RfwebUI - Hide Favorites Tab

[Marco Zimmermann]

Hi,

 

is there a way to hide favorties tab in RfwebUI?

I want users to start directly on applications tab.

Add the following to custom\style.css:

 

#myAppsBtn {
  display:none !important;
}

Hi Sam,

 

Thanks, the code removes the favorites button, however the favorites page is still displayed first after user logs in :(

.. also I experience these issues:

 

1. When I hit F5 to refresh site loading screen appears, after that I receive an error:
   
   Not Found
   The requested URL /logon/LogonPoint/login.aspx was not found on this server.
   
   This issue also happens sometimes when I hit browsers "back".
   No way out here.
    

2. Sometimes site is in a loading-screen-cycle. Refreshing every second. Only can fix this adding /cgi/logout to URL and log in again.

Is anyone using RFweb in production?

Marco,

 

Make sure that in your Client Interface Settings, the default view is set to Applications and not to Auto (see screenshot).

Yay - that did it :)

Didn´t know that SF settings apply here.

Thank you!

 

Do you have the same experiences with site refresh?

Sorry, Marco ... I haven't started using the RFWebUI theme yet.

Same issue here when I refresh the page after logon. It seems to be related to the browser language and the RfWebUI theme.

 

My browser language is in "French" and when I switch it to English, I'm not redirected to the "login.aspx" page.

 

So, when you logon with a web browser in Clientless mode with the RfWebUI, after logon, you can see the apps but after a refresh or pressing the back button, you got a redirect to a page "login.aspx"

 

Note that only happen when you configure a Web Interface URL in the NS GW session profile.

 

NetScaler build 11.1.51.26 and 52.13

 

I see other issue related to language other then English with nFactor/AAA, the main logon page doesn't load (it spin and just not shown). 

 

Some QA testing missing on Citrix side.

 

Maybe open a support case but I think these issue will be fixed in NetScaler 12.x

Hi @Sam Jacobs

coming back to you with this old thread :)

I got a user which got only permissions to RDPproxy-Desktops. So no App-Tab.

When this user logs in he is always redirected to the (hidden) favorites tab.

SF setting is set to start on App-Page. For SF App Page is acutally empty so its hidden.

 

Is there a way to start on Desktop page or even on App page (where RDPs also are listed under Web and Saas Apps)?

When I assign a dummy url bookmark App page is displayed and all works fine.

Thanks,

Marco

Marco,

 

What is the URL in your browser for the desktop page?

I attached tow screenshots:

Maybe someone from the NetScaler team can respond ... I'm afraid that I don't know offhand.

Hey, 

 

anybody got a solution for this? In X1 I can disable "Show Personal Link Section" and so only the Enterprise Links are shown. 

 

In RfWebUI there is the same option, but after login at my NSUG I am always landing at my empty Favorites Section. No StoreFront, only using NSUG for RDP Links and Intranet Bookmarks.

So here is a long answer:

 

You will need a few things:

 

1.  Have to use a universal gateway configuration

2.  Edit the content switch policy and change the expression from is_vpn_url to is_vpn_url && HTTP.REQ.URL.PATH.ENDSWITH("Home/Configuration").NOT

3.  Add responder action and policy.  This example sets the default view to "desktops"

add responder action res_act_configuration2 respondwith "\"HTTP/1.1 200 OK\\r\\n\" + \n\"Cache-Control: private, max-age=0\\r\\nConnection: close\\r\\nContent-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8\\r\\n\\r\\n\" + \n\"<?xml version=\\\"1.0\\\" encoding=\\\"UTF-8\\\"?><clientSettings><session timeout=\\\"20\\\" userLanguages=\\\"en-us\\\" />\" + \n\"<authManager loginURL=\\\"/p/u/getAuthenticationRequirements.do\\\" getUsernameURL=\\\"Authentication/GetUserName\\\" logoffURL=\\\"Authentication/LogOff\\\" changeCredentialsURL=\\\"/p/a/getCredentialUpdateRequirements.do\\\" loginFormTimeout=\\\"50\\\" />\" + \n\"<storeProxy keepAliveURL=\\\"Home/KeepAlive\\\"><resourcesProxy listURL=\\\"Resources/List\\\"\tresourceDetails=\\\"default\\\" />\" + \n\"<sessionsProxy listAvailableURL=\\\"Sessions/ListAvailable\\\" disconnectURL=\\\"Sessions/Disconnect\\\" logoffURL=\\\"Sessions/LogOff\\\" />\" + \n\"<clientAssistantProxy getDetectionTicketURL=\\\"ClientAssistant/GetDetectionTicket\\\" getDetectionStatusURL=\\\"ClientAssistant/GetDetectionStatus\\\" /></storeProxy>\" + \n\"<pluginAssistant enabled=\\\"true\\\" upgradeAtLogin=\\\"false\\\" showAfterLogin=\\\"true\\\" showOnlyIfRequiredByApps=\\\"true\\\">\" + \n\"<win32 path=\\\"http://downloadplugins.citrix.com.edgesuite.net/Windows/CitrixReceiverWeb.exe\\\" />\" + \n\"<macOS path=\\\"http://downloadplugins.citrix.com/Mac/CitrixReceiverWeb.dmg\\\" minimumSupportedOSVersion=\\\"10.6\\\" />\" + \n\"<html5 enabled=\\\"Fallback\\\" platforms=\\\"Firefox;Chrome;Version/([6-9]|\\\\d\\\\d).*Safari;MSIE \\\\d\\\\d;Trident/([6-9]|\\\\d\\\\d);Android;iPad;iPhone;iPod;\\\"\" + \n\" launchURL=\\\"clients/HTML5Client/src/SessionWindow.html\\\" chromeAppOrigins=\\\"chrome-extension://haiffjcadagjlijoggckpgfnoeiflnem|chrome-extension://lbfgjakkeeccemhonnolnmglmfmccaag\\\" chromeAppPreferences=\\\"\\\" />\" + \n\"<protocolHandler enabled=\\\"true\\\" platforms=\\\"(Macintosh|Windows NT).*((Firefox/((5[2-9]|[6789][0-9])|\\\\d\\\\d\\\\d))|Chrome/((4[2-9]|[56789][0-9])|\\\\d\\\\d\\\\d))(?!.*Edge)\\\"\" + \n\" skipDoubleHopCheckWhenDisabled=\\\"false\\\" /></pluginAssistant><userInterface frameOptions=\\\"deny\\\" autoLaunchDesktop=\\\"false\\\">\" + \n\"<workspaceControl enabled=\\\"false\\\" autoReconnectAtLogon=\\\"false\\\" logoffAction=\\\"disconnect\\\" showReconnectButton=\\\"true\\\" showDisconnectButton=\\\"true\\\" />\" + \n\"<uiViews showDesktopsView=\\\"true\\\" showAppsView=\\\"true\\\" defaultView=\\\"desktops\\\" />\" + \"<receiverConfiguration enabled=\\\"false\\\" showOnlyIfRequiredByApps=\\\"true\\\" downloadURL=\\\"ServiceRecord/GetDocument/receiverconfig.cr\\\" />\" + \"<appShortcuts enabled=\\\"false\\\" allowSessionReconnect=\\\"false\\\" /></userInterface>\" + \"<plugins><plugin name=\\\"nsg-epa\\\" src=\\\"plugins/ns-gateway/nsg-epa.js\\\" /><plugin name=\\\"nsg-setclient\\\" src=\\\"plugins/ns-gateway/nsg-setclient.js\\\" />\" + \"<plugin name=\\\"ns-nfactor\\\" src=\\\"plugins/ns-gateway/ns-nfactor.js\\\" /></plugins></clientSettings>\""

add responder policy res_pol_configuration "HTTP.REQ.URL.PATH.ENDSWITH(\"Home/Configuration\")" res_act_configuration2

4.  Bind the responder policy to your content switch vserver

5.  In your theme directory (/var/netscaler/logon/themes/{Theme Name}/) edit the script.js file and add the following:

var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
  mutations.forEach(function(mutationRecord) {
     document.getElementById('myAppsBtn').style.display = 'none';
  })
});

var target = document.getElementById("home-screen");
observer.observe(target, { attributes : true, attributeFilter : ['style'] });

 

If anyone has found a shorter way to do it, happy to hear about it.

Hi all

this is an old case here but i'm kind of stuck here as well with a Netscaler 13.0-71.44. With the steps above i'm able to Hide the Favorites Tab, but the content is still not from the Desktops-Landing page, it is from the Favorites-Landing page.

 

I've configured the Responder Action & Policy and bounded it to the CS of the UG. Also i modified the file script.js like mentioned.

 

Does anybody having the same issue with a current release or is there in the meantime a shorter way to configure it?

 

Many thanks for your help

Marc

Hi all

if anybody is searching for the same, in firmware 13.0-71.44 you can change this behavior following:

 

•    Add a custom portal theme based on RfWebUI (if not done already)

     add vpn portalTheme cust_rf -baseTheme RfWebUI

 

•    Edit the custom theme config to change default view to desktops. 

In /var/netscaler/logon/themes/cust_rf/plugins.xml, replace  defaultView="apps" to with  defaultView="desktops" 

 

•    Bind the new custom portal theme to vpn vserver. (f not done already)

bind vpn vserver <vpnvs> -portalTheme cust_rf

 

Best regards,

Marc
