Publish and Deliver Linux Applications from Linux SHD Servers in HyWorks

The following are configurations in HyWorks that will enable the delivery of virtual shared hosted desktops and applications.

Linux applications can be published via the HyWorks Management Console using the following steps.

  1. Go to Apps > Virtual Apps > Add

  2. In Add Application wizard > In Application Information tab > Select Application Platform as Linux

Note

Linux SHD Servers do not support file system browsing for selecting and fetching application details, so application paths must be provided manually.

  1. Navigate to the Application Information > Application Information.

  2. Enter the application display name and application path for the application to be published.

    Application path examples:

    • /usr/bin/git

    • /usr/bin/google-chrome

    Refer section Identifying Application Path on Linux SHD Server for identifying the application path.

  3. Go to Additional Settings

    1. Folder Settings: Configure this to show apps in specific folder structures on end-points.

    2. Launch Settings: Configure to specify any application launch configurations

    3. Access Settings: Use the controls provided in this section to configure how users can access published virtual apps.

  4. Move to Select Servers and Teams, and select the Linux Session Teams or Linux Session Servers, which will be used to publish this virtual app.

  5. Virtual IP Address: Configure settings here if the published virtual app should have virtual IP address assignments; otherwise, keep it unchanged.

  6. Entitlements: Add user, group, or OU-based entitlements as per requirement. Entitlements can be added later from the Policies > Entitlements section.

  7. Classification Rules: Configure Classification Rules to restrict app usage to classified client groups; otherwise, keep it unchanged.

  8. Save the changes to the published Linux-based virtual app.

Users can simply log in from their respective endpoints and connect to a virtual app published from a Linux server.
