(Continued)
Setting Computer User Description
Redirect smart card readers
in Local Mode
X Determines whether smart card readers are redirected
to
local desktops. The readers are shared with the client
system.
This setting is enabled by default.
Tunnel proxy bypass address
list
X Specifies a list of tunnel addresses. The proxy server is
not used for these addresses. Use a semicolon (;) to
separate multiple entries.
URL for View Client online
help
X Specifies an alternate URL from which View Client can
retrieve help pages. This setting is intended for use in
environments that cannot retrieve the remotely-hosted
help system because they do not have internet access.
Pin the shade
X Determines whether the pin on the shade at the top of
the View Client window is enabled and autohiding of
the menu bar does not occur. This setting has no effect
if the shade is disabled. This setting is enabled by
default.
USB Settings for the View Client
You can define USB policy settings for both View Agent and View Client for Windows. On connection, View
Client
downloads the USB policy settings from View Agent and uses them in conjunction with the View Client
USB policy settings to decide which devices it will allow to be available for redirection from the host machine.
Table 8-13 describes each policy setting for splitting composite USB in the View Client Configuration ADM
template file. The settings apply at computer level. View Client preferentially reads the settings from the GPO
at computer level, and otherwise from the registry at HKLM\Software\Policies\VMware, Inc.\VMware
VDM\Client\USB. For a description of how View applies the policies for splitting composite USB devices, see
“Configuring Device Splitting Policy Settings for Composite USB Devices,” on page 199.
Table 8-13. View Client Configuration Template: USB Splitting Settings
Setting Properties
Allow Auto Device
Splitting
Allow the automatic splitting of composite USB devices.
The default value is undefined, which equates to false.
Exclude Vid/Pid Device
From Split
Excludes a composite USB device specified by vendor and product IDs from splitting. The
format of the setting is vid-xxx1_pid-yyy2[;vid-xxx2_pid-yyy2]...
You
must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal. You can use the wildcard character (*) in place
of individual digits in an ID.
For example: vid-0781_pid-55**
The default value is undefined.
Split Vid/Pid Device
Treats the components of a composite USB device specified by vendor and product IDs as
separate devices. The format of the setting is
vid-xxxx_pid-yyyy(exintf:zz[;exintf:ww ])
You
can use the exintf keyword to exclude components from redirection by specifying their
interface number. You must specify ID numbers in hexadecimal, and interface numbers in
decimal including any leading zero. You can use the wildcard character (*) in place of
individual digits in an ID.
For example: vid-0781_pid-554c(exintf:01;exintf:02)
NOTE View does not automatically include the components that you have not explicitly
excluded. You must specify a filter policy such as Include Vid/Pid Device to include those
components.
The default value is undefined.
