 h1. Overview
  
 This SDK is for administrators, Web masters and developers who want to enhance the capabilities of the Web Interface for Citrix Presentation Server. Customizations range from visual modifications to an installed copy of Web Interface, to building a custom solution directly using the Web Interface Java objects.
  
 To support new functionality, the Web Interface has been restructured significantly. For example, you now install sites separately, providing:
 * Access to Presentation Server applications
 * Access to Conferencing Manager Guest Attendee sessions
 * Support for the Program Neighborhood Agent client
 The API used for customizations has also changed to make it more consistent and flexible.
  
 If you have developed or used customizations from previous versions of the Web Interface, these customizations must be modified to work with this version of the Web Interface. The amount of work needed to migrate previous customizations to this version will vary for each customization.
  
 h3. Administrator's Guide
  
 This document supplements the _Web Interface Administrator's Guide_. Before you get started, ensure you have read the _Web Interface Administrator's Guide_ even if you are familiar with previous versions of the Web Interface.
  
 h3. What's New?
  
 *Documentation Tracks*
 In recognition that different people need different information, this guide has been divided into three tracks, directing you to the information most relevant to your needs.
  
 *Improved Template ICA File Format*
 The format of the template .ica files no longer includes conditional blocks. Instead, customizations are given full programmatic control over the content of .ica files delivered to client devices.
  
 *Cleaner Web Interface API*
 The Web Interface API has been substantially revised in this version of the Web Interface. This version makes common Web Interface customizations easier to implement.
  
 *New Authentication Layer*
 Authentication functionality in the Web Interface has been separated from the functionality provided after authentication. This makes it easier to inspect and audit critical authentication code.
  
 *MetaFrame Conferencing Manager Guest Attendee Sites*
 The MetaFrame Conferencing Manager Guest Attendee Web Interface was previously a separate installation. This site is now included as part of the Web Interface.
  
 *Program Neighborhood Agent Services Sites*
 The Program Neighborhood Agent Services site is now included in this documentation, allowing you to add enhancements to Program Neighborhood functionality.
  
 *More Flexible SDK*
 The revised SDK is less oriented towards creating dedicated Web Interface sites, allowing much more flexible reuse in building integrated solutions. For example, the SDK no longer assumes direct access to the file system is available and provides for full programmatic configuration.
