Publish and Deliver Linux Applications from Linux SHD Servers in HyWorks

Following are configurations in HyWorks that will enable virtual shared hosted desktops and applications delivery.

Linux applications can be published via HyWorks Management Console using 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 does not support file system browsing to select and fetch applications details and thus application path must be provided manually.

1. In Application Information tab > Application Information section

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

   Application path examples:

   • /usr/bin/gedit

   • /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 structure on end-points.

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

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

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

5. Virtual IP Address: If published virtual app should have virtual IP address assignments, configure settings here, else keep it unchanged.

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

7. Classification Rules: Configure Classification Rules for restricting app usage to classified client groups, else keep it unchanged.

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

Now users can simply login from their respective end-points and connect to virtual app published from Linux server.
