NimbostratusI am deploying APM to replace a NetScaler acting as Access Gateway for a Xen Desktop deployment. The clients are HP Thin Client devices. Each user is assigned a single virtual desktop within Citrix. We have used the f5.citrix_xenapp_xendesktop.2012_06_27 iApp. How could we auto-launch the Xen Desktop upon login?
CirrusA bit more information would be helpful. Which HP Thin client devices are you using? Are they running Windows Embedded OS or are they zero client? Are you leveraging a browser or using Citrix Receiver directly? You want user to launch XenDesktop right after they login to APM?
NimbostratusThey are t5565 with zero client. They are using Firefox to contact the Access Gateway or APM. We would like to launch the XenDesktop after APM login.
CirrusThanks, David, that certainly answers quite a few things. Last question - are you looking to replace Citrix Web Interface and/or StoreFront servers with APM, or are you looking to deploy integration mode?
NimbostratusWe are replacing WI.
CirrusGreat. And last question... Does everything work manually - i.e. are users able to successfully launch their XenDesktop manually by clicking on the Desktop icon?
NimbostratusYes. Everything works fine. They just want it to launch automatically like Citrix used to.
NimbostratusHi,
I am currently deploying a test presales environment with similar needs: customers want a specific XenApp to launch automatically after login. LTM with APM provides Authentication direct connection to XML brokers, without Web Interfaces. Is there any advance in this situation since last post?
