I have just tried to install the 'latest' citrix linux client from citrix via an RPM. It requires /usr/lib/libXm.so.3, but 11.1 comes with /usr/lib/libXm.so.4. How have others sorted this? I need to access a web-based citrix server. Any advice on the best way on openSUSE 11.1? The java version seems not to work either...

have you tried making a symlink ?

That was my first reaction. But the rpm still complained. So I guess there is more to it than that. I don't like to install rpms telling them to ignore missing dependencies. At least not before I explore alternatives.

I am also wondering why the citrix java client, which the citrix server claims can be used and will be loaded when used, does not work (in Firefox). Not much in terms of error messages. The java that shows up in about:plugins in Firefox is "GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) 1.3". Is that all the Java stuff I should be seeing in Firefox?

Hi Roger I'd install the standard Sun JDK if possible - 1.5 or 1.6 according to the client's requirements. I've seen mixed results using the GCJ version. Cheers Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I did not make the link. Instead, I found that there was an RPM with the old lib, so I installed that.

I still cannot get Citrix to work via the linux or the java client. The Linux client install seems not to install anything in Firefox so that it is registered, making it hard for Firefox to use it. The java issue may be related to one in another thread with a bank site that would not find java. I will be trying that solution when I get a chance.

I really don't care which solution works. I just need access to a timesheet app, or the folk in salary will start to hunt me down.

Roger, I installed the citrix client on my 64bit openSUSE 11.1 (using zypper in .. it solves dependencies for you.. as opposed to rpm where you have to find them yourself). It indeed does not do much in Firefox but I don't have a problem with this. In our environment I can get an ica file from the webinterface which you can then feed to /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica.sh (I selected open with program in Firefox, and then allways do for this type of file.. and it's almost perfectly integrated like this). Alternatively, you can start /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr and configure the citrix client to connect to your server and find the available applications. Your admins might have information required.

Roger, I haven't tried this with 11.1 yet, (New HD for 11.1 should arrive tomorrow), but this should work for getting the published applications to work with Firefox. If your company is using a self-signed root certificate on the Citrix web server then to you need to do a few things. 1. You need to ask your Network administrator to give you a copy of the trusted root certificate file. It will be typically have a .cer file extension. 2. Import the *.cer file into Firefox and make sure it shows up in the Authorities tab in Firefox Certificate Manager. 3. As the root user, copy the *.cer file to /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/ folder. 4. Change to the /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/ folder then issue this command - chown root filename.cer 5. While still in the cacerts/ folder issue this command - chmod 444 filename.cer 6. Then mv filename.cer filename.crt 7. If the Citrix ICA plugin isn't showing up in the list of FireFox plugins, about:plugins, then you will need to create a symlink in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ to the npica.so plugin file in /usr/lib/ICAClient/. I don't remember if you will need to restart Firefox, but it wouldn't hurt. That should get you going. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have a certificate for this in Firefox. And I have told it to allow that one for sites, mail and software. But I get the same message. I am tempted to delete the certificate and see if I get a new try when I access the web site again. I don't really want to mess up certificates generally. So I am not sure if I should delete this one.

Did you do steps 3 thru 6? On re-reading my reply, it may not be apparent that there are three separate things that need to be done. Step 2 you have done. Steps 3 - 6 are necessary to make sure the Citrix client also recognize the root cert. Step 7 you have also done. If you haven't done Steps 3 - 6 do those then give it a try.

5. While still in the cacerts/ folder issue this command - chmod 444 filename.cer

I made this link and the browser now finds the plugin. So now if I click on an application in the web interface, I see that the client starts. However, I get the same message about the certificate.

But if there is a certificate listed in Firefox that has the same name, wouldn't that be enough? I will contact the IT guys about this. I just thought that the certificate already existed.

...

Step 2 you have done.

Steps 3 - 6 are necessary to make sure the Citrix client also recognize the root cert.

Step 7 you have also done.

If you haven't done Steps 3 - 6 do those then give it a try.

I will. But if I delete the certificate already there, wouldn't Firefox ask me if I anted to accept the certificate next time I tried?

You don't need to delete the certificate. Steps 3 - 6 don't have anything to do with Firefox. They are needed so the Citrix ICA client plug-in can use SSL.

You have to install the openmotif package which contains these libs. We run three machines which has to connect via the latest citrix client regularly, it works flawlessly. Opensuse 11.0 and 11.1.

I have openmotif installed. It has a different (newer) version of libXm than citrix wants. So you must have done more than the default install.

Install openmotif22-libs from the online repository. It's not on the DVD, but it is available in the main online OSS repository Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You find the libraries you need to run the citrix client here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.1/standard/x86_64/ope... The same libs works for 11.0, too.

...

What browser are you using to run the citrix client?

I do not use a browser, I run the client directly. We are currently running the actual client which you find here:

http://www.citrix.com/English/SS/downloads/details.asp?downloadID=3323&productID=-1

As you can see here, this page shows "requires OpenMotif 2.2.x", and these libs are in openmotif22-libs.

OK. I have the openmotif22-libs sorted and have installed the Citrix software via the RPM from the Citric download site (ICAClient-10.6-1.i386.rpm). When I go to our citrix web interface, I log in and then click on an app, like explorer - but it is the same for all: I get a popup that says: Error in ICA file: The line '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C (stuff deleted) /strict.dtd">' was encountered before a section was found. Please contact your MetaFrame administrator. In this case it is using the Java client. If I try to use the native client, it asks me where to save the .ica file. So it seems firefox does not know about this type of file. It lets me save it to a file. As you might guess, I am not a seasoned Citrix user. This is new to me. So I cannot differentiate between Citrix and openSUSE issues - yet. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
