Sadly, I think you are out of luck. My understanding is that the Citrix Access Gateway "VPN" server is actually a browser hosted RDP-over-SSL solution. Since there isn't, as far as I know, any functional RDP server for Linux available you are not going to have an easy path to getting this working, as I understand things. This may help, though: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX109043 > In a cruel twist of irony, I discovered that the Citrix device is > essentially a Supermicro rackmount unit loaded with RHEL, with the > proprietary Citrix software running on top. > > So despite our client being happy with a Linux-based solution, they > seem to be locked into Windows by their VPN. Depending on how much this is worth you /may/ find that one of two options suits: Option one, install PuTTY or another SSH client on a Windows system within their network. Use RDP to access that system and then SSH to connect to your Linux server. Option two, pay for a commercial RDP server for Linux.
