Connecting to host from command line on Mac

d0g0 — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:30:04 GMT

Based on Horizon Client Configuration Settings and Command-Line Options, I'm trying to connect to a host from a Mac with this:

/Applications/VMware\ Horizon\ Client.app/Contents/MacOS/vmware-view \
--nonInteractive \
--serverURL="https://example.com" \
--userName="user" --password="pass"

But I still get presented with a dialog asking for password:

... after which, I have to authenticate using MS Authenticator, and then enter my password a second time to get to the desktop:

Is there any way to make it truly nonInteractive (other than approving via authenticator) ?

Your page https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Linux/2111/horizon-client-linux-installation/GUID-AB6F0B4D-03DD-4E7A-AE16-BAB77CE4D42D.html is only for Linux Client not for Mac Client. Mac Client does not support any command-line option. And it's not a good way to launch any app with the executor directly on macOS, it may get unexpected results.

Hello @TigerQ , so that mens that at the moment there is no way to send a little configuration file to have at least the server to connect to to be auto populated ?

Would you know if this feature has already been requested through aha ideas ?

Thanks,

Anton
