August 8, 2018 Oct 03, 2016 Content redirection allows you to control whether users access information with applications published on servers or with applications running locally on user devices. Host to client redirection is one kind of content redirection.
It is supported only on Server OS VDAs (not Desktop OS VDAs). When host to client redirection is enabled, URLs are intercepted at the server VDA and sent to the user device. The web browser or multimedia player on the user device opens these URLs. If you enable host to client redirection and the user device fails to connect to a URL, the URL is redirected back to the server VDA. When host to client redirection is disabled, users open the URLs with web browsers or multimedia players located on the server VDA.
When host to client redirection is enabled, users cannot disable it. Host to client redirection was previously known as server to client redirection. When to use host to client redirection You might consider using host to client redirection in specific but uncommon cases, for performance, compatibility, or compliance. Normally, other forms of content redirection are better. Performance You can use host to client redirection for performance, so that whenever an application is installed on the user device, it is used in preference to an application on the VDA.
Keep in mind that host to client redirection will improve performance only under specific conditions, because the VDA already optimizes Adobe Flash and other types of multimedia content. First, consider using the other approaches (policy settings) noted in the tables below, rather than host to client redirection; they offer more flexibility and usually give a better user experience, particularly for less-powerful user devices. Compatibility You can use host to client redirection for compatibility in the following use cases:. You use content types other than HTML or multimedia (for example, a custom URL type).
You use a legacy media format (such as Real Media) that is not supported by the VDA’s multimedia player with multimedia redirection. The application for the content type is used by only a small number of users who already have the application installed on their user device. The VDA cannot access certain web sites (for example, web sites internal to another organization). Compliance You can use host to client redirection for compliance in the following use cases:. The application or content licensing agreement does not permit publishing via the VDA. Organizational policy does not permit a document being uploaded to the VDA.
Some situations are more likely in complex environments, and also if the user device and the VDA belong to different organizations. User device considerations Environments may have many different types of user devices.

Change the list of URL types for host to client redirection To change the list of URL types for host to client redirection, set the following registry key on the server VDA. Key: HKLM Software Wow6432Node Citrix SFTA To remove URL types from the list, set DisableServerFTA and NoRedirectClasses: Name: DisableServerFTA Type: REGDWORD Data: 1 Name: NoRedirectClasses Type: REGMULTISZ Data: Specify any combination of the values: http, https, rtsp, rtspu, pnm, or mms. Enter multiple values on separate lines. For example: http https rtsp To add URL types to the list, set ExtraURLProtocols: Name: ExtraURLProtocols Type: REGMULTISZ Data: Specify any combination of URL types. Each URL type must include the:// suffix; separate multiple values with semicolons.
For example: customtype1://;customtype2:// Enable host to client redirection for a specific set of web sites To enable host to client redirection for a specific set of web sites, set the following registry key on the server VDA. Key: HKLM Software Wow6432Node Citrix SFTA Name: ValidSites Type: REGMULTISZ Data: Specify any combination of fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs). Enter multiple FQDNs on separate lines. An FQDN may include a wildcard in the leftmost position only.
