Specific to Citrix Workspace app for Chrome

Chrome Citrix Published Application

1) Google Admin policy

When you upload a policy file, the tool reads the file and lets you modify the configuration settings it specifies. To add a configuration to your file, use the ‘Create new’ option.

2) Web.config in StoreFront

The web.config file is typically located at C:inetpubwwwrootCitrix<storenameWeb> where storename is the name specified for the store when it was created. Locate chromeAppPreferences and update its value with the custom configuration as a JSON string that is generated by the tool.

Example:

chromeAppPreferences = '{'ui': {'toolbar': {'menubar': false}}}'

3) Default.ica

Copy and paste the generated code as the last line in the default.ica file.

Typically, for the Web Interface, the default.ica file is located at C:inetpubwwwrootCitrix<sitename>App_Datadefault.ica where sitename is the name specified for the site when it was created.

Sample code generated by the tool:

chromeAppPreferences = {'ui': {'toolbar': {'menubar': false}}}

Note: Although the tool can be opened on any web browser, it works best on Google Chrome.
