How to delay the launch of the appliance mode to make sure the network has fully initialized on IGEL OS?


Pointing Citrix self-service appliance mode to a SAML enabled (AzureAD) StoreFront store intermittently results in not loading the authentication website from AzureAD (usually just an empty embedded browser window from Workspace app. Only way to bring it back is a reboot of the device and usually it wotks on the second attempt. The issue happens with different devices (coverted and IGEL hardware). It looks like some sort of timing issue. I know it’s probably a quite rare setup but maybe someone has seen it as well? Since it might be a timing issue I wonder if there’s a way to delay the launch of the appliance mode to make sure the network has fully initialized? Didn’t find a registry setting and the delay value from the autostart configuration seems not to apply for appliance mode unfortunately.

I don’t believe there is a way to delay appliance mode startup, but you may be able to get a similar configuration using a browser appliance session, and it may be more relaible that way.


Well, didn‘t test it, but you could try to place a Final network command like

sleep 30

and it should wait 30 seconds after Network Init, it should include the Appliance Start. If it works, change the sleep command to a shorter period.


thanks, will give it a try

Thanks, browser appliance session isn’t supported in OS 11 anymore and the custom browser appliance mode (browser kiosk) has it‘s own issues with Workspace app detection and auto launch of ica files
