Cliente Citrix
Este artículo describe cómo instalar y configurar The Citrix Client en Slackware. Hoy en día este cliente es mejor conocido como el “Receptor Citrix”.
Al citar el sitio web de Citrix: “ Citrix Receiver es un software cliente fácil de instalar que le permite acceder a sus documentos, aplicaciones y escritorios desde cualquiera de sus dispositivos, incluidos teléfonos inteligentes, tabletas y PC ”. Suponiendo que, por supuesto, alguien (por lo general, la compañía de su empleador) ha configurado un servidor Citrix en algún lugar donde el receptor puede hacer sus conexiones remotas.
Requirements
- The Citrix Receiver is binary-only proprietary software. Therefore it should not come as a surprise that this Receiver software is 32-bit only. You either need to run 32-bit Slackware, or 64-bit Slackware with added multilib.
- THe Citrix Receiver is linked against the commercial and binary-only Motif graphical X-Window widget library. This creates an incompatibility with Slackware's own lesstif widget library, a free re-implementation of Motif. You must remove the lesstif package and install a (open)motif package or else the Citrix Client will not run. An openmotif package (openmotif is a non-commercial, free version of Motif) can be found here: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/openmotif/
Download and install
On the Citrix web site, search for “linux client (32bits)”. At the moment of writing, the search path is:
http://www.citrix.com/downloads/ > “Citrix Receiver” > “Receiver for Linux” > “x86 client - requires OpenMotif v.2.3.1 (tar.gz version)”
Create a temporary directory if you want, and as root, extract the tarball and run the installer:
# mkdir icaclient # cd icaclient/ # tar xvf ~/downloads/linuxx86_12.1.0.203066.tar.gz
Run the “setupwfc” program and accept all the default values which it offers. If you do not want to use the default installation directory “/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/
” then you will have to define the environment variable “ICAROOT
” and point that to your custom installation directory.
The “setupwfc
” program will ask you if you desire browser integration and integration with the KDE Desktop Environment. That is good to have so the answer you give is “yes”. As a result, the application links in your company's Citrix Server will automatically work.
# ./setupwfc
Configuration
The Citrix client/server communication uses SSL encryption. Your company may be using a SSL certificate for which the CA certificate is not yet known to the Citrix Client.
- When you see the following error message:
You have chosen not to trust "Thawte Premium Server CA", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).
then edit this file:
/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/config/Trusted_Region.ini
where your company's Citrix Server domain name must be added as trusted proxy:
; If you allow a proxy type (Secure or Socks) that uses a server, ; you will need to change the ProxyHost line below to indicate which ; servers are trusted, for example: ; ProxyHost=,*.mycompany.com:*,*.mypartner.com:* ; ProxyHost=,*.yourcompany.com:*
- Create a certificate directory if that did not yet exist:
# mdir -p /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts
- Install the missing certificate (must have a “
.crt
” extension):# vi /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crt
- You can for instance find this CA certificate here:
/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crt
Caveats
If your Mozilla Firefox browser refuses to start the “icaclient
” that can be caused by a non-standard language setting. At work I have a localized Linux (configured for dutch language, so my “LANG
” environment variable is set to “nl_NL.UTF-8
”). This is what I had to do in order to fix this issue:
- If the file “
/usr/bin/firefox
” is a script (recent versions of firefox are putting a real binary there instead) you must add this one line somewhere near the beginning:export LANG=C
- If the file “
/usr/bin/firefox
” is a binary file, then you can for instance modify its desktop file “usr/share/applications/mozilla-firefox.desktop
” by changing the executable commandExec=firefox %u
to:
Exec=LANG=C firefox %u
