How to restrict XenMobile MDM Console Access

XenMobile2 comments

After installing and configuring the Citrix XenMobile MDM server you can logon to the console from any place you like… even from any external address. In some cases this could lead to a security breach. Unfortunately the XenMobile MDM console provides no options to filter access to the console within the graphical interface at this time. I can imagine that some companies only want console access within the corporate network, so a filter on source IP address is very desirable. The good news is that there is a way to configure such filters, you only have to edit the auth.jsp file.

With the release of Citrix XenDesktop 7, Citrix also released Citrix StoreFront 2.0. One of the biggest improvements is that StoreFront does not use a Microsoft SQL database anymore! This simplifies the installation because you no longer need to run the database setup scripts.

How to update a XenApp 6.5 vDisk with Provisioning Services Versioning

Provisioning Services, XenApp39 comments

Back in the old days when you wanted to update a vDisk, you needed to make a complete copy of the current vDisk, then import it back into the vDisk Store, set it to Private Mode and link it to a Master device to apply your changes. After making all the changes, you needed to put the vDisk back to Standard Image mode and copy the complete vDisk to the rest of the Provisioning Services servers. Now with Citrix Provisioning Services vDisk versioning you can add versions to your current vDisk. This method of updating the vDisk creates a delta file next to the vDisk itself.

After installing and configuring Citrix Provisioning Services Server (as described here) and the Citrix XenApp 6.5 Controller (as described here) it’s time to create the Citrix XenApp vDisk, also known as the “Golden disk”, for the Citrix XenApp 6.5 running in Session-host mode only.
