A user who does not install the Citrix client manually before clicking on a Citrix shortcut would be sent through a series of prompts to install an ActiveX control, but that installation will fail because the appliance cannot properly distribute the XenApp MSI file to users. Internet Explorer will end up blocking the download or will not properly prompt the user to install it.
YES NO. Main Menu. Solutions Image Widgets. Partners Image Widgets. Once the Receiver X1 will be released GA there will be no need for any of the other Receiver editions mentioned earlier: The Receiver for Enterprise, for example.
FMA fact : The Receiver X1 combined with StoreFront will greatly simplify overall management and improve the user experience on multiple levels. It offers a set of capabilities or technologies that offer a high-definition user experience, which are built on top of the ICA remoting protocol.
Once a resource is launched, once all background communications are done and load-balancing decisions have been made, one of the first things that will take place is something referred to as the ICA handshake. During this phase, the client Receiver and the server VDA will exchange information on the virtual channels that the client supports: here the client basically tells the server which specific capabilities virtual channels it can or should use during the connection.
This way the server knows what to expect and what virtual channels it can or should use. Virtual channels , you say? I know, virtual channels? A big part of the communication between the client and the server takes place over and through what Citrix refers to as virtual channels and not just Citrix by the way. Each virtual channel consists of a client-side virtual driver part of Receiver that communicates with a server-side application part of the VDA.
However, the Citrix Receiver also supports a whole bunch of additional features and functionalities that do not involve or need a virtual channel. LikeFramehawk and ThinWirePlus, for example. Those were released as part of Feature Pack 3 for XenDesktop 7. Each virtual channel represents a specific feature or functionality on its own.
ThinWire has always been there. It is a core component of the ICA virtual display channel stack for over twenty years now. So, you see, most features and functionalities configured at server level mainly through policies will need to be supported by the client as well; there is a strong dependency between the two think about the ICA handshake mentioned earlier.
While these types of features and functionalities mainly apply to components like StoreFront, NetScaler etc. As mentioned, some of the bigger and better-known features that get built into XenDesktop come with their own virtual channel; however, the Citrix Receiver also has an extensive and impressive list of features that it is capable of without the need for a virtual channel.
Check out the link below to find out more:. Although not mentioned on the Receiver Feature Matrix, the Desktop lock is another example. It is dependent on the type and version of Receiver installed and probably best described as an add-on on top of Receiver. The Desktop Lock feature is often used when thin clients are not optional, and you do not want to get rid of your older desktop machines just yet. But there is more. Connection information. During the StoreFront section earlier, I already mentioned a couple of ways how users can connect up to StoreFront using Citrix Receiver.
First, and this is a popular approach, you can configure something called e-mail-based account discovery. This way, all your users will have to do is fill in their email address. The user will then be prompted to log on using their domain credentials. FMA fact : If you want to make use of e-mail-based discovery you will need to use StoreFront, it does not work with Webinterface.
Using StoreFront, you can also create your own provisioning files, which contain connection details needed for your users to connect.
Once Receiver is installed all they have to do is double-click the provisioning file and Receiver will be automatically configured. When using Receiver for Web sites, and many do, you can also offer the provisioning file on there. Just like with the Citrix Receiver installation file itself.

Overall Rating. This replaced the application isolation feature that was available in some previous versions of XenApp. By profiling an application using the Citrix Streaming Profiler you can stream the application down to a target Operating Systems without having to install anything apart from the Citrix Offline Plug-in. With Application Streaming you have the option of streaming the application to the client device, or to a XenApp server.
If you stream to a client device it will run locally on that device and consume local resources CPU, memory etc , if you stream to a XenApp server it will run on the XenApp server and be accessed over ICA just like a traditional XenApp server-installed application.
Streamed applications are cached on the target operating system and therefore only pulled across the network on first run or when the central package is updated. You install the Citrix client software once and then you can deploy pretty much any application to any machine without having to ever visit them again.
Because all the processing is done on the XenApp servers you can deploy apps that would potentially not run on older desktops. If you are considering thin clients you can potentially run all of your users on XenApp and get rid of the maintenance costs associated with PC Operating Systems and hardware.
Citrix streamed applications execute locally on the target Operating System within a sandbox isolation environment. This means that the applications cannot interfere with or break other applications on the target Operating System.
Streamed applications can be run offline on laptops for up to days.
