Limit websites user can visit through IE published on Citrix

Hello everyone,

We're looking to pushing a web based employee clock that runs on IE, at the same time i do not want users browsing the web through the server out of security and other concerns. Is there a way to limit IE connection over Citrix to one or few IPs or DNS names ?

We are running a single presentation server 4.

Thank you all in advance,
Alex

Alex,

You could create a GPO (if you're using Active Directory) that limits the sites the users are able to go to (in addition to setting the proxy to 1.1.1.1 on the Citrix servers, with exceptions).

We are using Active directory.

I dont want to limit sites they can access from their dekstops just Citrix server.
but the proxy on Citrix server sounds interesting. Would that be global for any user? if so can you give a little more details or how that is set up ?

thanks!
Alex

The GPO for the Citrix server is the best approach. There are often a number of ways that a user can get to a browser or enter URLs (standard File Open dialogs often give a determined user ways to get places they shouldn't), and if you restrict the destinations, you don't have to lock down each of those disparate methods.

Chris,

took a bit to figure out how but we changes application launch to

"c:\progra....\iexplore.exe" -k http://website:8888

Thanks!
