Syntax for the --agentURLPattern Option in Omnissa Horizon 8

When you use the vdmutil command on an Omnissa Horizon Connection Server instance to create a URL Content Redirection setting, you type a quoted string that specifies the URL, or URLs, that should be opened on the remote desktop or published application in the --agentURLPattern option.

The quoted string contains a regular expression and must include the protocol prefix. You can use wildcards to specify a URL pattern that matches multiple URLs.

The following table describes some sample URL patterns.

Agent URL PatternDescription
".*"All client URLs are redirected to the remote desktop or published application.
"http://google.*"All client URLs that include the text google are redirected to the remote desktop or published application.
"http://acme.com/software"All client URLs that include the text acme.com and the subdirectory /software are redirected to the remote desktop or published application. For example, http://www.acme.com/software is redirected. Also, http://www.acme.com/software/consumer is redirected.
