example, if you enter rdp the protocol used will be the
default. Default is the seing specied in View

If you use RDP and you want to use FreeRDP rather
than rdesktop, you must also use the rdpClient
seing.
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 eld in the authentication dialog box.
For kiosk mode, the account name can be based on the

launched in full screen mode.

or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.kbdLayout -k, --kbdLayout=
