Table 3‑3. Valid Values for the desktopLayout Query
Value Description
fullscreen
Full screen on one monitor. This is the default.
multimonitor
Full screen on all monitors.
windowLarge
Large window.
windowSmall
Small window.
WxH
Custom resolution, where you specify the width by height,
in pixels. An example of the syntax is
desktopLayout=1280x800.
desktopProtocol
For remote desktops, valid values are RDP, PCOIP, and BLAST. For example, to
specify PCoIP, use the syntax desktopProtocol=PCOIP.
domainName
The NETBIOS domain name associated with the user who is connecting to
the remote desktop or application. For example, you would use mycompany
rather than mycompany.com.
filePath
Specifies the path to the file on the local system that you want to open with
the remote application. You must use the full path, including drive letter.
Use percent encoding for the following characters:
n
For a colon (:), use %3A
n
For a back slash (\), use %5C
n
For a space ( ), use %20
For example, to represent file path C:\test file.txt, use
C%3A%5Ctest%20file.txt.
tokenUserName
Specifies 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. The syntax is tokenUserName=name.
unattended
Creates a server connection to a remote desktop in kiosk mode. If you use
this query, do not specify user information if you generated the account
name from the MAC address of the client device. If you created custom
account names in ADAM, however, such as names that begin with "custom-"
you must specify the account information.
useExisting
If this option is set to true, only one Horizon Client instance can run. If users
try to connect to a second Connection Server, they must log out of the first
Connection Server, causing desktop and application sessions to be
disconnected. If this option is set to false, multiple Horizon Client instances
can run and users can connect to multiple Connection Servers at the same
time. The default is true. An example of the syntax is useExisting=false.
