRENGTH".
