When using a web proxy
You can use your web proxy along with the Reflection for the Web Launcher to launch Reflection for the Web sessions. To configure web proxy settings centrally, you may use the provided PowerShell script.
The PowerShell script
Reflection for the Web installs a PowerShell script to <installation directory>/server/web/webapps/rweb-client/utilities/rweb-launcher-msi-transformer/.
The PowerShell script generates a transform (*.mst) file that can be used to customize your installation. The script enables you to manage the settings that would otherwise need to be accessed on each workstation.
While the default network settings for the Reflection for the Web Launcher may work, they may need to be adjusted for a more complex network environment, such as with a web proxy.
Run the PowerShell script to centrally manage your network settings
Follow these steps:
-
Download and unzip this file:
https://cluster-dns-ingress/rweb-client/utilities/MSITransformer.zip
-
Download the MSI to be modified using this URL:
-
Run this command:
.\InstallerTransformer.ps1 -f <path to MSI> -t <path to new Transform file>
The Result
The script confirms that the transform was successfully created in this directory: <installation directory>\server\web\webapps\rweb-client\ex\RWebLauncherEx.mst
After you deploy the transform file (RWebLauncherEx.mst) along with the Reflection for the Web Launcher (RWebLauncher.msi), your custom network settings will be deployed to the user’s workstation the next time the user opens a Reflection for the Web session.
