Table 22. Horizon Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys (Continued)
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.sendCtrlAltDelToLocal
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or PCoIP
display protocol) When set to "TRUE", sends the
key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del to the client system
rather than opening a dialog box to prompt the
user to disconnect from the View desktop. Default
is "FALSE".
Note If you use the Microsoft RDP display
protocol, you can achieve this functionality by
using the -K option; for example, vmware-view -
K.
This option has the same priority as the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
view.sendCtrlAltDelToVM
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or PCoIP
display protocol) When set to "TRUE", sends the
key combination Ctrl+Alt+Del to the virtual
desktop rather than opening a dialog box to
prompt the user to disconnect from the View
desktop. Default is "FALSE".
This option has a higher priority than the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
view.sendCtrlAltInsToVM
None (Available if you use the VMware Blast or PCoIP
display protocol) When set to "TRUE", sends the
key combination Ctrl+Alt+Ins to the virtual desktop
rather than sending Ctrl+Alt+Del. Default is
"FALSE".
Note To use this feature, you must also set the
agent-side GPO policy called "Use alternate key
for sending Secure Attention Sequence," available
in the pcoip.adm template. See the topic called
"PCoIP Keyboard Settings" in the "Configuring
Policies for Desktop and Application Pools"
chapter of the Configuring Remote Desktop
Features in Horizon 7 document.
This option has a lower priority than the setting in
the /etc/vmware/view-keycombos-config file.
view.shareRemovableStorage
None When set to "TRUE", enables the Allow access
to removable storage option. Default is "TRUE".
view.sslCipherString --sslCipherString=
Configures the cipher list to restrict the use of
certain cryptographic algorithms before
establishing an encrypted SSL connection.
For a list of cipher strings, see
http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html .
The default for Horizon Client is "!aNULL:kECDH
