Citrix Receiver traffic for XenApp applications Via F5 APM

Hi,

 

Does anyone know, if it is possible to redirect the client side traffic for XenApp application access to the client side proxy.

 

The clients are sitting in another company, the company has its own proxy server (with explicit proxy), they want the complete traffic from the client to go through the proxy.

 

Initial session using GUI (to connect to F5 APM) goes through the proxy but when the Citrix Receiver is triggered for XenApp applications the traffic takes the default gateway and tries to go out and gets blocked at the perimeter firewall.

 

Is there any way we can make the traffic go to the Proxy, without making any changes at the client side.

 

Kind Regards, WUM

  • Are you using APM to replace Citrix StoreFront/Web Interface or not? In order for Citrix Receiver to use systemwide proxy, the ICA file sent must contain ProxyType=Auto line. If using F5 APM to replace StoreFront/Web Interface, you can add that line under Custom Parameters section of your Citrix Resource definition. If you are using StoreFront or Web Interface, then you must make appropriate changes there so that that ICA parameter is sent.

     

  • We have replaced Citrix Access Gateway with APM, integrated APM with XenApp and publishing XenApp services on APM.

     

    Citrix Client is configured to use the browser setting for proxy, but still the traffic takes the default route.

     

  • If you are using APM as the presentation layer, you need to add the following lines to the Custom Parameters section of your Citrix APM Resource definition - then it should solve this issue.

     

    ProxyType=Auto ProxyUseFQDN=on

      for some reason there is a space between those commands, they should each be on a separate line.
