The HTML Access Web client is launched and connects to the horizon.mycompany.com server. In
the login box, the User name text box is populated with the name fred@finance. The user must
supply only a password.

https://horizon.mycompany.com/?desktopId=Primary%20Desktop&action=start-session
The HTML Access Web client is launched and connects to the horizon.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.
5
https://horizon.mycompany.com/?applicationId=Notepad&action=start-session
The HTML Access Web client is launched and connects to the horizon.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.
6
https://horizon.mycompany.com:7555/?desktopId=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
is launched even though the start-session action is not included in the URI.
7
https://horizon.mycompany.com/?applicationId=Primary%20Application&desktopId=Primary%20Desktop
This URI specifies both an application and a desktop. When you specify both an application and a
desktop, only the desktop is launched.
8
https://horizon.mycompany.com/?desktopId=Primary%20Desktop&action=reset
The HTML Access Web client is launched and connects to the horizon.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 confirm the reset operation for Primary
Desktop.
Note This action is available only if the Horizon administrator has allowed end users to reset their
machines.
9
https://horizon.mycompany.com/?My%20Notepad++?args=%22My%20new%20file.txt%22
Opens My Notepad++ on server horizon.mycompany.com and passes the argument My new
file.txt in the application launch command. The filename is enclosed in double quotes because it
contains spaces.
