Minds and Guidance for some pits in the IT
Hallo zusammen
Wer schon mit Citrix Director gearbeitet hat, hat sich sicherlich auch schon darüber genervt, dass man die Domäne jedes Mal eintragen muss.
Von Citrix gibt es den Artikel CTX139896 in welchem beschrieben wird, wie man die Seiten im IIS dafür anpassen kann. Der Artikel verheimlicht jedoch, dass dies nach jedem Update des Directors zu wiederholen ist.
Warum also dieses Problemchen nicht mittels NetScaler lösen?
Hey NetScaler Fans
I’ve following scenario in my environment:
– two XenDesktop Controller on which is also Director installed
– one Loadbalancing (LB) vServer on a NetScaler, which connects to both server
The goal was:
– use the SSL LB vServer for XML-Requests between Storefront and Controller with the Hostname = xmlxd7.domain.pit
– us the same SSL LB vServer for the access to the Director Site with the Hostname = director.domain.pit
… sounds easy, but
– while accessing the hostname director.domain.pit, the NetScaler should redirect to the URL /Director, but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES if the LB vServer receives a XML Request
Hi together
Everyone who has worked with Citrix Director is stumbled over this message:
The shortcut inserted by the installation is linked to a HTTP URL and not HTTPS. This is the reason for this security message. If this is annoying to you, you can disable this within IIS.
Open the Director Site within your IIS Manager and open the Application Settings:
After you change the parameter UI.EnableSSLCheck to False, the message is vanished.

Hi together
Director is in my opinion a real useful tool for the helpdesk. On little problem can be the tab “Applications” in the users details. The helpdesk sees the complete title bar of an open application and be honest, some things (filenames, titles of homepages, and so on) are not for the helpdesk’ eyes:
To avoid this you can disable the sending of this data with Registry modifications at the VDA site or you can deactivate this tab within the Director frontend.
To do the second option you’ve to open the Director site within the IIS Manager and open the Application Settings:
If you change the parameter UI.TaskManager.EnableApplications to False, the applications will be hidden but the tap with the Processes is shown furthermore and the helpdesk employee with the correct rights can kill a faulty process.
