Saving Logon Credentials when connecting with ICA

[Ally99]

Hi,

I am connecting to a Citrix session by a shortcut to an ICA file. Ideally I need for the user logon credentials to be saved after they have connected for the first time. Previously we were using Program Neighborhood to set this up and it worked OK. Is this actually possible to do when you connect with an ICA file?

Many Thanks.

In the ICA file find the following section:

The [EntryName] Section


The [EntryName] section begins with the EntryName defined in the [ApplicationServers] section enclosed in square brackets, or [Access] in the above example. The [EntryName] section contains the following fields:

TransportDriver=

The data transport type. Usually TCP/IP, but can also be IPX, SPX, or NetBIOS. This is a required field.

Address=

The address of the remote Citrix server. For TCP/IP connections, it can be the DNS name of a Citrix server, the IP address of a Citrix server, or the name of a published application, for example Database. For IPX, SPX, and NetBIOS connections, it can be the name of a Citrix server or the name of a published application. This is a required field.

WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0

Defines the presentation protocol as ICA 3.0. This is a required field.

Username=

Specifies the name of a user account to log on as. This is an optional field.

Domain=

Specifies the domain to log on to. This is an optional field.

Password=

Specifies the password for the user account. This is an optional field. The password, if used, must be encrypted. To enter an encrypted password into the ICA file, use the Citrix ICA Client Remote Application Manager New Entry Wizard to create a remote application entry. When you are prompted for the username and password, enter the password that you want to use in the ICA file. Finish the New Entry wizard. Open the file APPSRV.INI in the Windows directory and locate the entry you just created. Copy the password value and paste it into your ICA file.

ClearPassword=

Specifies the clear text (unencrypted) password for the user account. This is an optional field. To use a clear text password, the Password field must be set to a null value (for example: Password=).
