Setting Computer User Description
Allow command line
credentials
X Determines whether user credentials can be provided
with View Client command line options. If this setting
is enabled, the smartCardPIN and password options
are not available when users run View Client from the
command line.
This setting is enabled by default.
Brokers Trusted For
Delegation
X Specifies the View Connection Server instances that
accept
the user identity and credential information that
is passed when a user selects the Log in as current user
check box. If you do not specify any View Connection
Server instances, all View Connection Server instances
accept this information.
To add a View Connection Server instance, use one of
the following formats:

The Service Principal Name (SPN) of the View
Connection Server service.
Default value of the 'Log in
as current user' checkbox
X X Specifies the default value of the Log
in as current user
check box on the View Client connection dialog box.
This setting overrides the default value specified
during View Client installation.
If a user runs View Client from the command line and
specifies the logInAsCurrentUser option, that value
overrides this setting.
When the Log in as current user check box is selected,
the identity and credential information that the user
provided when logging in to the client system is passed
to the View Connection Server instance and ultimately
to the View desktop. When the check box is deselected,
users must provide identity and credential information
multiple times before they can access a View desktop.
This setting is disabled by default.
Display option to Log in as
current user
X X Determines whether the Log in as current user check
box
is visible on the View Client connection dialog box.
When the check box is visible, users can select or
deselect it and override its default value. When the
check box is hidden, users cannot override its default
value from the View Client connection dialog box.
You can specify the default value for the Log in as
current user check box by using the policy setting
Default value of the 'Log in as current
user' checkbox.
This setting is enabled by default.
Enable jump list integration
X Determines whether a jump list appears in the View
Client icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 and later
systems.
The jump list lets users connect to recent View
Connection Server instances and View desktops.
If View Client is shared, you might not want users to
see the names of recent desktops. You can disable the
jump list by disabling this setting.
This setting is enabled by default.
