So FS claims to work on Xen desktop so I’m hopeful and if we figure it out I’ll 
definitely let you know how we did it.  FS sent me some documentation yesterday 
that I forwarded to the prospective employer to get their input.

I should have known that you would know how to do this.:)

I forgot that you had done a ton of corporate engineering work, probably ran in 
to this all the time.  I was always in the network group so as long as I had 
elements access I was good, usually my customers used SANE or some other radius 
based gimmick.

I’ll ping you off list unless others have an interest as well.

Would be great to do this with Voice Over but if I have to use a VM I will.

Hi Tim,

 Just a thought here for you to put to the people running the AD servers,

 If your running windows, vpn in if your not already,
 And if your windows machine is part of the domain your connected to then run 
up the active directory admin tools 
Ms have them listed as 
RSAT  install those to yoru machine and then you can work directly on the AD 
inferstructure of the system with the ad tools on your machine, all works great,

It sounds like that scenario wouldn't work in my world.  The Citrix server is 
off-site and does not have any screen reader software on it, nor do I believe 
that they'd consider going that direction.  So far, I just use it for AD things

RE: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

2016-06-01 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Tim and others,

This is stuff I do both at work and home.

 For jaws to work in a windows remote situation 
Jaws has to be firstly installed on the server or machine that you are 
connecting to remotely. E.g. the server.

 In the jaws installation settings there is an option for either typical or 
custom setup.

Here the user chooses custom and then in the next screan arrows down once to 
the remote option and tapping the space bar will give you a number of different 
settings I always choose to run everything from the local hard drive 
After that you can carry on and finish the installation of jaws, 

Then on your own windows environment or machine you have jaws setup and again 
you will have had to install it with the remote settings installed either 
server all or client, 
Once that is installed and your client / local machine has a valid jaws 
authorisation you can run up the windows remote desktop program  RDP  and start 
a connection to the server machine,

One of the tabs in the RDP client in windows is to allow you to start up 
applications on the server machine remotely at log in, here I normally set mine 
to start jaws on my own servers / machines and not worry about group policies.

 Once you have logged in to the server machine remotely and with luck jaws is 
running  your using a slightly slower version of windows as you would on your 
local machine 

Simple as that really.. that's windows to windows.

I've not tried anything else recently in the way of remote tools such as VNC  
but last time I did try it they didn't work for me 

The windows rdp tool uses the jaws authorisation key on your local machine to 
licence the jaws on the remote machine otherwise it wont work for us.
I believe the remote session is a form of graphical interface but don't ask me 
what is different.

 As for a mac to windows,
I've not tried this recently or at least since I think it was Mountaion lion,  
but the VNC in mac OSX didn't work at all for me, and the mac version of the 
Microsoft RDC remote desktop connection allowed me to connect to my windows 
machine and start up jaws, but jaws had no real functionality due to the 
graphical interface of the remote tool being used,

 And jaws also wouldn't pick up on the authorisation key dongle I was using via 
USB 

As for citrix on the mac to a windows environment I've not tried that but I'm 
guessing here that it wouldn't be a success for a screan reader user 

Hope this makes sense to folks and it is of some use.

Chers,

RE: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

2016-06-01 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Scott,

 Interestingly enough I've just been through a similar situation with my 
current employer.

 I know for a fact Jaws will work with citrix in a similar situation to the way 
jaws works with Remote Desktop on windows computers,

 Jaws needs to be installed to the citrix server and then you run a remote like 
session  of jaws through the connection to the citrix server,
 If this is setup correctly then starting jaws at the log in and automatically 
afterwards should be doable with a Group policy on the windows server your 
authenticating to.

 I haven't tried it as their support in NZ is crap, but I believe window eyes 
has the same type of featurt and should work the same way.
 Again I've not tried window eyes but jaws I have.

 Now the thing you didn't want to hear and is still got me looking in to legal 
action.

 Citrix now have a system where the desktop being logged in to is a skin 
windows 7 or 8.1 over a server 2008r2  server environment,
I think from memory it's called xenapp.. This is the V D I,

The user would log in through a webpage that kicks in to life a citrix receiver 
application and then through that the user can log on to their virtual windows 
7 machine.

This is what we currently have at work for some staff and our student managed 
desktop environment.

 Now I'm not saying that our techs at work are no good but so far in the 18 
months we've had this system, they have not been able to get jaws installed and 
to work in a full activated mode.
They have installed it or published it to the VDI package with other 
applications and had it work in a state that is not enabled for a terminal 
session but that lasted about 1 minute before we killed it.

I still think it can be done but that our techs didn't have the no how or 
ability to make it work and their attitude was along the lines of well you’re 
the only blind person there fore it's not of great importance 

So all I can say is if you've got good technitians aroud you that will look in 
to this with the wish to make it happen, then go for it.
And Please let me know how you get it working!

 Otherwise it may not be a solution for you sorry to say, I so hope I'm wrong 

Good luck and I hope you can get this to work I really do.

Good luckl.

Re: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

2016-05-31 Thread Scott Granados
I should have known that you would know how to do this.:)

I forgot that you had done a ton of corporate engineering work, probably ran in 
to this all the time.  I was always in the network group so as long as I had 
elements access I was good, usually my customers used SANE or some other radius 
based gimmick.

I’ll ping you off list unless others have an interest as well.

Would be great to do this with Voice Over but if I have to use a VM I will.

Citrix has both a desktop and zen application mode. In either case you need to 
run jaws or Windows eyes  both locally and remotely for best results. Feel free 
to contact me for more details.

Mary, major appreciation for that pointer.  I do have office and an office 365 
account so I’ll check that out.

SO I’m encouraged by the fact the thing I need support for is mentioned by name 
on the window eyes home page front page.  I figure or at least I’m hopeful

Scott,
If you have office for windows, you can get window eyes free. No dollars. Also, 
I am not sure about Citrix and how much it might change. I remember years ago 
when window eyes started supporting it. That was a long time ago, and since I 
know nothing about Citrix and the changes that have happened in window eyes, I 
have no clue if the support is still good. Good luck.

Re: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

2016-05-31 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

It sounds like that scenario wouldn't work in my world.  The Citrix server is 
off-site and does not have any screen reader software on it, nor do I believe 
that they'd consider going that direction.  So far, I just use it for AD things 
and we've tunnelled into the Server for me to use JFW on my local machine.  
Don't need to do things very often anymore in that respect, so don't access it 
much.

Later...

Basically, that’s how I understand it works.

Does seem possible from some googling but doesn’t necessarily look easy.

jJFW redirects the audio from the far end machine over the remote session back 
to your local machine to be spoken so you can tell what you’re doing.  
Basically, that’s how I understand it works.

Does seem possible from some googling but doesn’t necessarily look easy.

Re: question about remotely accessing a Citrix VDI?

2016-05-31 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

I'd be interested in this sort of thing as well.  for the moment, I've just 
given up on Citrix.  From my Mac, all the initial connection stuff through the 
browser is fine, links to the various apps and shared items is all great, but 
as soon as I'm inside the virtual app environment or the shared folder group, 
all accessibility is lost.  Not sure how JFW or other Windows stuff handles 
this as I don't usually use them. other than to access Active Directory.

Later...

Hi list, hoping some of the folks out there have run in to this and can provide 
some pointers.  I am considering taking a new job and one of the requirements 
is to access a virtual desktop environment. It can be accessed via web browser

machine running windows 7 and JFW.  The virtual desktop is windows 7.  What 
tools do I need or what’s the process for remotely accessing this resource?  
I’ve used the remote desktop features of JFW years ago, is this something 
similar?

Any help would be most appreciated.  Host environment is Mac but we can run 
anything as a VM.  Also open to other screen readers if JFW isn’t the best 
option.
