Hrmm - I had no idea that was a thing.

Why would you do that? I still don't have BCR in prod as last time I checked I couldn't have different conf (direct, fetch via server,etc) per URL. It doesn't seem to work so well for us. What about you guys?

I guess is to eliminate the policy need for all the URLS that would redirect the content and reduce the overall resources? maybe

Doesn’t make much sense to me. BCR should be used to reduce load generated by multi media heavy websites - so usually you want it to kick in for those sites only in my opinion

The only thing I can think of is some customer made a bid deal about putting in ACL for the sites(youtube like), and they said fine, do this. haha 🤷‍♀️

Anyhow why not even if I don't see the use case, hopefully they didn't spend time to develop this haha

I would have some doubts about enabling it as I imagine the problems that would arise with all the sites that require various authentications.

No doubt. I’ll test it in my lab but that’s about it

I'd like to see BCR on by default for environments, I think it's a good feature. Redirect what you can and if you can't fall back

That was my thoughts as well. But I have only used it a handful of times for training video sites and it seemed good for that. A bit of a pain when the link redirects many times

My point is, I have no idea what sites users may be visiting that mangle the CPU - IGN, The Register, news sites, they are millions of them out there

I've had problems with a few specific sites, about a year ago now. so I can imagine how much trouble could arise by enabling it for everyone

Good luck with enabling it globally. The issues start when users want to print or up/download something

@dready can you educate me on how that downloading and printing would be a problem with BCR? I guess it would be redendering on the client some how and get confused? Not challenging you, but really curious

yeah but what if your printers are only available from within the virtual environment or the need to have access to up/download shares, homedrives whatever. At least my users would get totally confused and helpdesk getting flooded

I was under the impression that the viewpoint is only redirected. Things like address bars, toobars and such would be returned on the VDA still. But I I don't know. Like I said I only used it for massive training that way the VDAs did not get crushed. My experiences is limited on it. But sounds like others had pain points.

yes that’s correct and exactly because the viewpoint is running on the endpoint the VDA has no knowledge about what’s going on in there, resulting in file transfers originating from the endpoint for example or not printing this content

Oh I see
