Tony,

 

Thanks for the clarification. A couple of things. First, as far as we know, it is impossible to get the "true" client name when the ICA session is launched through the browser - this is why Citrix prefers to track user sessions by original source IP addresses. I am not aware of a way to have true client name be populated/present when launching ICA sessions through either F5 or Web Interface.

 

It is possible, however, to do that when the connection originates from Receiver directly. So, if you want to point your Receiver directly to the APM virtual server, it will work and preserve the true client name. You will have to upgrade your BIG-IP to 11.4.0 HF3 or 11.4.1 in order to take advantage of this feature, as it was officially introduced. If you must stay on 11.3.0 for some other reasons, you can open a case with support and request a hotfix for BZ422326.
