NFuse Server Configuration Requirements
Browser-Based Access
Publication of applications using a web page may be set up using
the Citrix NFuse Web site wizard. There are two limitations in
using this facility with the local browser installed on a Compaq
thin client terminal.
1. The Citrix wizard will generate a page named default.htm
that will cause a failure in the version of Internet Explorer
included with software
version 3.5. The generated page attempts to display a pop-up
browser window. The Internet Explorer version on the
terminal does not support this capability and the browser
simply displays a blank page with a small red X in the upper
left corner. There are several ways to avoid this problem:
■
Instruct users to reference the explicit URL
http://<servername>/login.htm
■
Remove the page named default.htm and rename the page
named login.htm to default.htm
■
Using the Internet Information Service (IIS) management
facility, insert the page named login.htm into the list of
default pages and then promote it to the first position in the
list.
The individual site requirements will dictate which is the best
choice.
2. An additional configuration requirement results from the fact
that the Internet Explorer version on the terminal does not
support Microsoft’s ActiveX. If the server is configured to
launch applications embedded within the browser window,
the terminal’s attempt to access these applications will fail.
The Web site must be configured to launch applications in a
separate window. This will result in running the ICA client
code resident on the terminal to create the window for
accessing the published applications.
