Description

This article describes how to configure client to server content redirection with folder redirection.

“Configure content redirection from client to server by associating published applications with file types and then assigning them to the users you want to be affected. When you configure client to server content redirection, users running the online plug-in open all files of the associated type with applications published on the server. Content redirection from client to server is available only for users connecting with the online plug-in.”


Instructions

To enable content redirection, complete the following steps:
  1. Install the application on your XenApp server.

  2. Update file types from the registry after the application is installed. In the Access Management Console, right-click on one of your servers with the installed application and select All Tasks > Update file types from registry.

  3. Under Advanced > Content redirection, select Show all available file types for this application in the application properties. Select the file types that you want to associate. Following is a sample for Adobe Reader associating .pdf file types.

  1. In Web Interface, create a services site. After the services site is created, click Manage server farms > Advanced > Enable content redirection.

When the client logs in to the Program Neighborhood Agent plug-in, the associations are updated using the config.xml file. Launching a .pdf file from the client machine must open a published application on your XenApp server.

Folder Redirection

If folder redirection is enabled for the user, you must confirm that there is not a conflicting Active Directory group policy set on the terminal server. If Do not allow drive redirection is set to Disabled and the user tries to open a document in a redirected folder (such as, redirected documents on a network share), the published application opens, but not the document.

Leaving this Group Policy as not configured allows the document to pass through to the published application.

When troubleshooting issues, ensure the latest online plug-in is being used.
