XenApp Deployment Data Tab / Advanced Settings Subtab

AdminStudio 2025 | 29.0 | Application Manager (Home Tab) | Home Deployment Type View

Note:Because Citrix XenApp server only supports App-V 4.x packages and Citrix XenApp profiles, the XenApp Deployment Data subtab is only displayed for App-V 4.x packages and Citrix XenApp profiles.

When a XenApp profile or App-V 4.x package is imported into the Application Catalog, Application Manager mines package elements for Citrix XenApp-specific deployment data. You can view and modify data for Citrix XenApp profiles and App-V 4.x packages and configure advanced settings by editing the properties on the Advanced Settings subtab of the XenApp Deployment Data tab.

The XenApp Information subtab of the XenApp Deployment Data tab includes the following properties:

Property

Description

Allow connections made through Access Gateway Advanced Edition (version 4.0 or later)

Set to True to allow connections that are made through the Citrix Access Gateway Advanced Edition (version 4.0 or later).

Note:Access Gateway is a universal SSL VPN appliance that can be used to secure client connections to XenApp environments as well as provide secure access to other internal network resources.

Any connection that meets any of the following filters

Set this field to True to only allow connections that meet one or more of the Access Gateway connection filters specified in this list.

Access gateway filters

Click the browse button to open the Access Gateway Filter dialog box, where you can enter Access Gateway filters.

Allow all other connections

Set this field to True to allow all other connections other than those made through Access Gateway.

Alternate profile locations

Click browse to open the Alternate Profile Location dialog box, where you can specify an alternate profile for connections that come from specific IP addresses.

For example, an administrator could use an alternate profile to direct users on either side of a WAN to stream applications only from the file or web server on their side of the WAN. When an alternate profile is created, a duplicate of the primary profile is created and stored on a different file share, making it more accessible to the client device.

On the Alternate Profile Location dialog box, enter the starting and ending IP range for which the alternate profile applies, and then select the alternate profile. After you configure the range, user devices from IP addresses within the specified range access the applications from the alternate profile instead of from the default profile.

Note:For streamed applications only.

Maximum instances

Select an integer from the list to specify the maximum number of concurrent connections a user can establish.

Allow only one instance of application for each user

Set this field to True to prevent any user from running more than one instance of this application at the same time.

Application importance

If Preferential Load Balancing is available, select one of the following options to assign importance levels to specific user sessions and applications:

•

Low, which has a value of 1

•

Normal, which has a value of 2 (default)

•

High, which has a value of 3

Preferential Load Balancing gives administrators the ability to prioritize the allocation of CPU shares to specific users and applications and to direct important user sessions to the XenApp server running the fewest number of important sessions.

Note:The higher the importance level of the session, the higher the percentage of CPU cycles that will be allotted to it.

Legacy audio minimum requirement

Set to Basic to specify that the client system must have a sound card installed or the published application will fail to launch on the client device.

Enable legacy audio

Set to True to allow audio support for applications to which HDX MediaStream Multimedia Acceleration does not apply.

Enable SSL and TLS protocols

Set to True to request the use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols for plug-ins connecting to the published resource.

Encryption

Select one of the following options to specify which plug-ins are allowed to connect based on their encryption level:

•

Basic

•

128-Bit (RC-5)

•

40-Bit (RC-5)

•

56-Bit (RC-5)

•

128-Bit Login Only (RC-5)

Note:The Basic encryption level should not be used in a secure environment.

Encryption required

Set this field to True to require encryption.

Start this application without waiting for printers to be created

Set to True to specify that this application will not open until the client printers are created.

Set to False to specify that this application will open immediately.

Session window size

Select one of the following options to configure the resolution of the session size when the application session is started on the XenApp server.

•

640x480

•

800x600

•

1024x768

•

1280x1024

•

1600x1200

•

Custom

•

Percent of client desktop

Width

If you have set Session window size to Custom, select an integer from this list to set the width of the session window size. The default setting is 1024.

Height

If you have set Session window size to Custom, select an integer from this list to set the height of the session window size. The default setting is 768.

Percent

If you have set Session window size to Percent of client desktop, select an integer from this list to set the percentage. The default setting is 75.

Maximum color quality

Select one of the following options to specify the maximum color quality:

•

Better Speed (16-bit)

•

Better Appearance (32-bit)

•

256-color (8-bit)

Hide application title bar

Set to True to hide the application title bar.

Tip:If the application does not have an Exit button built into the user interface, you may want to leave this option unchecked so that the user can use the red “X” to close the application.

Maximize application at startup

Set to True to maximize application at startup.

Tip:This setting is very useful for mobile devices with smaller screens, where you want the application to always start up at full resolution. On larger screen devices, where you manage multiple windows on the desktop simultaneously, you probably do not want to use this setting.

Run application as a least-privileged user account

For applications configured to stream to client devices, you can use this setting to reduce the user privileges for the application, thus reducing security risks.

To reduce the user privileges for the application, set this property to True. Setting this property to True configures all users, even those with an administrator account, to run the application with normal user privileges.

The default setting is False.

Important:Before you set this property to True, test the application with a limited access configuration. Some applications expect users to have elevated privileges and might fail to operate correctly when launched by users with a least-privileged user account.
