Bidirectional Content Redirection

Bidirectional Content Redirection is the feature that allows URLs to be redirected from client to server and vice versa based on configuration.

-Published Application/Desktop Name : Indicates the name of the published application / desktop used to launch the redirected URL. This is not used when Bidirectional Content Redirection is enabled on any of the active ICA sessions. Whether its Desktop or Application is decided based on the Type specified below.

-Above Name is for Published Type : This indicates the above Name is whether Application or Desktop.

-Allowed URLs to be redirected to VDA : This indicates the list of URLs that will be opened on VDA. Semi Colon ";" acts as a delimeter. "*" can be used as wild card. For example *.xyz.com.

-Allowed URLs to be redirected to Client : This indicates the list of URLs that will be opened on Client. Semi Colon ";" acts as a delimeter. "*" can be used as wild card. For example *.xyz.com.

Note:
1) If there is a URL that is put in both the places, then it will be launched from wherever it originated.
2) If the URL is in neither of them, in that case as well it will be launched from wherever it originated.
