where the VMware server is located.

attempts to connect to the next server on the list if
the current one fails. List items must be separated by
semicolons or commas.

Interactive={yes, no} Yes/no option to enable interactive connection mode.
LocalCopy={no, yes} Yes/no option to save this connection in the local

server. Either a conventional log-in password or a
variable can be used.

when the connection is made. This application server
password directive never starts a line, so it can be
distinguished from the thin client user sign-on
password (which starts a line).

application connections, a ping (ICMP) is sent to the
host server prior to connecting to verify that the host
