1.3 Overview of Citrix Application Deployment

1.3.1 Application Modes

You can deploy the Citrix application in the following modes:

Deployment

Description

Deploying the Full Citrix Desktop

In this mode of deployment, only the Citrix client runs on the desktop and all other applications run on the Citrix server.

Deploying Published Applications

In this mode of deployment, a combination of applications runs on the desktop, and some are published by using the Citrix server.

Deploying Citrix Desktop and Published Applications

Use this mode of deployment to run a full Citrix desktop, or a combination of Citrix published applications and applications on the workstation.

1.3.2 Deploying in Corporate Directory Environments

In a corporate directory environments, the SecureLogin data is stored on the directory. This is done by extending the directory schema to include SecureLogin attributes. For information about extending the directory schema for your directory, refer to the SecureLogin CE 24.3 (v9.2) Installation Guide.

NOTE:If you have installed SecureLogin 8.5.x, or a later version, the required SecureLogin attributes are already installed.

1.3.3 Deploying the Full Citrix Desktop

Deploying the full Citrix Desktop requires SecureLogin schema extensions on the network directory server and client installation on the Citrix server.

The data of users operating the SecureLogin and using the Citrix server remotely is stored on the Citrix server and the network directory.

1.3.4 Deploying Published Applications

Deploying published applications requires SecureLogin schema extensions on the network directory server with the client installation on the Citrix server and the user workstation.

SecureLogin executes from the workstation to log in to applications published on the Citrix server. SecureLogin user data must be stored on the user’s workstation for GINA to GINA pass-through unless SecureLogin is needed for single sign-on applications that are running on that workstation.

NOTE:The SecureLogin Application Definition Wizard cannot detect Citrix published applications. You must run the application on your workstation to create an application definition using the wizard.

1.3.5 Deploying Citrix Desktop and Published Applications

Citrix Desktop and published applications require:

  • SecureLogin schema extension on the network directory server.

  • A Citrix server and a user workstation.

SecureLogin executes from the workstation or the Citrix server, depending on the mode selected by the user. The SecureLogin user data is stored on the directory server, the Citrix server, and the user workstation.
