How to change an NFuse session name

[Pritch5000]

Can you help?

We need to find a way to change the sessionname variable used by NFuse. We have no problems with any other client connection method. As standard it uses a format or either:

domainname (1st 5 chars)-username (1st 8 chars) - Algorithm(5chars)

or

domainname-username

We need this to provide a solution to a variety of customers.

Background:

We are working on a project where we have a huge variety of connections to an SQL backend using a propreitory software application. The client types we have to consider are:

Fat clients
terminal services 2k clients using PCs and WBTs
terminal services 2k3 clients using PCs and WBTs
Citrix 1.8 clients using PCs and WBTs
Citrix XP client using the full PN
Citrix XP client using the PN Agent and NFuse
Citrix XP client using the web client and NFuse using PCs and WBTs
Citrix XP client using ICA connections using PCs and WBTs

i.e. basically almost every conceivable IBM-compat client using client/server, TS, CTX and NFuse infrastructures.

The reason for needing to change this is because the proprietory software has workstation specific information (what peripherals it has and where it is, etc) that needs to be stored in the database. Therefore, regardless of the user who uses a workstation, it must always pick up the same session name.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

If you are on the latest version, search Citrix and/or the Web Interface documenation, it is mentioned there, you need to amend either the template.ica or on of the others! Sorry, can't remember but I know it can be done!

Cheers,
Carl.

Hi Ogi, thanks for replying.

We found the template.ica file a while ago and tested it (as one small part of our test plan) and found that it didnt offer the answers. I will return to it and check it out again (and possibly in more detail) and post the findings here.

If anyone has any other ideas I would very much like to hear them.

thanks.

Hi,

In Template.Ica there is:-

[WFClient]
Version=2
ClientName=[NFuse_ClientName]

I don't know what to change it to, but, this is the file that is used to create Domain-Username

Maybe someone else can recommend what to put in there!

Cheers,
Carl.
