Problem with citrix setting on HP thin client t610/Pro

[corsairetc]

Hello, I was bought HP thinclient t610/Pro with ThinPro 4.2 FW. I has problem with ICA connection whan I go to cennection - Add - Citrix it open window but here´s missing Server Type and choose published Apllication. Without it is my terminal absolutely usefull because I has two citrix presentation server with load balancin and published apllication.

Befora I was bought Thin terminal t5745/Pro and here the citrix work and client had choice to published apllication.

I attach the monitor screens with difference between citrix clients.

Many thanks for your advice.

Hello corsairetc,

I have the same problem. We have a XenApp 6.0 Farm with 5 Servers. I try to enter the Published Application in the "Auto Start Resource" field but it doesn't works. Do you have the smart zero client services?

same issue here! For some unkown reason HP has removed this option in their config tool.

As a workaround for now, you still can configure it as before through the original Citrix Receiver config. Go to the console and type wfcmgr. This will open the Config Manager. There you can configure everything as before.

If you need the connection to autostart when the thinclient starts up, you could simply create a custom connection in the HP Connection Manager and launch it through command line i.e.  wfica -desc "your connection name"

You can find details on the parameters here: http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/receiver-linux-12-1/linux-command-line-parameters.html

Hopefully HP is fixing this in a future release!

regards

Hello,

thx for your workaround. But when I type the command in the command line then I become an error.

Look at the attachement

Which image version do you have?

[Patrick_Buser]

the latest : T6X42019

Did you try to run the command in user or admin mode? Try sudo wfcmgr

Also, to be able to launch wfica through the custom connection, once you have configured the XenApp Connections through wfcmgr, you'll have to add sudo to the command, it won't be able to access the appsrv.ini file otherwise.

so the command looks something like: sudo wfica -desc "connection name"

I also had to give the "user" more permissions in "sudoers", otherwise it only worked in Admin mode.

to do this:

unlock the filesystem=>  "fsunlock"

to edit sudoers => visudo -f /etc/sudoers 

lock the filesystem => "fslock"

But anyway, it's really only a workaround for us, we won't rollout the image at our customers right now. The previous version T6X941019 works quite well.

good luck

pat

Hello,

thank you very much for your advice start the original citrix receiver (wfica)

last thing which I need is how to create icon on desktop with citrix connection, and let users start it from desktop.

I have a 5335z Thin client. There is a different between the 5335z and 5565z or?

It's not a problem in fact, it is just that "program neighborhood" is no more supported by Citrix with latests ICA clients, that's why it is no more included with thinpro update.

You will find more info from Citrix : http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX121727

What you need to do is installing a Citrix Web Interface and then connect to it through an url, it is very easy :

http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/terminal-services/general/configure-citrix-pro...

With a Web Interface, it's just a diffrent way to connect to your citrix farm, and of course you will still have load balancing.

About Thinpro Citrix setting,  after having your Web Interface ready, will just need to enter an url like : http://yourcitrixserver/Citrix/PNAgent/config.xml  and then, you're done.

I know this thread is a little old, but...  

I was able to get this working by adding the read permission to the /home/user/.ICAClient/appsrv.ini file..  without the sudoers and elevating the user in any way.

that said, 

Is there an easy way to replicate the wfmgr settings between thin clients?  This is only an interim step as our current wyse termials are dying, and we want to replace them with these, but do so in an orderly fassion.. 

I thought of just grabbing the .ICAClient, and replicating that to see if that will work.  tar it up, and grab it out of /tmp or something.    drop it on another client, and untar it. 

I'll test that next...

Thoughts???

Thanks
