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.
