Using Citrix VDI in a Box 5 with IGEL Linux clients (Firmware 4.09.100 or higher)

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

Hello,

before the firmware release 4.09.100 it was only possible to use Citrix VDI in a Box 5 thru the XenApp configuration in the IGEL Universal Desktop LX/OS but not with the Firefox browser. Since the 4.09.100 you can also use the firefox browser but:

You need to enable a setting in the registry for this, it’s only mentioned with a short context in the release notes for the 4.09.100 firmware.

Open the IGEL Setup or the UMS profile and go to System->Registry and enable the setting browser_plugin.ica.vdi_fix.

After this configuration the VDI in a Box Webinterface works like a charm for the users.

Cheers
Michael

Improve USB storage write performance

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

To improve the write performance for USB storage devices in general follow these steps:

1) Open the IGEL Setup or your UMS Profile and go to System->Registry
2) Disable devices.autofs.sync_option

Note: This will not work for “true” USB Redirection (View, XenDesktop, RemoteFX, Fabulatech and so on) but it will improve the general performance for RDP, ICA and other drive mappings. Test in advance!

Cheers
Michael
