Table 6‑1. Configuration Properties for USB Redirection (Continued)
Policy Name and Property Description
Allow Device Descriptor Failsafe
Property:
viewusb.AllowDevDescFailsafe
Allows devices to be redirected even if the Horizon Client fails to get the
cong/device descriptors.
To allow a device even if it fails the cong/desc, include it in the Include lters, such
IncludeVidPid or IncludePath.
The default value is undened, which equates to false.
Allow Keyboard and Mouse Devices
Property:
viewusb.AllowKeyboardMouse
Allows keyboards with integrated pointing devices (such as a mouse, trackball, or
touch pad) to be redirected.
The default value is undened, which equates to false.
Allow Smart Cards
Property:
viewusb.AllowSmartcard
Allows smart-card devices to be redirected.
The default value is undened, which equates to false.
Allow Video Devices
Property:
viewusb.AllowVideo
Allows video devices to be redirected.
The default value is undened, which equates to false because the Real-Time
Audio-Video feature is used for audio input and video devices, and USB redirection
is not used for those devices by default.
Disable Remote Conguration Download
Property:
viewusb.DisableRemoteConfig
Disables the use of View Agent seings when performing USB device ltering.
The default value is undened, which equates to false.
Exclude All Devices
Property:
viewusb.ExcludeAllDevices
Excludes all USB devices from being redirected. If set to true, you can use other
policy seings to allow specic devices or families of devices to be redirected. If set
to false, you can use other policy seings to prevent specic devices or families of
devices from being redirected.
If you set the value of Exclude All Devices to true on View Agent, and this
seing is passed to Horizon Client, the View Agent seing overrides the
Horizon Client seing.
The default value is undened, which equates to false.
Exclude Device Family
Property:
viewusb.ExcludeFamily
Excludes families of devices from being redirected. The format of the seing is
family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: bluetooth;smart-card
If you have enabled automatic device spliing, View examines the device family of
each interface of a composite USB device to decide which interfaces should be
excluded. If you have disabled automatic device spliing, View examines the device
family of the whole composite USB device.
The default value is undened.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
Property:
viewusb.ExcludeVidPid
Excludes devices with specied vendor and product IDs from being redirected. The
format of the seing is vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character
(*) in place of individual digits in an ID.
For example: vid-0781_pid-****;vid-0561_pid-554c
The default value is undened.
Exclude Path
Property:
viewusb.ExcludePath
Exclude devices at specied hub or port paths from being redirected. The format of
the seing is bus-x1[/y1]..._port-z1[;bus-x2[/y2]..._port-z2]...
You must specify bus and port numbers in hexadecimal. You cannot use the
wildcard character in paths.
For example: bus-1/2/3_port-02;bus-1/1/1/4_port-ff
The default value is undened.
Include Device Family
Property:
viewusb.IncludeFamily
Includes families of devices that can be redirected. The format of the seing is
family_name_1[;family_name_2]...
For example: storage
The default value is undened.
