Hard code authentication to Desktop

I am running VMware View 7.0, in my lab. I know this is a semi-unique use case. What I want:

1. User logs in to View with the username demo7.

2.They see all the desktops for this demo.

3. I would like to hard code it so when they connect to Desktop-001, it logs in a bob, and when they select Desktop-002, it logs in as Nancy.

Currently they have to login to the View Server as Bob, then open a 2nd connection to the view server as Nancy, in order to interact with both desktops.

Any ideas?

This might not answer your question, but one option is turn off SSO to the desktop so that you log in to Horizon as demo7, then we you launch a desktop you get prompted for username password to log in as anyone (as long as you know their username/password).

When SSO is enabled, it handles the desktop login automatically using the demo7 credentials. It has no knowledge of Bob or Nancy's password.
