How to Propagate new SPA

AppGate admins may be required to move users to a new SPA URL.

In this article we explore some methods that might be helpful to propagate a new SPA to AppGate users

1- Email:- You can send the SPA via email, just make sure that the URL starts with <appgate:// > ,so the link will be opened by the AppGate Client once a user clicks on it.

AppGate suggests the use of the feature "message of the day" to inform the users that the old SPA will be replaced by new one.

2- Script:- You can write your own script in power-shell for example which will create shortcut on the desktop and then use the Device scripts feature, again utilization the message of the day feature can inform users about the new shortcut.
Note:- Make sure to remove the device script once all the users have been on-boarded to the new SPA, otherwise the script will run every time users login.

3- Internal server:- You can use your own internal server where you host put the the URL there, if you are concerned about security you can make the server accessible via an AppGate entitlement only and provide the link via message of the day.

4- GPO:- You can propagate SPA URL via GPO as shortcut and inform your users via message of the day or any other way.

In some scenarios admins need to keep the old SPA along with the new one, so to see how many users are using which SPA you can run the below command
journalctl -u cz-proxyd.service | egrep 'name "your_SPA_name"'

So if you have SPA name called builtin then you can use it like below
journalctl -u cz-proxyd.service | egrep 'name "builtin"'
