VisionApp Access Portal (VaP) Review

Wednesday, 06 December 2006 by Michel Roth

Wilco van Bragt has written a review on the VisionApp Access Portal. This portal makes it possible to deliver several types of applications to the end users from one access point. The portal has Multilanguage possibilities and supports several layouts and Citrix farms. In this way you can create a single point of access for several business units with their need for supported languages and using a business unit’s layout for presentation of the application.

"Most people already know visionapp from their wonderful Freeware version software product vRD to easily connect to your Terminal Servers and/or vPMS (Platform Management Suite) to install and configure Servers and applications complying with the basic concepts of a Terminal Server infrastructure. Visionapp has also another third product called vAP."

"vAP is built around Citrix Presentation Server concerning the presentation of the applications. The VisionApp product works together with Citrix Web Interface for enumerating and presenting the applications within the portal. Because of big changes Citrix made to the Web Interface with version 4, visionapp supports only Citrix Web Interface (WI) version 3.

Logically IIS and WI should be installed on the on the vAP server before installing the software. vAP is using a database to store the configuration, so a SQL server (SQL 2000, 2005 or 2005 Express) should also be available for the visionapp databases."
