The Citrix client allows you to use Windows tools (Medewerker button, MS Office) on Linux and OSX (even from home!).

The WUR Citrix site lives at https://citrix.fb.wur.nl/ , you can login with your WUR account.


Installation of clients

Debian Linux

Select the Debian package (.deb extension) from the Citrix site. Download it and, for example

 sudo dpkg -i icaclient_12.0.0_i386.deb 


Now the certificates may not be found, resulting in a 'Addtrust External CA Root' not allowed (61) error. Copy the Mozilla certificates in place with

 dpkg -L icaclient  # check locations
 sudo cp -vau /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts

Now it should just work (tm).

OSX

Install the Citrix receiver from the Citrix website.

Then start the browser, visit the citrix site mentioned above and ... that is all. It even works from home!

Using Citrix Applications @WUR

Medewerker button

The Medewerker button shortcut can be found in

 'W://APPS/MyData/Medewerker button HRM'

It is somewhere in the folder!

Start Citrix. In the library64 go to Desktop Library,

this will open a windows 7 desktop. It may also be found in

 M-drive -> menu -> WUR

Here you will find a link to the Medewerkers button

For PSG use

 Start -> Computer -> M-drive -> \\dfs-root\Apps\MyData

Where you will find a link to the button(!)

Here is a screenshot of how it looks :
