I'm playing with vPrefer and trying to make sure I understand it in my lab. I understand how it works generally, and it made me question a scenario that might come up.
Here's my potential scenario: A web app is using whitelisting to only allow connections from specific IP addresses. Let's say the specific IP addresses are the few machines in Delivery Group A.
As it stands, if I were to publish Edge pointed at web app URL, hosted from Delivery Group A, it would redirect to using my local Edge client, and the web app would fail to load.
Another, maybe more realistic scenario is limiting the install of Java to a few servers instead of all workstations. If the webapp leverages Java, and you want to control costs, and have that single image/install to manage. In either scenario, what would need to happen to allow that individual published application to launch on the server (aside from telling users to login to Storefront web ?)? Is it possible? One potential option I thought of was disabling vPrefer and using the old school KEYWORDS to use local apps, or just not using local apps at all (as we have done for years).
