Creating a Connection
This topic describes how to make a connection to a Citrix server,
and how to edit the connection details. To connect to a Citrix
server you need to have a user name and password set up for you
on the server, and you need to know the name of the server and
(where required) the domain.
To define a connection
- Choose New... from the Entry menu, or click
the New Entry icon. The Properties dialog box is displayed
to allow you to define a new connection:
- Edit the Description to describe the
connection you are creating. The description is used to identify
the connection in the Citrix ICA Client window.
- Select Server or Published Application. Choose
a Citrix server or published application from the drop-down list.
Alternatively, you can type the name of Citrix server or published
application that you want to connect to.
- If you want to log in as a specific user, select the Login page. Enter the appropriate details
in the Username, Domain (when required), and Password
boxes. If you leave the fields blank you are prompted for them,
if necessary, when you connect.
- Click OK to create a connection with
the properties you have specified. The Citrix ICA Client
window shows the connection you have created:
Note: If no Citrix servers or published applications
appear in the drop-down list, see Setting
Server Location.
