Table 2‑2. Horizon Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.kioskLogin --kioskLogin
Species that Horizon Client is going to
authenticate using a kiosk mode account.
If you are seing the conguration key, specify
"TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
For examples, see the kiosk mode example that
follows this table.
view.mmrPath -m, --mmrPath=
(Available only with distributions from third-
party vendors) Species the path to the directory
that contains the Wyse MMR (multimedia
redirection) libraries.
Example of using the command-line option:
--mmrPath="/usr/lib/altmmr"
view.monitors --monitors= numbered list
Allows you to specify which adjacent monitors to
use for Horizon Client. Use --allmonitors (or
view.allMonitors) to specify that you want to
use full screen on all monitors, and use
--monitors=numbered list to specify which subset
of the monitors to use.
Example of using the command-line option to
specify the rst and second monitors in a
conguration where 3 monitors are set next to
each other horizontally:
--allmonitors --monitors="1,2" `
To help distinguish which physical monitor is
associated with a monitor icon in the client UI, a
rectangle is displayed at the top left corner of the
physical monitor you had specied to use. The
rectangle has the corresponding color and number
that is used in the icon for the chosen monitor.
view.noMenuBar --nomenubar
Suppresses the Horizon Client menu bar when the
client is in full screen mode, so that users cannot
access menu options to log o of, reset, or
disconnect from a View desktop. Use this option
when conguring kiosk mode.
If you are seing the conguration key, specify
"TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.nonInteractive -q, --nonInteractive
Hides unnecessary UI steps from end users by
skipping the screens that are specied in the
command line or conguration properties.
If you are seing the conguration key, specify
"TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
Seing this property to "TRUE" is the equivalent
of seing the view.autoConnectBroker and
view.autoConnectDesktop properties to
"TRUE".
Example of using the command-line option:
--nonInteractive
--serverURL="https://view.company.com"
--userName="user1" --password="-"
--domainName="xyz"
--desktopName="Windows 7"
