Gentlemen,

Have you considered using Windows Services for Unix ?

I used the earlier edition (2.0) for a Fortune 1000
firm to authenticate in a scripted process to take a
file from a Unix system and then transfer this to a
Windows shared area for further processing under an
SQL process on Windows.  The only issue was that the
login ID had to be an IT Staff person because they
were the only persons that had need for access between
systems. It works well working with a Programmer for
the apps side and NFS.
 

Here is a URL to the current Service 3.5 :

  
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/interopmigration/bb380242.aspx
 

and here is a URL to a search that then included
Citrix :

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?query=unix%20services%20for%20windows%20citrix&ac=3
 

There are 657 matches that might be more specific to
your inquiry in relation to these three (3) systems
(Windows, Unix/Linux, Citrix).

I hope this direction is helpful or is able to then
spark a bit of inspiration for a solution.  Just my
bit to help a Lopsa member.

Sincerely,
