User manual

Examples of vmware-view URIs
You can create hypertext links or buons 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, open 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 starts 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.
N The default display protocol and window size are used. The default display protocol is PCoIP.
The default window size is full screen.

vmware-view://view.mycompany.com:7555/Primary%20Desktop
This URI has the same eect as the previous example, except that it uses the nondefault port of 7555 for
Connection Server. (The default port is 443.) Because a desktop identier is provided, the desktop opens
even though the start-session action is not included in the URI.
