I have an application that limits the users to only run one active session per PC(server). You can have multiple instances running, but only if it is on the same computer. If you try to run the application from a different PC, with your initial session still running, you would get an application error after putting in the applications userid and password. Basically, a pop up saying that the user XXXX is logged on to PC YYYY, do you want to kill the existing session so you can login?
However, when the user runs the application through our CAG they can run it more that once, since we only have it running on one citrix server. Citrix sees that there is an open session to the server runing the application, and doesn't even ask for the application user credentials. The app just opens up.
Now to run the management console for this same app you run the exact same .exe. You just put ADMIN after the .exe in the path. This works fine locally. BUT When they run that through Citrix it will only run once. It is very common for the admins of this program to have both running. (The normal .exe, and also the .exe with the switch)
Internally, running through Citrix Program neighborhood, it also allows this. (?) So, it seems to be related to how the CAG looks at the published app with the switch. If you look in Citrix Program Neighborhood Center (after trying to run through the CAG) it says that you are on 2 different servers even though it's only one server we are connecting to. The app is not installed/or published on another server.
When they log into the app from their desks using Citrix (internally they do not sign in through the CAG)the Citrix Program Neighborhood Center only shows 1 server.
I was thinking that there might be away to trick it using a batch shortcut, but I was wondering if anyone has seen this type of thing before.
