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.
You can change the defaults. See Using the Horizon Client Command-Line Interface and
Configuration Files.
2
vmware-view://view.mycompany.com:7555/Primary%20Desktop
This URI has the same effect as the previous example, except that it uses the nondefault port of 7555
for Connection Server. (The default port is 443.) Because a desktop identifier is provided, the desktop
opens even though the start-session action is not included in the URI.

password. After a successful login, the client connects to the desktop whose display name is
displayed as Finance Desktop, and the user is logged in to the guest operating system. The
connection uses the PCoIP display protocol.

must supply the user name, domain name, and password. After a successful login, the client
connects to the application whose display name is displayed as Calculator. The connection uses the
VMware Blast display protocol.
