Configure Remote Desktop Services (RDS) for Application Launching

When a user uses the Launch App link in the web application, the launcher is called and obtains the necessary credential information for the application to launch. The application is launched from the jump server. In turn, VDI displays the remote application on the user's workstation like a local application. Before application launching can occur, RDS must be configured.

Configure Remote App

  1. Open Server Manager. Select Remote Desktop Services > Collections.
  2. Select the collection needed to configure application launcher.

Select RemoteApp Programs

  1. In the RemoteApp Programs area, select Tasks select > Publish RemoteApp Programs.
  2. Click Add on the Publish RemoteApp programs dialog.

 

RemoteApp Programs

  1. Select LiebsoftLauncher.exe from the application launcher installation location on the jump server. The default directory for this file is C:\Program Files (x86)\Lieberman\Roulette\LaunchApp.
  2. Click Next.

 

Confirmation

  1. On the Confirmation page, click Publish.

 

General Settings

  1. Once the LiebsoftLauncher application is published, right-click on it in the RemoteApp Programs list. Select Edit Properties.

User Assignment

  1. On the User Assignment tab, we highly recommend that you change the User Assignment option to be a specific user or group of users. You will be connected to the server as a pre-designated account, which can be managed by Privileged Identity. This is the only account that requires access to run the program. The account assigned requires all permissions and rights to launch desired programs.
  2. Click OK.
