Ica Client For Windows 10
In recent releases of IE, Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, and latest Citrix Workspace App clients many of the issues mentioned below have been resolved.By default, the OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) should automatically set how to open ".ica" files when trying to launch any resource via Citrix Workspace or Citrix Storefront via the Web Store if the Citrix Workspace App is installed properly. Confirm Citrix Workspace App is installed or use Citrix Workspace App for HTML5 ("Web Browser" option) instead. If you continue to encounter this behavior please review the steps outlined below.
Repeat this for the .com, .net, .org, or .gov Web site addresses of your organization to allow the use of the ActiveX ICA client object for the launched connection to be automatically accepted. Note: It might be required to also add any additional subdomain.domain.com URLs to the Trusted sites list in the Security tab setting if still experiencing unwanted prompts.
Add the site to the Trusted sites list: In the Security tab of Internet Options, add the Web Interface site to Trusted Sites list to allow the use of the ActiveX ICA client object for the launch.
Indicates if bidirectional content redirection between the client and the host is enabled. For more information, see the Bidirectional content redirection policy settings section in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.
Indicates that Citrix Workspace app is installed with the client-side Local App Access component. Install the workspace app with administrator privileges for this component to work. See the Local App Access section in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation for more information.
Citrix Workspace app for Windows offers Client App Management capability that makes the Citrix Workspace app a single client app required on the end point to install and manage agents such as Secure Access Agent and End Point Analysis (EPA) plug-in.
App Protection feature is an add-on feature that provides enhanced security when using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service). The feature restricts the ability of clients to compromise with keylogging and screen capturing malware. App Protection prevents exfiltration of confidential information such as user credentials and sensitive information on the screen. The feature prevents users and attackers from taking screenshots and from using keyloggers to glean and exploit sensitive information.
HDX adaptive throughput intelligently fine-tunes the peak throughput of the ICA session by adjusting output buffers. The number of output buffers is initially set at a high value. This high value allows data to be transmitted to the client more quickly and efficiently, especially in high latency networks.
HDX adaptive throughput changes the output buffers by moving the mechanism from the client to the VDA. So, adjusting the number of output buffers on the client as described in CTX125027 has no effect.
This feature lets you define a virtual monitor layout that applies to the remote desktop. You can also split a single client monitor virtually into up to eight monitors on the remote desktop. You can configure the virtual monitors on the Monitor Layout tab in the Desktop Viewer. There, you can draw horizontal or vertical lines to separate the screen into virtual monitors. The screen is split according to specified percentages of the client monitor resolution.
This configuration applies only to full-screen, single-monitor desktop sessions, and does not affect any published applications. This configuration applies to all subsequent connections from this client.
If the client machine has been configured to support Domain Passthrough (SSON) authentication, prelaunch is automatically enabled. If you want to use Domain Pass-through (SSON) without prelaunch, set the EnablePreLaunch registry key value tofalse.
The bidirectional content redirection policy allows you to enable or disable client to host and host to client URL redirection. Server policies are set in Studio, and client policies are set from the Citrix Workspace app Group Policy Object administration template.
To enable bidirectional content redirection, run the redirector.exe /RegIE command on the Citrix Workspace app client and from the Citrix Workspace app installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client).
If you have multiple Desktop Viewer windows, by default the desktops that are not active are dimmed. If users want to view multiple desktops simultaneously, information on them might be unreadable. You can disable the default behavior and prevent the Desktop Viewer window from dimming by editing the Registry editor.
To disable generic client IME, run the wfica32.exe /localgenericime:off command from the Citrix Workspace app installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client. This command does not affect keyboard layout synchronization settings.
Citrix Workspace app supports toggle functionality for this feature. You can run the wfica32.exe /localgenericime:on command to enable or disable the feature. However, the keyboard layout synchronization settings take precedence over the toggle switch. If keyboard layout synchronization is set to Off, toggling does not enable generic client IME.
Keyboard layout synchronization enables you to switch among preferred keyboard layouts on the client device. This feature is disabled by default. The keyboard layout synchronization allows the client keyboard layout to automatically synchronize to the virtual apps and desktops session.
Allow dynamic sync - From the drop-down menu, select Yes or No. This option synchronizes the client keyboard layout to the server when you change the client keyboard layout. When selected, this option also enables the client IME for East Asian languages.
Using the client keyboard layout option activates the Client IME (Input Method Editor). If users working in Japanese, Chinese, or Korean prefer to use the Server IME, they must disable the client keyboard layout option by selecting No, or running wfica32:exe /localime:off. The session reverts to the keyboard layout provided by the remote server when they connect to the next session.
When a composite USB device is forwarded, the entire device becomes unavailable to the endpoint. Forwarding also blocks the local usage of the device for all applications on the endpoint, including the Citrix Workspace client needed for an optimized HDX remote experience.
To resolve these issues, Citrix recommends that you split the composite device and forward only the child interfaces that use a generic USB channel. Such mechanism ensures that the other child devices are available for use by applications on the client endpoint, including, the Citrix Workspace app that provides optimized HDX experiences, while allowing only the required devices to be forwarded and available to the remote session.
As with regular USB devices, device rules set in the policy or client Citrix Workspace app configuration on the end point select the composite devices for forwarding. Citrix Workspace app uses these rules to decide which USB devices to allow or prevent from forwarding to the remote session.
Alternatively, an administrator can override the user preferences by deploying the corresponding policies from Citrix Workspace app Group Policy Object administrative template. Both machine and user policies can be found under Administrative Templates > Citrix Components > Citrix Workspace > Remoting client devices > Generic USB Remoting. The corresponding policies are labeled as Existing USB Devices and New USB Devices respectively.
HDX Plug and Play USB device redirection enables dynamic redirection of media devices to the server. The media device includes cameras, scanners, media players, and point of sale (POS) devices. You or the user can restrict the redirection of all or some of the devices. Edit policies on the server or apply group policies on the user device to configure the redirection settings. For more information, see USB and client drive considerations in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.
You can map client COM ports at the command prompt. You can also control client COM port mapping from the Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) Configuration tool or using policies. For information about policies, see the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.
To use this COM port in a virtual desktop or application, install your user device to the mapped name. For example, if you map COM1 on the client to COM5 on the server, install your COM port device on COM5 during the session. Use this mapped COM port as you would a COM port on the user device.
For mass storage devices only, in addition to USB support, remote access is available through client drive mapping. You can configure this through the Citrix Workspace app for Windows policy Remoting client devices > Client drive mapping. When you apply this policy, the drives on the user device automatically map to drive letters on the virtual desktop when users log on. The drives are displayed as shared folders with mapped drive letters.
If you enable both Generic USB and the client drive-mapping policies and insert a mass storage device before a session starts, it is redirected using client drive mapping first, before being considered for redirection through USB support. If it is inserted after a session has started, it will be considered for redirection using USB support before client drive mapping. 2ff7e9595c
