To connect a disconnected session
To connect to a selected disconnected session

On the Actions menu, click Connect.

Your session is disconnected and replaced with a connection to the selected session.

Notes

Your computer must be capable of supporting the video resolution used by the session to which you just connected. Otherwise, the operation fails. Disconnected sessions other than the console cannot be connected to the system console.

You do not have to enter a password if you are connecting using your own session. If you are connecting using a user's session, you are prompted for the user's password.


To disconnect the selected sessions

On the Actions menu, click Disconnect.

Notes

A disconnected session appears as a session with no associated server in the "disc" (disconnected) state. You cannot disconnect a session running at the system console.

When a session is disconnected, it is still running until it is terminated. If you log on to a server and create a new session, the Citrix server detects that you already have an active session open, terminates the new session, and connects you to the existing open session.

If you connect to your previously disconnected session, you do not have to enter a password. If you are connecting to a user's session, you are prompted for the user's password.

Your computer must be capable of supporting the video resolution used by the session to which you just connected. Otherwise, the operation fails.

Enter multiple lines in either box by pressing CTRL+ENTER to move to a new line.


To shadow a selected session

On the Actions menu, click Shadow.

Shadowing is supported by Citrix ICA Clients only.

Notes

Shadowing a session allows you to monitor the actions of users. Before shadowing begins, the server warns the user that the session will be shadowed and allows the user to confirm or deny shadowing, unless this warning is disabled. Use Citrix Connection Configuration to set shadowing defaults by connection type and use User Manager for Domains to set shadowing defaults by user.

The shadowing session must be capable of supporting the video resolution used at the shadowed session. Otherwise, the operation fails. You cannot shadow the system console from another session, and you cannot shadow other sessions from the system console.

Press CTRL+* (or whatever hotkey you define) to terminate shadowing.


To reset disconnected sessions

On the Actions menu, click Reset.

ICA Gateways Overview
 ICA Gateways

This screen lists ICA Gateways on the local network.

You must configure an ICA Gateway for ICA Clients or servers to contact Citrix servers on a different network.

Server browsing is used to obtain a list of available Citrix servers, published applications, and server farms for a given network type. The server browser system consists of a master ICA Browser, ICA Browsers, and client systems. The master ICA Browser maintains the browse list and periodically obtains updates from the other browsers (other Citrix servers) on the same network. ICA Gateways allow the master ICA Browser to obtain updates from Citrix servers on other networks.

You can configure a single ICA Gateway to also pool user counts between two network subnets. An ICA Gateway that also passes user count data is called a license gateway. Once the license gateway is established, the pooled user counts from servers on each subnet are available to servers on the other subnet. You can configure only one ICA Gateway as a license gateway on a network subnet. User counts cannot be shared among more than two network subnets.

Local Server. This Citrix server stores the ICA Gateway information and is responsible for contacting the remote network and setting up a link between the master ICA Browsers on each network.

Type. The type of network for the ICA Gateway. This must be a routable protocol (IPX or TCP/IP).

Remote Server Address. The TCP/IP or IPX address of a Citrix server on another network.

Current ICA Gateways with license pooling enabled. The IPX or TCP/IP gateway that is configured to pool user counts.

Note

The network must be configured to route ICA Browser packets between the network subnets connected by the ICA Gateway.

 This window shows the list of gateways.


 Use this to add an ICA gateway to a remote network.


 Select an existing ICA gateway and click delete to turn off the gateway.


 To add an ICA Gateway

An ICA Gateway is used to allow ICA Clients or servers to contact Citrix servers on a different network subnet.

1	Click All listed servers in the server pane.

2	On the ICA Gateways tab, click Add.

3	Click a server to store the gateway information.

4	Click the type of network (TCP/IP or IPX) for this ICA Gateway.

5	Type the network address or name of a Citrix server on a different network.

The ICA Gateway is established between the two networks and the master ICA Browsers on each network share information about available Citrix servers.

Note

The network must be configured to route ICA Browser packets between the network subnets connected by the ICA Gateway.

Hide from ICA Client's server list

Prevents the server from appearing in the ICA Client's server list. Use this to allow ICA Clients to view published applications, but not the actual servers containing the published applications.


Disable ICA gateways

Prevents the ICA Browser from establishing an ICA Gateway or responding to ICA Gateway requests. Use this to disable a gateway configured on this server without removing it from the list of ICA Gateways.

Note

If this server is acting as the master ICA Browser for a protocol, ICA Gateways for that protocol are disabled. Otherwise, disabling the ICA Gateways on a single server has no affect on other ICA Gateways that may be configured.


Do not participate in TCP network

Prevents the ICA Browser on the selected server from sending any ICA Browser network packets on TCP/IP networks and prevents the selected server from sending any data to the TCP/IP master ICA Browser. Disabling the ICA Browser:

Prevents the selected server from appearing in any ICA Client's TCP/IP server list.

Prevents any ICA Clients from using the ICA Browser system to resolve server names to addresses.

Prevents clients from using TCP/IP to connect to applications published on this server.

Important

If TCP/IP is the only network protocol installed on the server:

Prevents the server from contributing pooled licenses.

Prevents the server from participating in a server farm.


Do not participate in IPX network

Prevents the ICA Browser on the selected server from sending any ICA Browser network packets on IPX networks and prevents the selected server from sending any data to the IPX master ICA Browser. Disabling the ICA Browser:

Prevents the selected server from appearing in any ICA Client's IPX server list.

Prevents any ICA Clients from using the ICA Browser system to resolve server names to addresses.

Prevents clients from using IPX to connect to applications published on this server.

Important

If IPX is the only network protocol installed on the server:

Prevents the server from contributing pooled licenses.

Prevents the server from participating in a server farm.


Do not participate in NetBIOS network

Prevents the ICA Browser on the selected server from sending any ICA Browser network packets on NetBIOS networks and prevents the selected server from sending any data to the NetBIOS master ICA Browser. Disabling the ICA Browser:

Prevents the selected server from appearing in any ICA Client's NetBIOS server list.

Prevents any ICA Clients from using the ICA Browser system to resolve server names to addresses.

Prevents clients from using NetBIOS to connect to applications published on this server.

Important

If NetBIOS is the only network protocol installed on the server:

Prevents the server from contributing pooled licenses.

Prevents the server from participating in a server farm.


Master ICA Browser Update Delay

Controls the latency between when a client connects or disconnects and when the ICA Browser on this server updates the master ICA Browser.


Master ICA Browser Refresh Delay

Controls how often the ICA Browser on this server updates the master ICA Browser. The ICA Browser updates the master ICA Browser after the amount of time specified in Master ICA Browser Refresh Delay elapses. Set the delay time to zero to disable timed updates.

Lower delay times make the master ICA Browser data more accurate, but increase CPU and network load.  Lower this value when using load balancing.

The ICA Browser on this server also updates the master ICA Browser after an ICA Browser election or when an ICA Client connects or disconnects.


Always attempt to become the Master ICA Browser

Configures this server to act as the master ICA Browser for all network protocols. You should only configure one server as the master ICA Browser.

Note

If another ICA Browser is configured to become the master ICA Browser, one of the servers is elected as the master ICA Browser based on the ICA Browser election criteria.

If a newer version of the ICA Browser is present, that server is elected the master ICA Browser.


Do not attempt to become the Master ICA Browser

Configures this server to not be the master ICA Browser for all network protocols.

Note

If this is the only server on the network subnet it is elected the master ICA Browser.


No Preference

Configures this server to participate in master ICA Browser elections normally.


Number of Backup ICA Browsers

Configures this server to send license pooling data to other servers when this server is the master ICA Browser.

Storing licensing pooling data on other servers provides for redundancy. If a new master ICA Browser is elected, the license pooling data is restored from the backup ICA Browsers.
