18.3 Configuring a Custom Login Policy for Citrix Clients

A custom-login policy must be configured to enable users to use a browser to access Citrix applications protected by Access Manager.This is because the browser settings of the client need to be modified so that connections to Citrix applications can happen through SSL VPN.

The following procedure configures a sample custom login policy for Citrix where all Linux users connecting from the Firefox browser on Linux are redirected to a page that modifies the browser settings and then redirects the user to the SSL VPN/login URL:

  1. In the Administration Console, click Devices > SSL VPNs > Edit.

  2. Select Client Policies from the policies section.

  3. Click New in the Custom Login section.

  4. Specify the following information in the New dialog box.

    Custom Action Name: Specify a name for the custom login policy. For example, modify_firefox_properties

    Redirect Condition:

    • Specify Firefox as the browser.

    • Specify Linux as the Operating Software.

    Redirect URL: Specify the redirect URL as http://<sslvpn-url>/sslvpn/pages/sslvpn-citrix.jar!configure_browser.html

  5. Click OK.

  6. Specify /login as the default URL. The user is redirected to this URL if none of the conditions are met.

  7. To save your modifications, click OK, then click Update on the Configuration page.
