Connecting to an application

• First, you need to open the landing page of Workspace - http(s)://ThinfintyURL:Port

• Then click on the “New Profile” icon of the landing page

• Then select the “Application” type of connection, and click on next

• Select “RemoteApp”

• Now choose between making the connection to the current pc where you’re working, or to another terminal

• After that we need to set the virtual path of the application you want to connect

• Now choose the authentication method

• And at last, the name and the icon of the application you’re going to use

• You can now run the application by starting the newly created connection

• If you start multiple RemoteApps, you’ll find a dock menu at the bottom of the browser screen, this allows you to toggle between different applications of the same connection.

• You can also resize the App’s windows and be able to see more than one at the same time.

• You can also pin this menu to be always on top or unpin it to automatically hide it.

• If you get an access denied error, you would need to enable a group policy to allow unlisted programs to be started. To this end, open the ‘Group Policy Editor’ by going to ‘Start > Run > gpedit.msc’:

• On the ‘Group Policy Editor’ navigate to:

• ‘Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections > Allow users to connect remotely by using Remote Desktop Services’

  
• Double click on this policy and then click on the check-box next to ‘Enabled’:

  
• Afterwards, you’ll have to update the group policies. In order to do this, call ‘gpupdate /force’ from a ‘Command Prompt’ window elevated as an Administrator:

• If you want to give your users quick access to your applications, you can create a desktop shortcut to the URL of VirtualUI with the Virtual Path of the application. Here’s an example:

• To ensure these changes are applied, you can go to ‘Start > Run > services.msc’ and restart the ‘Thinfinity Service Manager’:

• You can check our live demo and experience this feature yourself. You will be able to test this feature with the following Profiles:
