Enabling individual downloads

Rather than using a software deployment system, you can let users download and install the Reflection for the Web Launcher the first time they open a Reflection for the Web session.

After you assign sessions to users, you need to distribute the session URL so an authorized user can access their Assigned Sessions list and launch a Reflection for the Web session directly.

When a user clicks a session link—before the Reflection for the Web Launcher is installed— they will be prompted to download and install the Launcher.

  1. Provide each user with this link to their Assigned Sessions list:

    http://hostname[:port]/sessions, where <hostname> is the name of the host where MSS is installed.

    The list contains the sessions that were assigned to that authorized user.

  2. The user clicks a link to launch a Reflection for the Web session.

    When a Reflection for the Web session is launched, a transient dialog appears that provides the user with the ability to download the MSI installer directly. The dialog is automatically dismissed after a few seconds.

  3. After the Reflection for the Web Launcher is installed on the users’ workstations, their sessions launch directly, and the Download button can be ignored.
