StoreFront 1.2 default tabs and desktop autolaunch

December 14, 2012 1 Comment

Goal:

1. Control the default Tab behavior in Citrix StoreFront 1.2

2. AutoLaunch a XenDesktop or XenApp Published Desktop

Solution 1 – Control the Tabs:

Open the web.config file located by default under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\NameOfYourStore\

Locate the following:

<uiViews showDesktopsView=”true” showAppsView=”true” defaultView=”desktops” />

If you wish to change the default to Apps, simply change the syntax to the following:

<uiViews showDesktopsView=”true” showAppsView=”true” defaultView=”apps” />

Solution 2 – Automatically launch a the Desktop once the user logs in (Only works if you have a single Desktop published)

Find the following syntax and make sure the autoLaunchDesktop setting is set to true

<userInterface frameOptions=”deny” autoLaunchDesktop=”true“>

Also, don’t forget to read my previous post on how to speed up StoreFront 1.2 as it is very slow without making modifications
