Option Property Setting
Create links for specific installers
The following examples show full URLs, but you can use relative URLs if
you place the installer files in the downloads directory, which is under the
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\broker\webapps\
directory on View Connection Server, as described in the next step.
n
32-bit Windows installer:
link.win32=https://server/downloads/VMware-Horizon-
Client.exe
n
64-bit Windows installer:
link.win64=https://server/downloads/VMware-Horizon-
Client.exe
n
Linux installer:
link.linux=https://server/downloads/VMware-Horizon-
Client.tar.gz
n
Mac OS X installer:
link.mac=https://server/downloads/VMware-Horizon-
Client.dmg
n
iOS installer:
link.ios=https://server/downloads/VMware-Horizon-Client-
iPhoneOS.zip
n
Android installer:
link.android=https://server/downloads/VMware-Horizon-
Client-AndroidOS.apk
n
Installer for an unknown OS (for example, you could use this property
for the Chrome client installer):
link.unknown=https://server/downloads/VMware-Horizon-
Client-AndroidOS-arm-ARC.apk
Change the URL for the Help link in
the login page
link.help
By default, this link points to a help system hosted on the VMware Web
site. The Help link appears at the bottom of the login page.
3 To have users download installers from a location other than the VMware Web site, place the installer
files on the HTTP server where the installer files will reside.
This location must correspond to the URLs you specified in the portal-links-html-access.properties
file from the previous step. For example, to place the files in a downloads directory on the View
Connection Server host, use the following path:
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\broker\webapps\downloads
The links to the installer files could then use relative URLs with the format /downloads/client-
installer-file-name.
4 Restart the View Web Component service.
Using URIs to Configure HTML Access Web Clients
Using uniform resource identifiers (URIs), you can create a Web page or an email with links that end users
click to launch the HTML Access Web client, connect to View Connection Server, and launch a specific
desktop with specific configuration options.
You can simplify the process of connecting to a remote desktop by creating Web or email links for end users.
You create these links by constructing URIs that provide some or all of the following information, so that
your end users do not need to supply it:
n
View Connection Server address
n
Port number for View Connection Server
