This page checks that a new Citrix SecurSpaces™ evaluation environment works, for cloud and local deployments.

Sign in

  1. In a browser, go to https://<name>.try.sds.citrix.com. Use the hostname, not the IP address.
  2. Enter the administrator email, select Proceed, and enter the administrator password from the installer.

SecurSpaces sign-in page

If sign-in fails with “invalid username or password”, wait 5 minutes and try again.

Complete the setup wizard

  1. On Register Sign-In Domain, select Skip. To use your identity provider instead, see Identity providers.
  2. On Code Repository Applications, select Skip. To connect a provider later, see Code repositories.
  3. On Organization, enter an organization name and a project name, for example Test Lab and Hello SecurSpaces, and select Finish.

Check the license

Go to Platform > System Configuration > License, and check the license type, limits and expiry date. The evaluation license is valid for 6 months, and the TLS certificate for 90 days. See Licensing.

Create a workspace

  1. In your project, select Create your first Workspace.
  2. Select Create Custom Workspace.

  3. On Basic Info, enter:

    Setting Value
    Name hello-securspaces
    Owner Your user
    Workspace image Default Generic Image
    Region Default Region
    Resources Minimal
  4. Select Review and Launch, and then Launch.
  5. Wait for the status to change to Running.

Run code

  1. In the Access column, select the VS Code icon. If the browser blocks the window, allow pop-ups for the console URL.
  2. If the IDE asks whether to trust /home/developer, select Manage > Trust.

  3. Open a terminal, and run:

    mkdir -p ~/hello-securspaces
cd ~/hello-securspaces
printf 'print("Hello from Citrix SecurSpaces!")\n' > hello.py
python3 hello.py
sha256sum hello.py
<!--NeedCopy-->
  4. Check that the output is Hello from Citrix SecurSpaces!, and note the checksum.

Check that files persist

  1. On the Workspaces page, open the workspace’s action menu, select Pause, and wait for Paused.
  2. Select Run, and wait for Running.

  3. Reopen the IDE, and run:

    python3 ~/hello-securspaces/hello.py
sha256sum ~/hello-securspaces/hello.py
<!--NeedCopy-->
  4. Check that the output and the checksum are the same as before.

The deployment works.

Next step

Continue with Manage the evaluation environment.
