Auto-configuration of vWorkspace Connectors
The CONFIG.XML file used by vWorkspace allows for AUTO-configuration of the vWorkspace Connector
1. There is a CONFIG.XML template located in \Program Files\Provision Networks\Provision-IT on your Connection Broker Server as well as in \Inetpub\wwwroot\Provision\Web-IT on your Web-IT Server .
2. If you want AUTO-configuration to work, you will need to perform one of two options in the resolution section below.
Option 1:
- Create a DNS Entry (A Record or CNAME) assigned to the name vWorkspace. This should point to a web server located on your network.
* IIS: \Inetpub\wwwroot
* Apache: edit the 000-default file and look for DocumentRoot ( found in /etc/apache2 )
- Place the configured CONFIG.XML file in the Web Server root folder.
Note: This feature was removed from the 8.6 and higher connector, please use options 2 or 3 with these version.
Option 2:
- Place the configured CONFIG.XML file in the Web Server root folder.
- Create a login script or push out a Registry Setting to your client computers. The registry setting is:
HKLM\Software\Provision Networks\Provision-IT Client
Value: AutoConnectURL
Type: REG_SZ
Data: http://www.domain.com
You might have multiple CONFIG.XML files if you have multiple farms. No problem, just use the following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Provision Networks\Provision-IT Client
Value: AutoConnectURL
Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Data: (One Per Line)
http://www.domain1.com/config.xml
http://www.domain1.com/provconf/myconfig.xml
https://ssl.domain.com/config.xml
File://\\Server\Share\Config.xml
Install the vWorkspace Connector
Launch the Connector and it will Auto-Configure
Option 3:
In vWorkspace 8.5 and higher, connector management has been added which enables the configuration of the connectors centrally.
