5.4.2 VirtualUI Applications

Thinfinity® VirtualUI is a robust development platform designed to enable the transformation of Windows desktop applications into web-based solutions with minimal code changes. At the core of this technology is a proprietary DLL that developers can integrate directly into their applications. This DLL injects a virtualization layer into the software, allowing it to run in HTML5-compatible web browsers, and extending its accessibility across various platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices.

Reference

Detailed instructions on how to perform VirtualUI integrations are available here.

Once the integration phase has been finalized you can create a VirtualUI Access Profile to connect to the virtualized application.

To create a Remote App Access Profile and publish your virtualized application:

1

Start the Application Profile Wizard

Click on the New Profile button in the 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.

3

Choose an Application Type

Select the VirtualUI App connection, then click Next.

4

Choose the Application You Want to Publish

In the Program path and file name field, enter the full path to the executable file of the VirtualUI app you want to publish. Optionally, select an icon for your published app and click Next to proceed.

5

Set Permissions

Disable the Allow Anonymous Access option and use the Add button to select the users and groups that will have access to the new Access Profile.

Note

Find users and groups link will only be available when working with Directory Services.

Set the Access Profile Name

Enter a descriptive name for the new Access Profile, then select an icon for it and click Done to publish your VirtualUI application.

7

Configure the Access Profile

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.

Commit the Changes

Click Commit to apply the configured connection parameters.

  • If you are defining only one profile, you can use Commit right after configuring all the desired parameters.

  • If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Commit after you have everything in place.
