Jason Biedenharn Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I have two storefronts. One of them is for the LAN users and the other is for WAN users. How can I modify .ica files for each storefront so the ICA files have the correct ip address depending if they are accessing the LAN or WAN xenapp sites. Link to comment
0 CarlStalhood Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Each store has its own default.ica file. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? StoreFront will automatically add Citrix Gateway info to the .ica file. Link to comment
0 Jason Biedenharn Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 We are a small org. We have a total of 5 users that access Xenapp. Some users access from LAN and others access via the WAN. We have two storefronts setup. One for WAN users and the other for LAN users. I can modify the default.ica file and add in the external IP address for the WAN users but the same .ica file is downloaded when LAN users try and access an application. So I need on .ica file for LAN users with an internal IP and another one for the WAN users that has the external IP. Does that make since? Link to comment
0 CarlStalhood Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Are you doing NAT? Normally StoreFront inserts the VDA's IP address or the Citrix Gateway FQDN and there's no need to manually modify the files. If you're doing NAT, then Citrix Gateway is the preferred option. Link to comment
0 Jason Biedenharn Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 We are using NAT. We currently have Xenapp 6.5 on a single server with two sites. A WAN site and and LAN site. When the .ica file is downloaded from the WAN site it has the external IP address. When the .ica file is downloaded from the LAN site it has the internal IP address. I am working on a new server with Xenapp 7 2023. We do not have a license for the Gateway and because we are such a small org I was trying to configure the new server the same way. I can configure the default.ica file but it affects both sites. Our current Xenapp server is performing this function. I just cant figure out how. Link to comment
0 CarlStalhood Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Another option is to enable DNS instead of IP and then configure the clients to resolve the VDA DNS records with the NAT'd IP addresses instead of their real IP addresses. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135250/how-to-enable-dns-address-resolution-in-xendesktop Link to comment
