Hello everybody… can anybody help me with using the Static Template Keys? Specifically I’m trying to use the HOSTNAME template key to pass as the username for a Horizon session. When I go into the Choose Template Key I can see the HOSTNAME Static Key but if I double click it it doesn’t show up in the box. I’ve tried manually adding it with ${HOSTNAME} but that doesn’t seem to work either… what am I missing here? Thanks!
Hello Nathan, just to get you right, you defined a Template key called HOSTNAME, you define a Template key Value let‘s say: ValueHostname. Right?
Then you are trying to assign the profile where Vmware View Login Username is: $HOSTNAME, then you assigned the Value ValueHostname, right?
Or did you thought that the actual network Hostname was passed through as Username?
Then:
copy this to a new profile, System,Firmware Customization,Custom commands,Network,Final network command:
setparam sessions.vdm_client0.options.username $(cat /etc/hostname)
killwait_postsetupd
write_rmsettings
The second item is what I was trying to achieve – though clearly going the wrong way about it! Thanks!
Happy to help! Keep my fingers crossed!
