Re: [U2] Citrix with Universe
Hi - I have had experiance of a VB app that connects to Unidata, with the VB app distributed via citrix.- This was on windows, but I believe there is a mac citrix client so it should be fine. One thing to note is that we did use the IP address of the vb client for security, however in a citrix environment the ip address of each vb client is the ip of the citrix farm ( i.e. they are all the same) and not the end user so you may need to do some changes there.

Re: [U2] Citrix with Universe
Hi Mike, Given that you're running a custom VB app, the question you pose is a bit more about citrix/mac than it is about universe. Citrix will provide remote access to any app from the citrix client. Your VB app will run on a windows box with citrix server software. Citrix does have mac clients (9 and 10), so what you suggest is certainly feasible. Issues related to running any app under citrix include running multiple client instances (can your app run multiple instances on one windows box?), scale (each citrix server will run multiple instances of your app -- how many will you need to provide adequate performance?), security (your users will have a citrix logon and an application logon unless you take steps to merge 'em) and access to local resources (e.g., your app running on a central citrix server may want to try to print to a local printer -- citrix helps here, but can be tricky). VNC is another option, depending on needs. Much less ability (but hence, simpler ...). I've run citrix farms supporting 100s of concurrent users accessing an app from 50-100 locations over a WAN on various platforms. I'm not a big fan of Citrix, but it is definately a best-of-class solution to a set of problems (I try to avoid having this particular set of problems, but sometimes can't be avoided!). Hope this helps and I'm sure others out there will have thoughts as well.

RE: [U2] Citrix with Universe
We have a client that uses Remote Desktop on Linux and loves it. There is also a version for the Mac. It should be a little lighter than Citrix.
