vmware-view://

Horizon Client starts and the user is taken to the page for entering the address of a server.

vmware-view://10.10.10.10/My%20Notepad++?args=%22My%20new%20file.txt%22

Launches My Notepad++ on server 10.10.10.10 and passes the argument My new file.txt in the

application launch command. The lename is enclosed in double quotes because it contains spaces.

vmware-view://10.10.10.10/Notepad++%2012?args=a.txt%20b.txt

Launches Notepad++ 12 on server 10.10.10.10 and passes the argument a.text b.txt in the application

launch command. Because the argument is not enclosed in quotes, a space separates the lenames and

the two les are opened separately in Notepad++.

N Applications can dier in the way they use command line arguments. For example, if you pass

the argument a.txt b.txt to Wordpad, Wordpad will open only one le, a.txt.

vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Notepad?

unauthenticatedAccessEnabled=true&unauthenticatedAccessAccount=anonymous1

Horizon Client starts and connects to the view.mycompany.com server using the anonymous1 user account.

The Notepad application is launched without prompting the user to provide login credentials.

HTML Code Examples

You can use URIs to make hypertext links and buons to include in emails or on Web pages. The following

examples show how to use the URI from the rst URI example to code a hypertext link that says, Test Link,

and a buon that says, .

<html>

<body>

<a href="vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-session">Test

Link</a><br>

<form><input type="button" value="TestButton" onClick="window.location.href=

'vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-session'"></form> <br>

</body>

</html>

Configuring Certificate Checking for End Users

You can congure the certicate verication mode so that, for example, full verication is always performed.

Certicate checking occurs for SSL connections between Connection Server and Horizon Client. You can

congure the verication mode to use one of the following strategies:

End users are allowed to choose the verication mode. The rest of this list describes the three

verication modes.

(No verication) No certicate checks are performed.

(Warn) End users are warned if a self-signed certicate is being presented by the server. Users can

choose whether or not to allow this type of connection.

(Full security) Full verication is performed and connections that do not pass full verication are

rejected.

For more information about the types of verication checks performed, see “Seing the Certicate Checking

Mode in Horizon Client,” on page 56.
