Adding Applications

Scenarios

After deploying an application on a server, the administrator needs to create an application group associated with the server on the console, add the application to be used by users to the application group, and authorize users to use the application.

Prerequisites

An application group has been created and associated with a server group.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Workspace Application Streaming console as an administrator.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose Application Groups. The Application Groups is displayed.
  3. Click an application group name. The Applications page is displayed.
  4. Click Add App. The Publish Application page is displayed.

    • If App Source is set to Private, perform steps 5 to 6.
    • If App Source is set to Custom, perform steps 7 to 8.

  5. Select applications to be published from the application list.

    Applications with the same name cannot be added to the same application group.

  6. Click OK.
  7. See the following table for adding a custom application.

    Running in Sandbox Mode
    Sandbox application scenarios:
    • Software that cannot be opened in multiple remote sessions at the same time can be opened in the sandbox.

    Sandbox usage restrictions:

    • The sandbox data is stored in the sandbox. If the sandbox is deleted, everything will be cleared.
    • If the file is too large, it cannot be copied to the sandbox for editing. It can only be read-only.
      NOTE:

      Ensure that the application sandbox software has been installed on the associated server group instance. Otherwise, the application cannot be started.

    Selected

    Sandbox Application Path

    Installation location of the sandbox application file.

    For example, Sandboxie software: C:\Program Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe\Start.exe

    Version

    You can set this parameter based on the actual situation.

    If the application is running in sandbox mode, add the sandbox application version.

    -

    Publisher

    You can set this parameter based on the actual situation.

    If the application is running in sandbox mode, add the sandbox application publisher.

    -

    Working Directory
    • Installation directory of the running file in non-sandbox mode, for example, C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer
    • Installation directory of sandbox application files, for example, Sandboxie software: C:\Program Files\Sandboxie

    The working directory involves reading the configuration file and searching for the dependent library path.

    -

    Command Parameter
    • Command line format for common applications: Add command lines as required.
    • Format: Command + Space + Path of the app started in sandbox mode.

    Example: /box:DefaultBox "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

    NOTE:

    The path of the app to be started in sandbox mode must be enclosed in double quotation marks ("").
