Supported Queries
This topic lists the queries that are supported for the HTML Access Web client. If you are creating URIs for
multiple types of clients, such as desktop clients and mobile clients, see the Using VMware Horizon Client
guide for each type of client system.
domainName

the remote desktop or application. For example, you would use mycompany
rather than mycompany.com.
userName
The Active Directory user who is connecting to the remote desktop or
application.
tokenUserName
The RSA or RADIUS user name. Use this query only if the RSA or RADIUS
user name is dierent 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.
desktopId
The desktop display name. This name is the one specied in View
Administrator when the desktop pool was created. If the display name has a
space in it, the browser will automatically use %20 to represent the space.

Administrator when the application pool was created. If the display name
has a space in it, the browser will automatically use %20 to represent the

Value Description
browse
Displays a list of available desktops and applications hosted on the
specied server. You are not required to specify a desktop or
application when using this action.
start-session
Launches the specied desktop or application. If no action query is
provided and the desktop or application name is provided,
start-session is the default action.

desktop. This action is not valid for an application.
Examples of URIs
You can create hypertext links or buons with a URI and include these links in email or on a Web page. Your
end users can click these links to, for example, launch a particular remote desktop or application 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. Note
that queries are not case-sensitive. For example, you can use domainName or domainname.
