Opening a connection
Once you have created a connection file with the appropriate network connection properties set up, you can connect to the Citrix server as follows:
To open a connection
* Double-click the name of the definition connection you want to open in the Citrix ICA Client window.
Alternatively, you can select the name of the connection definition and choose Connect from the Entry menu, or click the Connect button:
This connects to the server specified in the connection file with the user name and password details you have entered in the connection definition.
If you have not specified a user name or password in the connection file you are prompted to enter them if they are required:
After a short delay the Windows desktop is displayed in a window on your UNIX workstation:
Alternatively the connection file can be set up to run a Windows application directly. In this case you are not able to exit to the Windows desktop, and choosing Exit from the application's File menu closes the session.
To log off from Windows
* Choose Log off... from the Windows Program Manager File menu or, if your connection is set up to run an application, choose Exit from the application's File menu.
Alternatively, choose Close from the Window menu. This leaves the Citrix ICA Client application running so that you can open another session if you want to. To disconnect from Windows
* Choose Disconnect... (if available) from the Windows Program Manager File menu.
This leaves your session open on the Citrix server, and you can resume work where you left off next time you log on to the server with the same user name andpassword.
When you reconnect, the server forces the ICA Client window to be the same size and number of colors as in the original session.
To quit from the ICA Client application
* Choose Exit from the Entry menu.
This leaves any connections to Citrix servers open.
