defaultLaunchView Sets the default launch view for Horizon Client. Valid values are recent
and servers.
desktopProtocol For remote desktops, valid values are PCOIP and BLAST. For example, to
specify PCoIP, use the syntax desktopProtocol=PCOIP.
domainName The NETBIOS domain name associated with the user who is connecting to
the remote desktop or published application. For example, you might use
mycompany rather than mycompany.com.
tokenUserName Specifies the RSA or RADIUS user name. Use this query only if the RSA or
RADIUS user name is different from the Active Directory user name. If you
do not specify this query and RSA or RADIUS authentication is required,
the Windows user name is used. The syntax is tokenUserName=name.
unauthenticatedAccess
Enabled
If this option is set to true, the Unauthenticated Access feature is enabled
by default. If this option is set to false, the Unauthenticated Access feature
is disabled. When this option is set to "", the Unauthenticated Access
feature is disabled. The Log in anonymously using Unauthenticated
Access option is available in the Horizon Client settings. An example of the
syntax is unauthenticatedAccessEnabled=true.
unauthenticatedAccess
Account
Sets the account to use if the Unauthenticated Access feature is enabled. If
Unauthenticated Access is disabled, then this query is ignored. An example
of the syntax using the anonymous1 user account is
unauthenticatedAccessAccount=anonymous1.
Examples of vmware-view URIs
You can create hypertext links or buttons with the vmware-view URI scheme and include these links in
email or on a Web page. Your end users can click these links to, for example, open a particular remote
desktop with the startup options you specify.
URI Syntax Examples
Each URI example is followed by a description of what the end user sees after clicking the URI link.
1
vmware-view://view.mycompany.com/Primary%20Desktop?action=start-session
Horizon Client starts and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. The login box prompts the
user for a user name, domain name, and password. After a successful login, the client connects to
the desktop whose display name is displayed as Primary Desktop, and the user is logged in to the
guest operating system.
Note The default display protocol and window size are used. The default display protocol is PCoIP.
The default window size is full screen.
