Environment variables
Menu path:
Setup > System > Firmware Customization > Environment Variables
Environment variables allow you to use dynamic parameter content for a number of session types, e.g. so
as not to have to enter ICA or RDP servers for every session. Within the IGEL Setup, the variables can be
found under:
System→Firmware Configuration→Environment Variables
Predefined variables can also be supplied and distributed via the IGEL UMS. Additional defined variables
can only be used locally and may be overwritten by a UMS configuration.
The environment variables are available in
Custom Commands
(page 153).
In addition, the following session parameters can be updated with variables:
•
ICA -
User name
(ICA sessions→[Session name]→Logon)
•
ICA -
Citrix server
or
Published Application
(ICA sessions→[Session name] -→ Server)
•
XenApp -
User name
(Citrix XenApp/Program Neighborhood→Logon)
•
RDP -
User name
(RDP sessions→[Session name]→Logon)
•
RDP -
Server
(RDP sessions→[Session name]→Server)
Use in sessions
Enable environment variables under
Enable variable substitution in session
.
1.
Specify the variable name and content (e.g. Variable Name = SERVER NAME | Value = test server)
2.
Enter the variable name in the session parameter field. The name is preceded by a $ sign (e.g.
3.
$SERVERNAME
)
In the case of RDP and ICA sessions, the setting is implemented after being saved and is entered into the
session file. With XenApp, the setting is not implemented until a session starts and is running.
