Parallels Client URL Scheme

Parallels RAS uses the following URL schemes to perform actions in Parallels Client installed on end user devices:

  • prlclient:// — the scheme that is currently used in Parallels RAS (RAS v15.5 and later versions).
  • tuxclient:// — this is a legacy scheme kept for backward compatibility with older versions of Parallels Client.

The actions that can be performed in Parallels Client include the following:

  • Configure a Parallels RAS or RDS connection using specific settings.
  • Launch a remote application by specifying the host, the application itself, and some other parameters.

Parallels Client URL schemes are supported on the following platforms:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • iOS
  • Android

Parallels RAS uses URL schemes in invitation emails and in the HTML5 Client. For more information, see Invite Users and Launching Remote Applications and Desktops .
