14.3 Installing the Citrix ICA and Microsoft RDP Clients to Workstations

In order for the ZENworks Launch gadget to launch terminal server applications, the workstation must have the Citrix ICA client and Microsoft RDP client installed.

ICA Client

The ZENworks Launch gadget requires the workstation to have either the ICA Program Neighborhood (PN) client or the ICA Web client installed. If the PN client or Web client is not already installed on your users’ workstations:

  1. Download the PN client or the Web client files from the Citrix Download Clients site.

  2. Distribute the client files to each workstation. To do so:

    1. For the Web client, copy the wficat.cab file to the following location on your portal server:

      tomcat\webapps\nps\portal\gadgets\com.novell.ondemand.gadgets.zenlaunchgadget\bin

      When a user launches a terminal server application that you've configured to run in an ICA client session, the Launch gadget uses the .cab file to install the Web client.

    2. For the PN client, follow the installation instructions in the Citrix Administrator's Guide, or use Novell Application Launcher to distribute the client files.

      or

      Rename the PN client file to wficat.cab and copy it to the following location on your portal server:

      tomcat\webapps\nps\portal\gadgets\com.novell.ondemand.gadgets.ZENLaunchGadget\bin

RDP Client

The Microsoft RDP 5.1 client (msrdp.ocx) is included with the ZENworks Launch gadget. When a user launches a terminal server application that you've configured to run in an RDP client session, the Launch gadget installs the msrdp.ocx file to the c:\program files\novell\zenworks directory on the user's workstation and registers the .ocx file.
