Table 3‑11. Horizon Client Command-Line Options (Continued)
Option Description
-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
-unauthenticatedAccessEnabled
Species Unauthenticated Access behavior:
n
true enables Unauthenticated Access. The client may fall back to another
authentication method if Unauthenticated Access is not available. The
Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access seing is visible,
disabled, and selected in Horizon Client.
n
false requires you to enter your credentials to log in and access your
applications. The Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access
seing is hidden and deselected in Horizon Client.
If you do not specify this option, you can enable Unauthenticated Access in
Horizon Client. The Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated Access
seing is visible, enabled, and deselected.
