User manual

Table 2‑1. Values That Can Be Used with the action Query (Continued)
Value Description
reset
Shuts down and restarts the specified desktop. Unsaved data is
lost. Resetting a remote desktop is the equivalent of pressing the
Reset button on a physical PC. Specifying an application is not
supported. If you specify an application, an error message appears.
If you do not specify a desktop or application, Horizon Client quits
all remote applications.
logoff
Logs the user out of the guest operating system in the remote
desktop. If you specify an application, the action will be ignored or
the end user will see the warning message "Invalid URI action."
appProtocol
For remote applications, valid values are PCOIP and BLAST. For example, to
specify PCoIP, use the syntax appProtocol=PCOIP.
defaultLaunchView
Sets the default launch view for Horizon Client. Valid values are recent and
servers.
desktopProtocol
For remote desktops, valid values are PCOIP and BLAST. For example, to
specify PCoIP, use the syntax desktopProtocol=PCOIP.
domainName
The NETBIOS domain name associated with the user who is connecting to
the remote desktop or application. For example, you would use mycompany
rather than mycompany.com.
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.
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
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.
