Syntax for Configuring USB Redirection
You can configure filtering and splitting rules to exclude or include USB devices from being redirected to a
remote desktop. On a Mac client, you configure USB functionality by using Terminal
(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and running a command as root.
n
To list the rules:
# defaults read domain
For example:
# defaults read com.vmware.viewusb
n
To remove a rule:
# defaults delete domain property
For example:
# defaults delete com.vmware.viewusb ExcludeVidPid
n
To set or replace a filter rule:
# defaults write domain property value
For example:
# defaults write com.vmware.viewusb ExcludeVidPid vid-1234_pid-5678
Important Some configuration parameters require the VID (vendor ID) and PID (product ID) for a
USB device. To find the VID and PID, you can search on the Internet for the product name combined
with vid and pid. Alternatively, you can look in the USB Log file after you plug in the USB device to
the local system when Horizon Client is running. For more information, see Turn On Logging for USB
Redirection.

To set or replace a splitting rule for a composite device:
