start putty from oneclick webapp menu on oneclick client

[Britta Hoffner]

Spectrum 23.3.13

we have added putty as a menu item to custom-menu-config.xml. We can successful start putty on our Windows 11 Clients using the fat Oneclick Client oneclick.jnlp. 

Using the Oneclick Webapp the putty is started on the Oneclick webserver if putty is installed there. If not an error window pops up that the application cannot be found.

Are there any activities to make oneclick.jnlp and Oneclick Webapp behaving the same in the future ?

Kind regards,

Britta,

Can you provide your custom-menu-config.xml file?

I would like to test this out in the lab.

Joe

Hi Joe, thanks for your reply. In the meantime I have the answer that starting those apps from the Oneclick Webapp is not possible.

Kind regards,

Britta

Hi Britta, Hi Joe,

As far as I know WebApp runs a java client on the webserver. So it behaves the same in both cases - it starts putty on the client host.

Cheers,

HI Britta,

We had a similar request a while back in which they wanted

1. Launching third-party applications (such as Viso) from the OneClick WebApp.

Engineering was working with the Webswing team and they mentioned

Engineering have been working with the Webswing team to see if there is any possibility to make this work.  It appears however that the restriction is with the browser security and for this reason it is not possible to work with Webapp.  There appears to be a potential workaround if you have Citrix VDA, you can load the desktop apps into the Citrix Browser, then take the Citrix browser app link and use it to customize the OneClick Launch browser.

As Broadcom does not have a Citrix VDA license, we cannot test this further here, but was only given as a possible workaround.

I´m not sure if this is helpful for you but just in case if you have access to Citrix VDA to test further.

Best regards,

Glenn

Hi Glenn, thanks for your feedback. Good to know. Our customer will move on using the fat client oneclick.jnlp.

Kind regards,
