Hi,

I have a network containing multiple Citrix servers in one farm. For the best security, I have only one Citrix server that will connect to the internet. To prevent people from having to start 2 sessions from their local computers, I'd like to set up a Seamless Window'ed published Internet Explorer inside the already existing Citrix connection.
Thus: You connect to the farm and log in, from the remote desktop you have there, you connect to the second server (with Internet Explorer).

Is this possible and if yes, is it as simple as installing an Ica Client on the server?

Thanks in advance.
 
I did the same thing a little different... I have 1 citrix server in the DMZ... this citrix server has "program neighboorhood" as a published application with an .ica file appened to the end of the string... when a user connects to the server in the DMZ it kicks off the published .ica file which in turn connects you to a Citrix server internally... This way you can limit port access from the server in the DMZ to the server farm internally. This was designed to meet our security needs and has worked well.


 
I see, this looks interesting, it's one of the things that came up when I thought about the subject. Though, I would do it the other way around: first connect to the farm internally and from there connect to the (internet access)server in de DZM, to limit traffic from LAN to DMZ.
What are your thoughts about that?

Thanks for the reply.
