5.4.1 Remote App

Windows applications can be published by creating a Remote App Access Profile in Thinfinity® Workspace. This type of Access Profile enables users to run specific applications hosted on a remote server as if they were operating directly on their local machine. Instead of accessing the entire desktop of the remote server, users interact solely with the selected application, which integrates seamlessly with their local desktop environment.

To create a Remote App Access Profile and publish your remote Windows app:

1

Start the Access Profile Wizard

Click on the New Profile button in the dashboard home page or alternatively, click the +Add button from the Access Profiles tab of the Settings menu.

2

Select an Access Profile Type

Select Application and click Next.

Choose the Application Type

Select Remote App, then click Next.

4

Set Up the Connection

Select the computer where your Windows Remote Application is located:

  • This PC: The application is located in current computer.

  • Another PC: Publishes an application located in a different computer. In this case, you must also provide the target PC’s IP address and, optionally, a Broker Pool (depending on your deployment configuration).

The wizard guides you through the essential settings required for the connection to the target resource. Thinfinity Workspace assigns default values for the rest of the parameters of the connection. To customize these parameters, access the Settings menu of the access profile.
