[arch-general] vmware-view config help

[Rasmus Liland]

Dear arch-general list subscribers,

would someone here please be willing to 
help me a bit on configuring vmware-view 
(vmware-horizon-client in AUR)?

In Windows I have a prefs.txt config 
like this:

	<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<Root>
	  <RecentServer serverName="vmware.example.com" mruRSAUsername="rasmus" hasValidCert="true" lastLogInAsCurrentUser="false" localIMEEnable="false" serverGuid="12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012" serverCacheDir="C:\Users\rasmus\AppData\Local\VMware\VMware Horizon View Client\App Cache\12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012\">
	    <RecentDesktop desktopID="cn=theofficeoverthere-01,ou=applications,dc=vmware,dc=vmware,dc=int" connectUSBOnStartup="false" connectUSBOnInsert="false" resolutionWidth="0" resolutionHeight="0" remoteSystemDPI="0">
	      <LastMonitor monitorIndex="0"/>
	    </RecentDesktop>
	    <FileRedirection/>
	    <ShortCuts/>
	    <ShadowSettings FitToViewer="true"/>
	  </RecentServer>
	  <SecurityMode/>
	  <LastLoginAsCurrentUser/>
	  <BrokerJumpList>
	    <BrokerJump BrokerName="vmware.example.com" BrokerArguments="vmware-view://vmware.example.com/?"/>
	  </BrokerJumpList>
	  <DesktopJumpList>
	    <DesktopJump DesktopName="RemoteDesktop" DesktopArguments="vmware-view://@vmware.example.com/cn=theofficeoverthere-01,ou=applications,dc=vmware,dc=vmware,dc=int?&domainName=&desktopProtocol=BLAST&desktopLayout=multimonitor"/>
	  </DesktopJumpList>
	  <sharingList showPromptDlg="true" shareHomeDirectory="false" allowAccessRemovable="false"/>
	  <GeolocationSharingSettings/>
	  <BlastSettings/>
	</Root>

When I try to connect like this

	vmware-view \
	  -q \
	  -s wmware.example.com \
	  -u rasmus \
	  -t rasmus \
	  -n "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"

I get the SMS and almost connect, but 
fail.  I'm so close, yet so far away :-\ 

The same happens if I change 

	  -n "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"

to 

	  -n "cn=theofficeoverthere-01,ou=applications,dc=vmware,dc=vmware,dc=int"

I have looked at the logs, and have a 
hunch I might also need to grab a 
certificate pair also from somewhere to 
somewhere, or perhaps this hunch is 
unfounded as I get to step to with the 
SMS there ... 

Perhaps someone here is familiar with 
this ...
