The Default Solution, when using Storefront, is to follow CTX216893 or by changing as below:



We can use NetScaler Responder feature to force the Endpoint /Home/Configuration to return "defaultViews=auto" with a value of "apps" or "desktops".

We achieve this by creating a responder policy:

add responder policy res_pol_configuration "HTTP.REQ.URL.PATH.ENDSWITH(\"Home/Configuration\")" res_act_configuration2

The action we need if of the type "Responde with". The content of the action varies each version. If your version is not listed below or the sample doesn't work you will need to manually create the contents of the action: escape all / -> \/, escape all " -> \". Separate each line, following the example below. Note that each string contained between each " needs to be less than 255 chars.

13.0:

add responder action test_CTX262102-v130 respondwith "\n\"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\\r\\n\"+\n\"Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0\\r\\nConnection: close\\r\\nContent-Type: application/xml;
