Methods and systems for application publishing in a virtualized environment are described herein. A system may facilitate publishing of one or more shortcuts based on inputs made in the virtual desktop environment (e. g., when a user 'drag-and-drops' a shortcut onto a publishing icon on a desktop). The system may determine application information and instance information for the application, and may publish a shortcut for that application to the storefront. As a result, users may be permitted to self-publish shortcuts for preferred applications onto personalized storefronts, which may be unique to each user.

Application publishing in a virtualized environment

Methods and systems for automated application launching are described herein. A computing device may receive a message, the message indicative of an application for a given event and a time in which to launch the application for the given event, from a client device. Based on the content of the message, the computing device may generate a plurality of text strings based on content of the message. The computing device may identify the application based on a comparison of the plurality of text strings with one or more entries of a database of applications and may launch the application in response to the identification of the application and at the time indicated in the received message, so as to make ready the application for use for the given event.

Systems and methods for automated application launching

Methods and systems for a centralized notification service are described herein. The centralized notification service may store notification data received from a plurality of devices and workspaces in a notification database. The notification database may store user account information, associated device and workspace information, associated application information, and notifications received or retrieved from each device and application associated with a user account. The notification service may receive notification data from a plurality of applications based on hooks injected into applications or into a notification manager service.

Multi-device workspace notifications

Disclosed is a computing system capable of performing a method that involves receiving, from a first device, a first indication that a peripheral device associated with the first device is available for sharing; sending, to a second device, a second indication that the peripheral device is available for sharing; receiving, from the second device, a request to access the peripheral device; and based at least in part on receipt of the request, causing a peer-to-peer connection to be established between the second device and the first device, the peer-to-peer connection enabling communication between the second device and the peripheral device. The peer-to-peer connection may, for example, enable direction of the peripheral device to the second device so that the peripheral device is a virtual device of the second device.

Perhipheral device sharing over peer-to-peer connection

Techniques are disclosed for providing secure resume of sessions such as, for example, application sessions. An example methodology implementing the techniques includes receiving, by a computing device, a request to resume a session, the session being hosted on a remote computer system and accessible by the computing device to enable display of content of the session via the computing device. The method also includes initiating one or more actions on the remote computer system to prevent content of the session from being visible on the computing device in response to resumption of the session and resuming the session on the remote computer system such that the content of the session is hidden from view within a display of the computing device as a result of the initiation of the one or more actions.

Secure session resume

Disclosed herein includes a system, a method, and a device for credential control among a plurality of client devices. A server can receive a modification to a credential for an identifier associated with a user of an application accessed via a first client device. The credential can be used for authenticating to the application by the user. The server can store the modification to the credential to a login history for the user. The login history can identify client devices and one or more applications accessed via the client devices by the user using the credential. The server can identify, using the login history, client devices through which applications are accessed by the user using the credential. The server can communicate the modification to the credential to the client devices to indicate to the user to update the credential using the modified credential on each of the client devices.
