Accessing Citrix-based web portals

I have the same problem.
There is an app called Citrix Receiver, which works with Citrix "Xenapp"; however, I believe my company uses a different Citrix software program (Citrix Presentation Server) which is older and does not support Receiver. I think this is our problem.

I have the same problem. I can absolutely replace my laptop with the iPad except for this one thing.

Downloads & plugins are not supported by the the iPhone or iPad Safari browser. You have to use the Citrix receiver app to connect to your work environment.

Here is a link to the Citrix Receiver for iPhone:

same for me. No Java No Citrix connect.
Recever does not connect

its likely you cant connect because your ctx env is not on a CAG (citrix secure gateway). you are likely using secure gateway, which is a software gateway.
if so, you are SOL> citrix app receiver doesnt work with SG , only CAG>

sorry, i meant its not CAG in the first sentence.
CAG = good
SG = wont connect

any news regarding this?

To all who have posted a question on this particular matter. Citrix Receiver for the Ipad works only on version Xenapp 4.5, 5 or 6. If your companies do not have this version of the product then they must upgrade.

Upgrading is not too dificult until version 6, companies usually pay for a service called Subscription Advantage which entitles them to have the latest versions for the Xenapp Product. However I must state that upgrading may have direct ties to your companies appilcations.

I am the Sales Director at a company who sells and installs Citrix virtualization soutions for Central America and have the same problem that you do. However we're updtating our system due to the release of XenDesktop where I will be able to receive a whole Windows XP, Vista or 7 desktop on my iPad.

Unfortunatelly I haven't received my iPad yet so when I do I will be glad to post my experience with it.

There is also a very important component of the Xenapp equation on sending apps or desktops to the iPad and this is that your companies should use the latest version of the Web Access Interface component. You can know if you have the one that works with the iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch if your web interface is a black one with blue stripes across.

Hope this info was usefull. This means obviously that it is not an Apple problem, it's a version problem since many of you may be using Windows 2000 Server instead of Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008 (latest version).

Regards.

I am also trying to log into our work web interface, but all I get is a message 'Your browser must have Java enabled to use the Client for Java'. Which is a bummer, because I got the iPad primarily to be able to work on the go ... very disappointing ...

hi all,

Some of the comments posted are about right. You need to have the Citrix receiver for iPad downloaded to your iPad. Your administrator needs to have set up something called a merchanidsing server to communicate with and update the receiver and to allow you access to your production farm (it's not automatically configured and needs a little set up). Once you've done this a few settings on your Workspace to configure the secure access and you're away with all your windows apps of Windows desktop. Your organisation will beed to investigate the brief set up required - just ping a mail to Citrix and they'll outline how the existing farm can be accessed. Using web interface etc like you may on your home PC (Java Client comment) won't work but with the above you can use it as you would any other PC - it's very cool.

this should explain to the admin - http://community.citrix.com/display/xa/CitrixReceiver+foriPad
