Connetion to Citrix MF4

Dear all

We are trying to configure SGD with Citrix.

Managed to install ICA client on SGD server, login and everything works fine.

When starting the citrix application object in using SGD webtop we get the following message:

Starting the application...

Connecting to Protocol Engine...

ErrTransportNotAvailable

connect(7,192.168.100.1:23): (111) Connection refused

Standard error of script process:

Third tier output log:

I searched for documnetation about integrating a Citrix server, but didn't found any docs regarding the telnet config.

SGD runs on SLES9.

Thank you

Werner

> connect(7,192.168.100.1:23): (111) Connection refusedIs 192.168.100.1 the IP address of your SGD server? Looks like you are using telnet as the connection method. Is telnet enabled on your SGD server?

Citrix uses the ICA-protocol for the connection to an application. The default port for this protocol is 1494. It looks like application has been created as a Character Application instead as a Windows Application.

A Windows Application can be configured to use the Citrix ICA-protocol (winframe) instead of the default Microsoft RDP (wts) protocol.

Use the Object Manager to create a new Windows Application and change the the setting from 'Windows Protocol' to 'Citrix ICA)

Yes 192.168.100.1 is the address of my SGD server. And yes, I'm using telnet as connection method (I think with Citrix I have to use Telnet instead of SHH, no?).How do I enable telnet on the SLES to support this setup?thank youWerner

You should be able to use ssh if you installed the Citrix client on the SGD server.

I don't understand why you want to start a Citrix Client on the SGD server. SGD can native connect to a Citrix Application.Just create a Windows application and change the Windows Protocol to Citrix ICA.- Remold

Remold,You can't just change the protocol and expect it to work. You have to install the ICA client and deploy it as an X application.

I have never tested a connection to a Citrix Server, but did investigate the possiblility. Looking at: http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6255/attr_scottawindowsapplicationserver.html

Is it possible to connect to a Citrix Server via the ICA-protocol.

A Windows application uses other parameters then the X or char applications.

Wai is correct, you must install the ICA client on the SSGD server and then set the connection method to ICA . .. .

The problem with ICA is, that I have automatically telnet as communication protocol.Does someone know kind of how-to guide indicating the process / packages needed to get telnet working on a Suse 9 based SGD?Thank you

If you installed ICA client on the SGD server, you should deploy it as an X application. Don't use Windows application -> ICA protocol.

mmm - if I deploy it a an X-application I cannot choose ICA as protocol....Is there really no manual available?

# 12
ok - now I understand what you mean ;-).... finallyI will try to deploy a x-application tghe same way as for example xclock or konsole, right?

You don't need to choose ICA protocol. Just use either telnet or ssh to start the ICA client. The ICA client will in term speak ICA protocol to your Citrix server.
