URL Format

A URL string always begins with the Parallels Client URL scheme. See the table in the previous section for a scheme supported on a specific platform. If both URL schemes are supported, you can use either one.

The first parameter that you include after the URL scheme is the Command parameter. It tells Parallels Client what kind of action should be performed. The available commands are:

• GetVersion — Allows to determine on the web server side which Parallels Client version is installed on a user device, or if the Parallels Client is installed at all.

• LaunchApp — Creates a connection, authenticates a user, launches a published resource.

• Get2xa — Performs the same actions as the LaunchApp command (above), but uses advanced security, which eliminates passing sensitive information (server name, user credentials, published resource info) in the URL itself.

• LogOff — Logs off the user from a session on a specified server or from all sessions on all servers.

The Command parameter is placed in the URL as shown in the following example:

tuxclient:///?Command=LaunchApp

Command options are specified after the command using the ampersand ("&") separator:

tuxclient:///?Command=LaunchApp&AppID=2360&ConnMode=0 ...

Note that the prlclient:// URL scheme uses the same exact format demonstrated here and in all other examples included in this chapter.
