Sorry to be a forum hog but I am tearing my hair out at the mo.

Our organisation has a range of users with a range of connectivity options i.e. DUN, VPN over DSL and LAN. The problem I have is that users connections will change i.e. user might be on LAN in the morning on laptop, Over VPN in the afternoon and want to have a quick look at night on their home PC via DUN.

I appreciate that policies can be applied to users/groups and that priorities can be set but I can't see how it is possible to tailor the experience to suit the connectivity.

Regards,

Simon
 
Hi,

Why not a single one? Have you thought of investigating Citrix Secure Gateway and allowing all your users to log into an NFuse/Web Interface website then click on the appropriate published application?

That would give a standard interface regardless of the connection method.

Cheers,
Carl.
 
Thanks for your post Carl.

I appreciate the web interface is a great standard way of presenting apps to my users but my point was that there seemed to be no way of customising the connection properties based on the users type of connection at that time i.e. the same user could connect over LAN in the morning and dial up in the afternoon. The web ica client didn't differentiate.

I now present the user the option to select the style of connection at the web interface as very kindly advised by Stefan in my post 'dial up optomisation'. This allows the user to select from various connection types - LAN/WAN/DSL/Dial up/GPRS and presents a customised .ica optimised for such a connection.

Regards

Simon

 
Hi,

No problems, with your first comment I was thinking about Stefan's post and was going to point you to it, but seen as it was to you, then my idea was pointless :-)

I'm looking at that info and going to implement WI from my version of NFuse and will use that info.

Cheers,
Carl.
