VMware View Open Client 4.0 Beta 1

Duncan Epping · Oct 3, 2009 ·

Just noticed that a new version of the VMware View Open Client has been released:

Latest Release: 4.0.0 Beta 1 (October 2, 2009)

VMware View Open Client version 4.0.0 Beta 1 is now available on the Downloads page.

Please see the release announcement for a summary of what’s included in this release.

Features

Some of the features included are:

  • Ability to create a secure tunnel using SSL
  • Support for two factor authentication with RSA SecurID
  • Novell SLETC Add-On RPM package
  • Full command line interface

The following features are NOT included in this release:

  • USB redirection
  • Multiple desktop sessions
  • Multimedia redirection

For a full list of features please refer to the README.txt file available with the distribution.

Compatibility

This release is compatible with VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) 2.0, 2.1, and VMware View Manager 3.0 and 3.1.

If I have some time on my hands I will try to make a bootable stripped Linux CD that holds this client, or maybe a USB key is a better idea…. let me think about it.

    Been using this at work and noticed it times out quicker than the windows client when waiting for a vm to power on.

    You generally need to kill the Apps and relaunch a few minutes later.

    Also mmr does appear to be working. At least when logging into a vista vm.
