Value Description

lost. Reseing a remote desktop is the equivalent of pressing the
Reset buon on a physical PC. This action is not valid for an
application.

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, open 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. Queries
are not case-sensitive. For example, you can use domainName or domainname.

https://view.mycompany.com/?domainName=finance&userName=fred

box, the User name text box is populated with the name fred, and the Domain text box is populated
with . The user must supply only a password.

https://view.mycompany.com/?desktopId=Primary%20Desktop&action=start-session
The HTML Access Web client is launched 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.

https://view.mycompany.com/?applicationId=Notepad&action=start-session
The HTML Access Web client is launched 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 Notepad
application is launched.

https://view.mycompany.com:7555/?desktopId=Primary%20Desktop
This URI has the same eect as the previous example, except that it uses the nondefault port of 7555 for
View Connection Server. (The default port is 443.) Because a desktop identier is provided, the desktop
is launched even though the start-session action is not included in the URI.
5
https://view.mycompany.com/?applicationId=Primary%20Application&desktopId=Primary%20Desktop
This URI species both an application and a desktop. When you specify both an application and a
desktop, only the desktop is launched.
6
https://view.mycompany.com/?desktopId=Primary%20Desktop&action=reset
The HTML Access Web client is launched 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
displays a dialog box that prompts the user to conrm the reset operation for Primary Desktop.
N This action is available only if the View administrator has allowed end users to reset their
machines.
