Cool Citrix x Browser : config problem


Hi Everybody!

Hope someone can help me.

I need to get desktop server running remote application with Citrix on linux.

It wa installed OpenMotif as required, then the Citrix itself. Then, reading the Citrix readme.txt it says about the problem:

----------------------------------------------
3.27 Netscape configuration on Linux and NFuse.

The installation of the client usually adds configuration information
for Netscape Navigator. This allows Navigator to start an ICA session
using an ICA file returned by a web site, usually one using Citrix NFuse.
Occasionally the Linux version of Navigator fails to process the
information correctly, and will display a dialogue box requesting
a file name for saving the ICA file. To correct this, use the
"Edit" menu in Navigator, choose "Preferences", then "Navigator"
and "Applications" in the left-hand panel, select "Citrix ICA"
from the list, press "Edit" and set the "Handled By" option
to Plugin or Application. The Citrix plug-in and wfica application
should already be configured.
----------------------------------------------

The problem is, I tried to find on firefox the left option to select "Citrix ICA", and it is not there.

Please, any hints? Thnxs in advance.

In the past, I have had to manually select wfica by browsing to the install directory. I can't recall where the default is. You can try

Code:
$ whereis wfica
to see where it is installed.

So when the prompt appears asking you what to do, browse to the installed location and select it to run. Check the box telling it to always run wfica with this kind of file.

Which distro and version of citrix are you using? The installation scripts have properly configured things for me the last few versions. Remember that browser plugins typically need a browser restart to work.

It has been a while since I installed this. Are you getting the rpm from the citrix download site or from your package manager? I assume opensuse is packaging an x86_64 rpm?

I think I only had success by downloading the tar.gz and running the binary installer... and there is no x86_64 download from citrix. Client version 7 or 8 needed some tweaking, but 10 automagically made everything work, including firefox. I haven't used the latest.

... and sorry I was confusing, I was very tired and not very clear:

When prompted to save the ICA file, select the "Open with" radio button and push the "Browse" button. Then select wfica in the path you listed. There is probably a more firefox guru way of doing it, but that's what I've done in the past. See the attached image.

Cool

Thanks a lot man! It worked from what you pointed me out, specially on linking the wfica with the firefox.

I have also got a look over the documentation http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/dow...le%2FCTX120175 and this interesting short article http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX120175.

Cheers!
