User manual

Table 3‑11. Horizon Client Command-Line Options (Continued)
Option Description
-singleAutoConnect
Species that if the user is entitled to only one remote desktop or application,
after the user authenticates to the server, the desktop or application is
automatically connected and the user is logged in. This seing spares the user
from having to select the desktop or application from a list that contains only
one item.
-smartCardPIN PIN
Species the PIN when an end user inserts a smart card to login.
-usernameHint user_name
Species the account name to use as the username hint.
-standalone
Supported for backwards compatibility purposes. This is the default behavior
for this client. Specifying -standalone is not necessary. Launches a second
instance of the Horizon Client that can connect to the same or a dierent
Connection Server instance.
For multiple desktop connections to the same server or to a dierent server,
using the secure tunnel is supported.
N The second desktop connection might not have access to local
hardware, such as USB devices, smart, cards, printers, and multiple monitors.
-supportText le_name
Species the full path of a text le. The content of the le is displayed in the
Support Information dialog.
-unattended
Runs Horizon Client in a noninteractive mode that is suitable for clients in
kiosk mode. You must also specify:
n
The account name of the client, if you did not generate the account name
from the MAC address of the client device. The name must begin with
the string “custom-” or an alternate prex that you have congured in
ADAM.
n
The password of the client, if you did not generate a password
automatically when you set up the account for the client.
The -unattended option implicitly sets the -nonInteractive,
-connectUSBOnStartup, -connectUSBOnInsert , and
-desktopLayout multimonitoroptions.
-unauthenticatedAccessAccount
Species an Unauthenticated Access user account to use to log in
anonymously to the server when Unauthenticated Access is enabled. If
Unauthenticated Access is not enabled, this option is ignored.
For example:
vmware-view.exe -serverURL ag-broker.agwork.com -
unauthenticatedAccessEnabled true -
unauthenticatedAccessAccount anonymous1
-unauthenticatedAccessEnabled
Species Unauthenticated Access behavior:
n
true enables Unauthenticated Access. The client may fall back to another
authentication method if Unauthenticated Access is not available. The
Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access seing is visible,
disabled, and selected in Horizon Client.
n
false requires you to enter your credentials to log in and access your
applications. The Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access
seing is hidden and deselected in Horizon Client.
If you do not specify this option, you can enable Unauthenticated Access in
Horizon Client. The Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access
seing is visible, enabled, and deselected.
