ICA File - clearpassword vs. encrypted password

[mlowe9]

Our users access an intranet web page with links to individual ICA Files configured to access our systems. The client must have the Citrix ICA Web Client to do this. The ICA file is set with a generic username and password. I have encrypted the password by using the New Entry Wizard, then pulling it from APPSRV.ini

I want to change this to create the ica file "on the fly" using the user's credentials from the web page (they should match). The username is easy, but I don't know what to do about password. Using the clearpassword doesn't seem very secure, as that password would be the user's network/Microsoft Domain password and anyone who could intercept that ica file would have it.

My question is: Is there a way, or are there any tools out there that could encrypt that password for me via ASP the same way the New Entry Wizard encrypts it for the APPSRV.ini file?

Nobody has any ideas or suggestions? Someone from another forum suggested using MetaFrame ticketing, but I couldn't get it to work either.

We are using OUR intranet page, not Citrix's.

Thanks though, I was starting to think I was the only one seeing my post.
