Hi Jim, there's 2 approaches to this:
1. using two WI sites with the same URL as to not confuse the end user. Both
WI configs are on
the same server and point to the same farm, but one is internal and one is
external. The
external one has the modifed code in it for HIDEAPPS and the internal site
is stock standard.
You would then put an default.asp file at the wwwroot of your IIS server
that detects if a user is
coming from internal or external, and then automatically redirect them your
Xenapp WI site
based on their location. Here is some code I use to achieve this. I've been
using this codesince
early nfuse days. Just copy and paste the code in a blank default.asp file
and modify your LAN
IP address as indicated. Then ensure the IIS default is pointing at this
location and not directly
to the WI site. So there's no need to change the URL for the end user and
it's simple to create
another WI site.
<%
myLANip = "192" //your internal ip address start
myLOCALip = "127"
usrip = "127.0.0.1"
if Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") = null then
response.write("Cannot retrieve IP address of client")
else
usrip = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR")
if usrip = "" then
usrip = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
end if
end if
ipsubnet = left(usrip,3)
if ((StrComp(ipsubnet,myLANip,1) = 0) or (StrComp(ipsubnet,myLOCALip,1) =
0)) then
response.write("This is an internal address ... redirecting to
Xenapp internal site")
response.redirect "http://mysite/citrix/xenapp1/";
else
response.write("This is an external address ... redirecting to
Xenapp external site")
response.redirect "http://mysite/citrix/xenapp2/";
//convert this code to c# and put hideapps code here as downloaded
from
http://www.ThomasKoetzing.de
end if
%>
2. The second approach is to use 1 WI site and use the HIDEAPPS code as
described in the
download at http://www.ThomasKoetzing.de but then converting my code above
to c# (very easy
in this case) and wrapping inserting the hideapps example where I indicate
in my example. This
works on all WI versions up to 5.1 but 5.2 has changed the code strcuture a
bit so some
modification needs to be done (but not much). By do this the HIDEAPPS feture
will only operate
when a client comes in from an external site, otherwise the site operates as
normal.
