VMWare View Client
I am starting work at a new company, and they have a smart card (is it really that smart?) implementation that uses VMWare View client. I had to install the Aladdin eToken application.
I have to insert my smart card, and then open up the VMWare View client, it will ask for a password, and VIOLA, i am connected.
Having to:
1. Insert a card
2. Open up the VMWare View Client
3. Enter a password
is 2 steps too many!
Can this be implemented into remote desktop manager?
The steps I can think are:
1. Insert a card
2. Open up the VMWare Client connection in Remote Desktop Manager
(Or is it already there, and I am too stupid to find it?)

Hi,
I'm not a VMware expert. Have you tried the VMware session type in RDM? You can enter a password. Let me know what error you get please.

Possible, we had an issue with the VMWare dashboard when you had VMWare vSphere PowerCLI from the 5.0.0.0 to 5.1.0.4977.
Do you have anything in the log files (Help -> Application Log…)

Not sure what the issue might be, the command line arguments have not changed.
Two things we can try. In the Details tab of the VMWare View Client session uncheck "Non interactive" & "Start in unattended mode". What is the error message that you are getting now?
What if you start it command line? Something like:
wswc.exe -serverURL "http://192.168.1.9" -desktopName vm2 -logInAsCurrentUser false -userName root -password pass1 -connectUSBOnStartup false -connectUSBOnInsert false > log.txt
Check the content of the log.txt file for error messages.
Does that work for you? Please let me know.
