I want to take a moment… Ok, that moment’s over. Bringing to you from the world of powershell, powercli, and power scripting….. Stuart Yerdon, and the webmaster of https://notesofascripter.com. He has been featured as a vExpert, a connoisseur of all things M:TG (If you have to ask….), and a colleague and friend of mine. Check out his site and all things powershell.

So you want to connect to Citrix on Fedora 28 to a Citrix site that uses Entrust certificates? Well, the receiver has a few issues with that idea. So to take care of that, there are some workarounds you need to do. I have a link on the bottom of the screen for what I had to do to get it working. You will need to download the tarball files. I used the 13.8 client. You can do it with the newer 13.9 as well, I had just backtracked to get it working. So below is what I had to do.
- Download the tarball to install https://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux/receiver-for-linux-latest.html. You will need to sign up for a Citrix account.
- Copy the file to /opt.
- Switch to the privileged user install.
- Follow the install through.
- When you are done, go to https://www.entrust.com and download the Entrust root 2048, Entrust root G2, and in my case, the Entrust L1K certificate. You may have a different intermediate certificate depending on what you are using. You will need to save these to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts. I didn’t need the PEM, I only had to download the .cer files.
- You should be able to connect and launch now!
From I was finding, this is also what you will need to do if you are using newer versions of Ubuntu such as 18.04.

Welcome all to the world of an older application that was never meant to be multi-user. The application was designed for a desktop OS and for a single user. One way you can get around application work/temp folders is an old DOS command called subst. You can use it to map a folder location as a drive. An example is subst x: c:\users\%username%. You will need to create a folder in the user folder location. Then you can potentially point the INI file for the application to the x: location and now you have a separated workspace for each user. This has helped with more than one application in the past. Sometimes with terminal services and Citrix you have to get a little creative. With the big push of Windows 10, many older applications are being pushed off the desktop and into a virtualized environment as these antiquated applications are usually mission critical and haven’t been re-architected. Hope this brings some help to you!
