Table 2‑4. View Client Command-Line Options and Configuration File Keys
Configuration Key Command-Line Option Description
view.allMonitors --allmonitors
Hides the host operating system and
opens the View Client user interface in
full screen mode across all monitors that
are connected when View Client is
launched.
If you are setting the configuration key,
specify "TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is
"FALSE".
view.allowDefaultBroker -l, --lockServer
Example:
--lockServer -s view.company.com
Using this command-line option, or
setting the property to "FALSE", disables
the Server Name field unless the client
has never connected to any server, and
no server address is provided in the
command line or the preferences file.
view.autoConnectBroker
None Automatically connects to the last View
server used unless the
view.defaultBroker configuration
property is set or unless the
--serverURL= command-line option is
used.
Specify "TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is
"FALSE".
Setting this property and the
view.autoConnectDesktop property to
"TRUE" is the equivalent of setting the
view.nonInteractive property to
"TRUE".
view.autoConnectDesktop
None Automatically connects to the last View
desktop used unless the
view.defaultDesktop configuration
property is set or unless the
--desktopName= command-line option
is used.
Specify "TRUE" or "FALSE". Default is
"FALSE".
Setting this property and the
view.autoConnectBroker property to
"TRUE" is the equivalent of setting the
view.nonInteractive property to
"TRUE".

Examples:
--serverURL=https://view.company.com
-s view.company.com
--serverURL=view.company.com:1443

Server Name field in View Client.

You can also specify a port number if you
do not use the default 443.
Default is the most recently used value.
view.defaultDesktop -n, --desktopName=
Specifies which desktop to use when
autoConnectDesktop is set to "TRUE"
and the user has access to multiple
desktops.
This is the name you would see in the
Select Desktop dialog box. The name is
usually the pool name.
