Table 8-6. View Client Configuration Template: Scripting Definitions (Continued)
Setting Description
Server URL
Specifies the URL that View Client uses during login, for example,
http://view1.example.com.
Suppress error messages (when fully
scripted only)
Determines whether View Client error messages are hidden during login.
This setting applies only when the login process is fully scripted, for
example, when all the required login information is prepopulated through
policy.
If the login fails because of incorrect login information, the user is not
notified and the View Client wswc.exe process continues to run in the
background.
Security Settings
Table 8-7 describes the security settings in the View Client Configuration ADM template file. Security settings
include both Computer Configuration and User Configuration settings. The User Configuration setting
overrides the equivalent Computer Configuration setting.
Table 8-7. View Client Configuration Template: Security Settings
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:
n
domain\system$
n
system$@domain.com
n
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.
