A user would like to make it super convenient for others to log into DataMiner via Cube (through Citrix application). They are wondering if it is possible to pre-populate the Cube splash screen with tiles for each of the VIPs of each DMA failover pair for every Citrix user.
The user is using the 'Shared MSI Installation' Cube deployment method: DataMiner Cube deployment methods | DataMiner Docs
Hence is the following procedure advisable? Are there any pitfalls of doing this that needs to be called out?
(1) The 'installer' user (i.e.: first user) will launch Cube and start adding tiles. Each tile will represent a connection to the VIP of a DMA failover pair of a cluster. This would result in an updated CubeLauncherConfig.json file. Within the file, the 'Clusters' object should contain meta-data for each tile.
(2) Copy the CubeLauncherConfig.json file to every Citrix user that needs to use Cube.
Desired outcome: other users will not need to repeat the process of adding tiles. They will get the tiles 'pre-configured' upon first launch of Cube.
Hi Bing,
I think that you could use the bootstrap MSI installation based on your requirements. The key benefits for you would be:
- The launcher automatically gets installed for each individual user the next time they sign in on that machine. This avoids the need for each individual user to download and install the launcher.
- It is possible to provide a default configuration for all users by preparing a
CubeLauncherConfig.jsonfile and placing it in the folder where the bootstrapper is installed.
Kind regards,
