1.2 About Citrix Application Deployment

There are three modes of Citrix application deployment:

Deployment

Description

Full Desktop

Only the Citrix client runs on the Desktop and all other applications operate on the Citrix server.

Published Applications

A combination of applications operating on the Desktop and some accessed (published) using the Citrix server.

Citrix Desktop and Published Applications

The option to run a full Citrix Desktop or a combination of Citrix published applications published and applications executed on the workstation.

1.2.1 Corporate Directory Deployment

In corporate directory environments SecureLogin data is stored on the directory. To facilitate this, the directory schema is extended to include SecureLogin attributes. For more information on extending the directory schema for your directory, refer to the Novell SecureLogin 6.0 SP1 Installation Guide. If you have previously installed SecureLogin version 3.5.x the required SecureLogin attributes are already installed.

1.2.2 Full Citrix Desktop Deployment

Full Citrix Desktop Deployment requires SecureLogin schema extensions on the network directory server and client installation on the Citrix server. Users operate SecureLogin using the Citrix server remotely and their SecureLogin user data is stored on the Citrix server and the network directory.

1.2.3 Published Application Deployment

Deploying published applications requires SecureLogin schema extensions on the network directory server with client installation on the Citrix server and user workstation. SecureLogin executes from the workstation to log onto applications published on the Citrix server. SecureLogin user data is only required to be stored on the user's workstation for graphical identification and authentication library (GINA) to GINA pass through unless SecureLogin is needed for SSO to applications that are running on that workstation.

Deploying published applications requires SecureLogin on the network directory server with client installation on the Citrix server and user workstation. SecureLogin executes from the workstation to log onto applications published on the Citrix server. SecureLogin user data is stored on the directory server and the user’s workstation.

1.2.4 Citrix Desktop and Published Application Deployment

The Citrix Desktop and Published Applications requires:

  • SecureLogin schema extensions on the network directory server
  • Citrix server and the user workstation

SecureLogin executes from the workstation or the Citrix server, depending on the mode selected by the user. SecureLogin user data is stored on the directory server, the Citrix server and the user workstation.
