I have implemented both Option 1 and 3 in our deployment (CAM session defaults to our internal Citrix server webpage when no smart card is detected). Our internal Citrix webpage gives you the option of choosing a local client or the java one. The biggest difference is that the Java client takes FOREVER to load, but once it does, there is very little difference in the speed of the published application. All of our published apps (MS Office apps, IE, RDP, etc.) work well with the Solaris ICA client, so there's little need of the Java one.
Hope this helps, David Cuny Unix/Linux Sysadmin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Stanley Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 9:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SunRay-Users] ICA client choices I need to set up a Sun Ray proof of concept that includes some users connecting to a Citrix server. As I see it, I have 3 choices: 1. Run SRS on Solaris SPARC and install the Citrix client for that platform. It is two revisions behind Windows and Linux, but I assume that is not a big deal. 2. Run SRS on Linux and use the Citrix client for Linux. I¹m a lot more comfortable with Solaris, but this could be done. 3. There is a Citrix Java client. It cannot be installed on the SRS, it has to be loaded dynamically from a web server, presumably one running on the Citrix server. It would probably put high resource demands on the SRS and may be a bit complicated to set up, but it is an option. Option 1 is a problem with proof of concept because the whole thing is running in VMs on an x86 box (SF X4600). In production we could go with T1000 or T2000 Sun Ray servers. Does anyone have any experience with option 3, the Java client? I don¹t know much about Citrix administration, so I¹m not sure exactly how this would work. As I mentioned, I¹m also worried about starting up a Java VM for each Sun Ray session. Thank you for any suggestions. -Tom _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://node1.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://node1.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
