Customize AppCenter XenApp 6.5 -

In multilingual environments, which let Windows 08 R2 installation is English and you add MUI language packs, the XenApp 6.5 AppCenter console will pick up the language the current user while many would require the console to use the English language.

Furthermore, customers with XenApp Enterprise can not use Citrix Single Sign on (formerly Password Manager) product as it is not included in the XenApp licensing model (see http: //www.citrix .com / products / xenapp / features / editions.html).

I wanted to share with you two possible customizations, but not officially supported, to avoid installing the Single Sign-on Module to the inside the Citrix AppCenter console and change the language of the console before or after installation.

1) Avoid Citrix Single-Sign On rapid discovery and display inside AppCenter

Citrix AppCenter

Before install the AppCenter or XenApp:

on the location where the XenApp 6.5 ISO was extracted, navigate to administration folder Delivery services Console Resource . The Global.xml file contains the default configuration used when installing AppCenter console or via the XenApp autorun or via the installation package AppCenter (CtxInstall.msi in Administration Delivery Services Console file) .

Locate the ASC-CPMConsole Global.xml line in the file (should be line 13) and change the value of True to False in the section (line 17).

Save the changes and intallation Citrix Single Sign On console will be installed.

After the AppCenter or XenApp installation:

Once installed, Citrix AppCenter is located in C: Program Files (x86) Citrix Delivery services Console Framework Citrix . However, the Citrix Single-Sign On Console folder is C: Program Files (x86) Password Manager Citrix MetaFrame Console

To prevent the Single-Sign On prompt discovery and display. Single-Sign On component in Citrix AppCenter, rename the file console MetaFrame Password Manager .

2) Change the language Citrix AppCenter after installation

Unfortunately I could not find a pleasant and effective way to force the display language for Citrix AppCenter to English via a registry entry or a change in the configuration file.

the fastest solution is to simply rename the language files from Citrix Citrix Delivery Services Console Framework (default in C: Program Files ( x86) on a XenApp 6.5 server). At the next launch, Citrix AppCenter automatically display all details in English

Change :. Comments following the publication of the article, indicated that the above steps are not always enough and, more importantly, that I left on the details of Citrix policy engine. So, to be extended here are the folders you need to rename the language subfolders (de, es, fr, ja, and zh-CN) to force the English to all the details of AppCenter, including policy engine Citrix:

C: Program Files (x86) Citrix Group Policy management
C: Program Files (x86) Citrix Group Policy management Extensions
C: Program Files (x86) Citrix Group Policy management ExtensionsV2
C: Program Files (x86) Citrix XenApp management XenApp

notes

to publish Citrix AppCenter, follow the detailed process in CTX126752 or visit this blog from Citrix: / blogs / 2012/01 / 19 / citrix-station- taskpad-view /

I also recommend to take advantage of delegated administration allows, for example, helpdesk to manage XenApp sessions (the function is explained in Citrix eDocs).
