Short description
This extension redirects Webpages.	Extension to enable URL Content Redirection in VMware Horizon.
Full summary
This extension allows redirection of webpages in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sessions. The extension enables two features, namely, Browser Content Redirection and Bidirectional URL Redirection. BROWSER CONTENT REDIRECTION: Redirects Webpages from a browser running on the virtual desktop to the Citrix Workspace App embedded browser running on the client device. Browser Content Redirection prevents the execution/rendering of whitelisted web pages in the virtual desktop, creating a corresponding browser instantiated by Citrix Workspace app that will be responsible for rendering the URL locally on the user’s device. System Requirements: Browser Content Redirection for Chrome requires Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 1808 or higher and Citrix Workspace app for Windows 1809 or higher, and Citrix Receiver for Linux 13.9 or higher. This extension should be installed in the supported browsers running in the virtual desktop, and no installation is required on user’s client device.

Please contact your IT department before downloading this extension. The URL Content Redirection feature supports redirection from a remote desktop or application to a client, and from a client to a remote desktop or application. Redirection from a remote desktop or application to a client is called agent-to-client redirection. Redirection from a client to a remote desktop or application is called client-to-agent redirection. Agent-to-client redirection With agent-to-client redirection, Horizon Agent sends the URL to Horizon Client, which opens the default application for the protocol in the URL on the client machine. Client-to-agent redirection With client-to-agent redirection, Horizon Client opens a remote desktop or remote application that you specify to handle the URL. If the URL is redirected to a remote desktop, the link is opened in the default browser for the protocol on the desktop. If the URL is redirected to a remote application, the link is opened by the specified application. The end user must be entitled to the desktop or application pool. You can redirect some URLs from a remote desktop or application to a client, and redirect other URLs from a client to a remote desktop or application. You can redirect any number of protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, mailto, and callto. See more
