Citrix Gateway plug-in for Windows
When users log on to Citrix Gateway, they download and install the Citrix Gateway plug-in on the user device.
To install the plug-in, users must be a local administrator or a member of the Administrators group. This restriction applies for first-time installation only. Plug-in upgrades do not require administrator level access.
To enable users to connect to and use Citrix Gateway, you need to provide them with the following information:
- Citrix Gateway web address, such ashttps://NetScalerGatewayFQDN/
- Any system requirements for running the Citrix Gateway plug-in if you configured endpoint resources and policies
Depending on the configuration of the user device, you might also need to provide the following information:
- If users run a firewall on their computer, they might must change the firewall settings so that the firewall does not block traffic to or from the IP addresses corresponding to the resources for which you granted access. The Citrix Gateway plug-in automatically handles Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP and Windows Firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1.
- Users who want to send traffic to FTP over a Citrix Gateway connection must set their FTP application to perform passive transfers. A passive transfer means that the remote computer establishes the data connection to your FTP server, rather than the establishment of the data connection by the FTP server to the remote computer.
- Users who want to run X client applications across the connection must run an X server, such as
XManager
, on their computers. - Users who install Receiver for Windows or Receiver for Mac can start the Citrix Gateway plug-in from Receiver or by using a web browser. Provide instructions to users about how to log on with the Citrix Gateway plug-in through Receiver or a web browser.
Because users work on files and applications as if they are local to the organization’s network, you do not need to retrain users or configure applications.
To establish a secure connection for the first time, log on to Citrix Gateway by using the web logon page. The typical format of a web address ishttps://companyname.com.当用户登录时,他们可以下载install the Citrix Gateway plug-in on their computer.
