When the user clicks this favorite, it looks exactly like the first MetaFrame
example (see Figure 4). And when they authenticate, the end result is just
like MetaFrame (see Figure 5).
There is really nothing different to the end user, but the MetaFrame Browser
setting does add support for ICA load balancing a Citrix farm; meaning the
ability to use the Citrix load balancer.
Citrix MetaFrame Portal
The next option is to configure the Favorite as a Citrix MetaFrame Portal.
Using this option, Citrix looks a little more like a web application rather
than a terminal server. MetaFrame Portal is a web-based version of Citrix,
similar to nFuse web portal. The user gets a web page with a list of
published applications available, and they simply click the desired
application.
In this case, the FirePass controller contacts the Citrix master browser using
the supplied user's credentials, and obtains a list of published applications
configured for that specified user. In this instance, FirePass can either act as
the Web interface, or can work together with the Web interface.
Like the Citrix Browser option, this procedure is very similar to adding a
favorite for Citrix MetaFrame; only one step is different.
To configure a Terminal Server favorite with Citrix Portal
1. Follow the steps in the preceding procedure (To connect to the
Citrix device using Terminal Server) with the following exception:
2. In Step 7, from the Port list, select Citrix MetaFrame Portal. Port
80 appears in the Port box. You can also make the same adjustments
to the Master Group Settings and Global settings.
In this case, while the procedure is the same, the experience for the end user
is quite different. Once they click the Favorite, they are either taken directly
to the list of applications, or if the Auto Logon was not configured at the
Master Group level, to an authentication screen, followed by the application
list.
