Controlling which users log onto which server

[pgaliardo]

We have a farm of 6 servers. We use a Desktop published application. All 6 servers a part of Desktop. Is there a way stop a specific user from ever getting to 1 specific server? Here's the scenario: We run an application that uses a private business network over frame relay to connect to a provider's mainframe. To do this, we had to add a secondary IP address provided by the Frame relay provider to each server. Problem is, we were assigned 5 IP addresses and we just added the 6th terminal server. So TS6 does not have the necessary secondary IP address to use this application.

It's too much of a hassle to get a different pool of addresses, or additional addresses. So what I would like to do is to make sure that the couple of users who use this application, never go to TS6.

I know I can set up specific connections to the servers in their Program Neighborhood, but my preference would be that they use Desktop. So I would like them to click Desktop, but make sure they never go to TS6. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?

Thanks.

I think all that you would have to do is pretty simple. Don't publish the application to your 6th TS.

You should look into the Citrix Access Gatesway, one point of entry for all citrix published apps.

The cost is very reasonable for what the unit can do. We sat through a demo recently and I was very impressed.
