Workspace control on Citrix Xenapp published desktop

What this means?

-          If you login to published Desktop from computer 1 and then go to computer 2 and login from there, your session will automatically get disconnected from computer 1 and launch on computer 2. You will NOT get the error “you have reached the concurrent session limit”

-          Auto- launch is disabled. This is a default from citrix that when workspace control is enabled, auto-launch will be disabled. This means, when you open the login page and enter your username and password, the session will NOT launch automatically. You will have to click on the Application icon to launch your session

Where this does not work?

-          If a session is running on computer 1 and you attempt to launch another session to the same desktop, you WILL get the concurrent limit error.

How this is done?

In Citrix Appcenter, expand “applications” and right click on the application you want to enable this on and select application properties. Select the “Name” section and under “application description”, type in the following

KEYWORDS:TreatAsApp Auto

TreatAsApp forces the desktop to be treated as a published application and enables workspace control

Auto automatically subscribes to the application in the storefront and the user does not need to manually add the application.
