The text must be enclosed in double quotation marks if it contains spaces or punctuation characters. These characters are not allowed: & ` " $ ? ! | ; ( ) [ ] { } \
Icon=image file
Specifies an icon to appear on the local desktop or Connection Manager. The file must be located in the wlx/bitmap directory on the server. If no image file is specified, the default icon is displayed (except in the case of a published application). Supported file types are PNG, JPEG, and GIF, as well as XPM for backward compatibility.
Mode={kiosk, normal}
Launches Firefox in kiosk or normal mode. (In kiosk mode, Firefox appears full-screen on the desktop, and the user has no access to the address bar.)
Reconnect={no, yes}
Specifies whether to enable automatic reconnection to an application server after a disconnection.
ReconnectSeconds={seconds}
Specifies the amount of time in seconds (default is 30) to wait before automatic reconnection to an application server after a disconnection. Requires Reconnect=yes or 1.
To create XenDesktop server connections, use the Mozilla Firefox Connect options to specify the URL of the XenDesktop server to which users must connect. When the server URL is specified in the INI configuration, Firefox opens to this URL and the user can enter their credentials to initiate the connection to the HVD.
Caution In the above example, replace xd.company.com with the URL of your XenDesktop server.
With the optional Autoconnect=yes parameter specified in the preceding example, the browser connects to the specified URL when the client boots up. In addition, the optional Reconnect=yes and ReconnectSeconds=5 parameters specify to reconnect a disconnected connection after 5 seconds. Finally, the optional mode=kiosk parameter specifies to operate in kiosk mode, in which Firefox operates in full-screen mode with no access to the address bar.
RDP Connect Options
Table A-2 contains the supported options you can use for RDP connections.
Specifies whether to start a connection automatically after sign-on. Default is no.
Colors={256, 64k, High, 16m}
Specifies the session color mode. For faster display performance, use 256 colors.
Default is 64k or High (these options are the same).
Command=start command
Lists a string of commands to be executed after logging in to the server. The maximum is 127 characters.
Description=string description
Specifies a connection name for the Desktop icon and the Connection Manager.
Caution The text must be enclosed in double quotation marks if it contains spaces or punctuation characters. These characters are not allowed: & ` " $ ? ! | ; ( ) [ ] { } \
Directory=working directory
Specifies a directory to be used as the working directory after logging in to the server. The maximum is 63 characters.
DomainName={Windows domain name, $DN}
Specifies the domain name in a Windows network. $DN specifies to use the thin client sign-on domain name.
Maps drives on the server to USB mass storage devices that are attached to the thin client, where drive letter=A to Z floppy=USB floppy cdrom=USB CDROM disk=USB drive or memory rw=read/write ro=read only basedir=an optional directory on the USB device to use.
Note Be sure each drive command is separated by a space.
Encryption=none
If you specify none, no encryption is used.
Note Use this option when connecting to a server with data encryption between the communication of the server and the client.
FullScreen={no, yes}
Runs the session at full screen (not in a window).
* Host=host[;host...]
Specifies a host or lists of host values. The thin client attempts to connect to the next server on the list if the current one fails. You must separate list items by semicolons or commas.
Note This option is mandatory.
Icon=image file
Specifies an icon to appear on the thin client desktop for this connection. The file must be located in the server wlx/bitmap directory. If no image file is specified, the default icon is displayed (except in the case of a published application). Supported file types are PNG, JPEG, and GIF, as well as XPM for backward compatibility.
LowBand={no, yes}
Specifies whether to enable optimization for low-speed connections, such as reducing audio quality and/or decreasing protocol-specific cache size.
LPTports=LPTx={LPTy, USBLPz}, LPTx=...
Maps parallel devices on the server to parallel devices on the thin client, where x=1 to 4; if LPTy, map to that parallel port on the thin client; if USBLPz, map to that USB parallel port.
Note Be sure each serial device command is separated by a comma and space.
Note Windows 2000 servers do not support LPT port mapping.
Password={password must be base-64 encoded, $SN, $MAC, $IP, $UN, $PW, $TN}
Specifies the password for login to the application server. You can specify either a conventional login password or a variable.
Variable and Description
password—Conventional login password $SN—Serial number $MAC—MAC address $IP—IP address $UN—Sign-on name $PW—Sign-on password $TN—Terminal name
Caution The application server password is not encrypted; not specifying it is strongly recommended. The user will be prompted to enter the password when the connection is made. This application server password directive never starts a line so it can be distinguished from the thin client user sign-on password, which starts a line.
ping={yes, no}
Specifies whether to enable ping. For nonpublished application connections, the thin client sends an ICMP ping to the host server before connecting to verify that the host is reachable.
Default is yes
Protocol={4, 5}
Access servers running RDP 4 or RDP 5. To access servers running RDP 4, set the protocol to 4.
Default is 5 (access servers running RDP 5)
Reconnect={yes, no}
Controls automatic reconnection to an application server after a disconnection.
Option Value and Action
yes—(default) Immediately restarts the connection 30 seconds after a disconnect. The default for a reconnection is 30 seconds. no—Does not reconnect after a disconnect.
ReconnectSeconds={1...3600}
Specifies the interval to wait (in seconds, an integer, 1...3600) before automatically restarting the connection after a disconnection. Valid range is 1 to 3600.
Specifies whether to start a connection automatically at sign-on. Default is no.

Note This option is mandatory.
Interactive={yes, no}
Specifies whether to enable interactive connection mode.
Password={password must be base-64 encoded, $SN, $MAC, $IP, $UN, $PW, $TN}

Variable and Description
password—Conventional login password $SN—Serial number $MAC—MAC address $IP—IP address $UN—Sign-on name $PW—Sign-on password $TN—Terminal name
Caution The application server password is not encrypted; not specifying it is strongly recommended. The user will be prompted to enter the password when the connection is made.
