Table 2‑2. Horizon Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.once --once
Species that you do not want Horizon Client to
retry connecting in the case of an error occurring.
You should usually specify this option if you use
kiosk mode, and use the exit code to handle the
error. Otherwise, you might nd it dicult to kill
the vmware-view process remotely.
If you are seing the conguration key, specify
"TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.rdesktopOptions --rdesktopOptions=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Species command-line options to
forward to the rdesktop application. For
information about rdesktop options, see the
rdesktop documentation.
Example of using the command-line option:
--rdesktopOptions="-f -m"
None
-r, --redirect=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Species a local device that you want
rdesktop to redirect to the View desktop.
Specify the device information that you want to
pass to the -r option of rdesktop. You can set
multiple device options in a single command.
Example of using the command-line option:
--redirect="sound:off"
view.rdpClient --rdpclient=
(Available if you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol) Species which type of RDP client to
use. The default is rdesktop. To use FreeRDP
instead, specify xfreerdp.
N To use FreeRDP, you must have the correct
version of FreeRDP installed, along with any
applicable patches. For more information, see
“Install and Congure FreeRDP,” on page 47.
None
--save
Saves the user name and domain name that were
last used to successfully log in so that you do not
need to enter the user name or domain name the
next time you are prompted to supply login
credentials.
view.sendCtrlAltDelToLocal
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or PCoIP
display protocol) When set to "TRUE", sends the
key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del to the client system
rather than opening a dialog box to prompt the
user to disconnect from the View desktop. Default
is "FALSE".
N If you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol, you can achieve this functionality by
using the -K option; for example, vmware-view -
K.
This option has the same priority as the seing in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config le.
