Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.defaultPassword
-p "-", --password="-" For VMware Blast, PCoIP, and rdesktop

password from stdin.

connections and adds the password to the
Password field in the authentication dialog box if
View Connection Server accepts password
authentication.
Note You cannot use a blank password. That is,
you cannot specify --password=""
view.defaultProtocol --protocol=
Specifies which display protocol to use. Specify
"PCOIP" or "RDP". These values are case-
sensitive. For example, if you enter rdp the
protocol used will be the default. Default is the
setting specified in View Administrator, under pool
settings for the pool.
If you use RDP and you want to use FreeRDP
rather than rdesktop, you must also use the
rdpClient setting.
view.defaultUser
-u, --userName= Sets the user name that Horizon Client uses for all
connections and adds the user name that you
specify to the User Name field in the
authentication dialog box.

on the client's MAC address, or it can begin with a
recognized prefix string, such as custom-.

If set to "FALSE" (the default), the application is
launched in full screen mode.
view.enableMMR
None Enables multimedia redirection (MMR).
Specify "TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
view.fullScreen --fullscreen
Hides the host operating system and opens the
Horizon Client user interface in full screen mode
on one monitor. This option does not affect the
screen mode of the desktop session.
If you are setting the configuration key, specify
"TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is "FALSE".
