User manual

Table 3‑11. Horizon Client Command-Line Options (Continued)
Option Description
-password password
Species the password that the end user uses to log in to Horizon Client. The
password is processed in plain text by the command console or any scripting
tool. You do not need to specify this option for clients in kiosk mode if you
generate the password automatically. For improved security, it is
recommended that you do not specify this option. Users can enter the
password interactively.
-printEnvironmentInfo
Displays the IP address, MAC address, and machine name of the client
device.
-serverURL connection_server
Species the URL, IP address, or FQDN of the Connection Server instance.
-shutdown
Shuts down all desktops and applications and relevant UI components.
-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
