Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.rdpClient --rdpclient=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Species which type of RDP client to use. The
default is rdesktop. To use FreeRDP instead, specify
xfreerdp.
N To use FreeRDP, you must have the correct
version of FreeRDP installed, along with any applicable
patches. For more information, see “Install and
Congure FreeRDP,” on page 43.

--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 VMware Blast or 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".
N 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 seing in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config le.
view.sendCtrlAltDelToVM
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or 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 seing in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config le.
view.sendCtrlAltInsToVM
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or 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".
N To use this feature, you must also set the agent-
side GPO policy called "Use alternate key for sending
Secure Aention Sequence," available in the pcoip.adm
template. See the topic called "View PCoIP Session
Variables for the Keyboard" in the "Conguring
Policies" chapter of the Seing Up Desktop and
Application Pools in View document.
This option has a lower priority than the seing in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config le.
view.sslCipherString --sslCipherString=
Congures the cipher list to restrict the use of certain
cryptographic algorithms before establishing an
encrypted SSL connection.
For a list of cipher strings, see
hp://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html .
