Downloading ICA

[kwilliams]

Is there a way for a user to run a application on the Winframe server without loading the ICA file to the user's PC? Can the ICA run on the server instead?



Thanks for your help.

Yes and No. If you are talking about simply storage, the ICA client can be installed on a remote server and the client would run it from that. But if your taling about the client being loaded, no. The nature of Winframe and ICA is client-server. The client sends and recieves information from the server side. Without ICA client loaded locally (In memory) Citrix cannot be used.

Another way around this is the activate the application on a Web Server. Then the client would use a Browser and the application would run within it. However, it will copy over a ActiveX control for IE and you will need a plug in for Netscape or you can use the Java client provided by Citrix. Check it out at download.citrix.com because it is easy to setup

We are already doing that. Our program loads the ActiveX/Plug-In to the client's machine if it isn't already loaded. The problem is, the ICA file also gets loaded (and saved) on the client's machine. Then, if the user click on that ICA file, it will launch, circumventing the SecurID process. We can't get the ICA to just run from the web server and not load to the client pc. Any suggestions?



Thanks.
