Looking for doc or explanation of what redirector.exe actually does?

[Ted Rainey]

Can anyone point to doc or explain the actual purpose / functionality of the redirector.exe that runs along with receiver.exe?

Hi,

 

It's used for URL redirection from host to client. You can see an article here about redirection not working with Firefox: https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX249951 or here in combination with Local App Access: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/general-content-redirection/laa-url-redirect.html#configure-local-app-access-and-url-redirection 

 

Hope this answers your question.
