Connecting Clients
By default, the account name is based on the MAC address of the kiosk endpoint and has an automatically
generated password. To assign a client ID instead of the MAC address, specify the client ID in the form
custom-xxxxx
.
For example, to connect a Windows client with an assigned client ID and password:
vmware view.exe -unattended -serverURL 192.168.13.245 -userName custom-csh1
-password "VMware1!"
Note: It is not necessary to specify the -userName option for clients in kiosk mode when using the MAC
address of the client device.
