It's definitely a better combination, but know that you'll still burn a ICA license if it is an Citrix XenApp server.

If you only have desktops published through the WI, you maybe able to use our Sun Ray Connector for XenDesktop. It's designed to do full screen desktops, normally for XenDesktop, but there's no reason a XA published desktop wouldn't work. All you have to do is give it the -u argument for the alternate path to XA since it defaults to DesktopWeb for XD.

The main issue, and why we don't pitch it as a XA solution is that there is no way for us to discern what is a published desktop and what is a published app. The Windows connectors doesn't do seamless windows, so hitting a published app would be wonky. Something to think about if you want to maintain the Citrix brokering and session management.

We use Solaris. This solution sounds like it could work. However Lance also 
pointed out that they switched to the Sunray Windows Connector for their Citrix 
servers for better multimedia support, we may look at doing that as well, as 
the multimedia support with the ICA client is pretty poor.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Use pnAgent with Solaris ICA client

Solaris or Linux?

What you can do is setup kiosk mode to run a browser.  Put the ICA plugin in 
the browsers plugin directory.

Have kiosk mode point the browser at your WI and you should be good to go.

What happens is when click on one of the desktops (after authing to the WI), is 
that the WI gives you a launch.ica file.  The ICA plugin intercepts this and 
will start the ICA client.

Slight difference with Solaris and Linux is that the Solaris firefox script does all the 
proper browser setup so you don't have to mess with prototypes.  The Linux FF script 
doesn't seem to be as "new user"
friendly, but nothing that prototypes can't handle.

I have a fairly simple to implement locked down browser if you are interested 
in using it.  Only caveat I'd have is being able to work with you on 
documenting the above solution for others to use.

Are you just publishing desktops?

     Can you use the pnAgent of the Solaris ICA client for sunray
     servers? Right now we just specify 3 individual Citrix ICA servers
     within the wfclient.ini file. I would like to use the pnAgent and
     specify our web interface server.
