Bidirectional Content Redirection Overrides
Supported on: All Citrix Workspace supported platforms
Description
Bidirectional Content Redirection Overrides are URL-specific overrides that apply to the Bidirectional Content Redirection feature. -URL-specific published application or desktop overrides : This indicates the URL-specific overrides for Published Application/Desktop Name. The "Value name" should exactly match an entry in the "Allowed URLs to be redirected to VDA" list, and the "Value" will specify a Published Application/Desktop Name specific to that URL.
Registry
HKCU
Software\Policies\Citrix\ICA Client\Bidirectional Content Redirection Value name: VDAAppOverridesEnabled
Enabled: VDAAppOverridesEnabled = 1
Disabled: VDAAppOverridesEnabled = 0
REG Builder
BETAConfigure the state and elements to generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune, and SCCM outputs.
These exports replicate the policy's registry effect. Editing the registry directly is not the same as applying the GPO through the management console (no gpupdate, no central reporting). Test before production; HKLM changes require administrator rights.
