Citrix Files on Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 编辑

Citrix Files on VDA

When installed on a Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA), the Citrix Files app is set to launch automatically inside the published application or desktop and created a mapped S: drive to your Files content. Citrix Files can be set to start as part of the user’s windows logon process.

Publishing the CitrixFiles.exe application directly is not supported.

Installation

1. Install the VDA.
2. After the VDA is set up, install the Citrix Files for Windows application on your VDA.

Note:

Starting with VDA 1808, Citrix Files for Windows is an optional component that can be selected during the installation process.

Installing the VDA through the command line

To install the VDA using the command line, use the /IncludeAdditional parameter to include “Citrix Files for Windows” as an install component. For example:

XenDesktopVDASetup.exe /quiet /verboselog /optimize /PORTNUMBER 80 /logpath 'C:\CitrixInstallationLogs\TSVDA' /components VDA,PLUGINS /ENABLE_HDX_PORTS /ENABLE_REAL_TIME_TRANSPORT /disableexperiencemetrics /NOREBOOT /MASTERIMAGE /IncludeAdditional "Citrix Files for Windows" /NORESUME

Note:

This option is only available on VDA 1808 and later.

Authentication

When accessed through Citrix Workspace, the user’s logon information is automatically passed to the VDA session, allowing users to use single sign-on for their Files account. Authentication requires VDA version 7.18 or later and Delivery Controller.

When deployed in an on-premises Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment, Citrix Files can be set up to use SAML single sign-on using Windows authentication or a user name and password through the Citrix Files web logon screen. To configure Windows integrated SAML single sign-on, you must specify your account subdomain in the AccountGroup policy setting. For more information on Group Policy configuration and set up, see Knowledge Center article CTX228273.

Application session lingering

Sometimes, the user might close a Citrix Virtual Apps application before the Citrix Files upload was able to complete. Configure session lingering for published applications to allow Citrix Files to complete the upload before the Citrix Virtual Apps session is terminated.

To configure application session lingering, edit your Delivery Group from Citrix Studio:

File cache

Citrix Files caches accessed files on disk for faster performance. By default, each user’s cache is set to 5,120 MB. The size and extra configuration of the cache can be set through group policy. Cache size works best by considering available disk space and the number of users planning to access the server at a given time.

Roaming profiles

The Citrix Content Collaboration data and cache directories are excluded to avoid profile bloat. The following path is where the default cache and logs are stored:

```%userprofile%\appdata\local\citrix\Citrix Files

User settings are stored in the roaming path as follows:

```%userprofile%\appdata\roaming\citrix\citrix files<!--NeedCopy-->
