Citrix Cloud services

ThinOS supports Citrix Cloud services. It acts as a single management console to deploy applications or desktops on any virtual or cloud

setup for a secure digital workspace. For more information about Citrix Cloud services, see the Citrix Cloud article at docs.citrix.com.

Citrix icon refresh

Citrix applications can be refreshed by clicking Refresh from PNMenu.

There are two methods to refresh the Citrix applications:

• Manual refresh

• Auto refresh using the INI parameter

Refresh Citrix applications automatically by using INI parameter

To automatically refresh the Citrix application, set the following INI parameter:

SessionConfig=ICA RefreshTimeOut=dd:hh:mm

For example, 01:01:22, means the application will start refresh automatically, every 1 day: 1 hour: 22 minutes.

Refresh Citrix applications manually

To refresh the Citrix application manually, do the following:

1. For single StoreFront or PNAgent server, change the application in broker, and click Refresh from PNMenu.

The following message is displayed in the lower right pane during application refresh.

2. Applications are refreshed in Session bar list, Connect Manager list and App menu list.

The following log is displayed in the Event Log window:

ICA: refresh store “xxx”…” or “ICA: refresh PNAgent”xxx”…

3. For MultiFarm (StoreFront or PNAgent servers) or Multilogon (StoreFront or PNAgent servers), select a single server to refresh or

click Refresh All to refresh all servers.

NOTE:

Warning message is displayed when you open, edit, or remove applications when you refresh the applications.

4. Refresh scope covers the aspects such as, application removed, added, duplicated, disabled, enabled, icon/title change, and on/off

desktop.

Active sessions that are started are not affected by application refresh.

5. The disconnect session can be reconnected after application refresh, if Automatic reconnection at logon is enabled in remote

connection.

Limitations of Citrix icon refresh

Following are the limitations of Citrix icon refresh:

• Citrix icon refresh is supported in classic mode and storefront mode only.

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) mode is not supported.

Enable multiple audio in Citrix session

ThinOS supports multiple audio device utilizations in the Citrix Apps and Desktops version 7.6 and later. You can connect or disconnect the

audio devices anytime during the session, but the behavior is similar to a local desktop. With multiple device support, you can connect

multiple audio devices and select a specific device for a specific application.

The Audio Plug N Play policy must be enabled on the Citrix Remote Desktop Session (RDS) desktop. The Audio Plug N Play policy

setting allows or prevents the use of multiple audio devices to record and play sound. This setting is enabled by default.

NOTE:

On the Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) desktop, pre-configuration is not required.

Supported devices—USB headset, webcam (without USB redirection), and analog headset devices are supported.
