Table 3‑3. Valid Values for the desktopLayout Query
Value Description
fullscreen
Full screen on one monitor. This is the default.
multimonitor
Full screen on all monitors.
windowLarge
Large window.
windowSmall
Small window.
WxH
Custom resolution, where you specify the width by height,
in pixels. An example of the syntax is
desktopLayout=1280x800.
desktopProtocol
For remote desktops, valid values are RDP and PCoIP. For example, to specify
PCoIP, use the syntax desktopProtocol=PCoIP. For remote applications,
regardless of the setting, the application sessions use PCoIP.
domainName
The domain associated with the user who is connecting to the remote
desktop or application.
tokenUserName
Specifies the RSA or RADIUS user name. Use this query only if the RSA or
RADIUS user name is different from the Active Directory user name. If you
do not specify this query and RSA or RADIUS authentication is required, the
Windows user name is used. The syntax is tokenUserName=name.
unattended
Creates a server connection to a remote desktop in kiosk mode. If you use
this query, do not specify user information if you generated the account
name from the MAC address of the client device. If you created custom
account names in ADAM, however, such as names that begin with "custom-"
you must specify the account information.
Examples of vmware-view URIs
You can create hypertext links or buttons with the vmware-view URI scheme and include these links in email
or on a Web page. Your end users can click these links to, for example, launch a particular remote desktop
with the startup options you specify.
URI Syntax Examples
Each URI example is followed by a description of what the end user sees after clicking the URI link.
1
vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-session
Horizon Client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. The login box prompts the
user for a user name, domain name, and password. After a successful login, the client connects to the
desktop whose display name is displayed as Primary Desktop, and the user is logged in to the guest
operating system.
NOTE The default display protocol and window size are used. The default display protocol is PCoIP.
The default window size is full screen.
2
vmware-view://view.mycompany.com:7555/Primary%20Desktop
This URI has the same effect as the previous example, except that it uses the nondefault port of 7555 for
View Connection Server. (The default port is 443.) Because a desktop identifier is provided, the desktop
is launched even though the start-session action is not included in the URI.
