Anonymous Users and Shared Resources

[jdemmi]

I have a published application (explicit) that accesses a file on an exteral resource (internal NT server). This file is in a SHARED folder which EVERYONE has full control of. And the file has EVERYONE with CHANGE access. We would like to publish the application anonymously, but when we do so the application (and the user) can no longer access the shared file. Is there any way around this? (Since anonymous accounts are local to the server). If you need more details please let me know. (This file must remain on this shared resource as it is update frequently and is accessed by 3 servers.

Example: Citrix Server A runs Application B. During execution (launch) Application B opens File C which resided on NT Server D.


HELP!

Hi
Each usr has his own acoount on the NTdomain, I presume. If so you can either publish this as an explicit application so user will have to use there NT logon account, or if you publish this as an anonymous application, This is what you might want to try :
1. Create a local account on serverD 'RemoteUser' password = 'secret', say, and allow this account to connect from the network.
2. Write a batch file with net use command
net use \\serverD\sharedDrive secret /user:ServerD\RemoteUser
and then the usual command to run your application.
This batch file will be the command to run your publish application. Every time user connect he will be connected to ServerD as ServerD\RemoteUser.
This shuold work.
Good luck
