Supported Queries
This topic lists the queries that are supported for the HTML Access Web client. If you are creating URIs for
multiple types of clients, such as desktop clients and mobile clients, see the Using VMware Horizon Client
guide for each type of client system.
domainName
The NETBIOS domain name associated with the user who is connecting to
the remote desktop. For example, you would use mycompany rather than
mycompany.com.
userName
The Active Directory user who is connecting to the remote desktop.
tokenUserName
The RSA or RADIUS user name. Use this query only if the RSA or RADIUS
user name is different from the Active Directory user name. If you do not
specify this query and RSA or RADIUS authentication is required, the
Windows user name is used.
desktopId
The desktop display name. This name is the one specified in View
Administrator when the desktop pool was created. If the display name has a
space in it, the browser will automatically use %20 to represent the space.
action
Table 2‑1. Values That Can Be Used with the action Query
Value Description
browse
Displays a list of available desktops hosted on the specified server.
You are not required to specify a desktop when using this action.
start-session
Launches the specified desktop. If no action query is provided and
the desktop name is provided, start-session is the default
action.
reset
Shuts down and restarts the specified desktopn. Unsaved data is
lost. Resetting a remote desktop is the equivalent of pressing the
Reset button on a physical PC.
logoff

desktop.
Examples of URIs
You can create hypertext links or buttons with a URI and include these links in email or on a Web page.
Your end users can click these links to, for example, launch 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. Note
that queries are not case-sensitive. For example, you can use domainName or domainname.
1
https://view.mycompany.com/?domainName=finance&userName=fred
The HTML Access Web client is launched and connects to the view.mycompany.com server. In the login
box, the User name text box is populated with the name fred, and the Domain text box is populated
with finance. The user must supply only a password.
2
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.
