Mac – How to get Citrix apps to open with Citrix client instead of VMware Fusion on Mac OS X 10.6

I found a solution to my issue, turns out I had not been searching for the correct magic phrase. What I was looking for is under the pass-through client.

http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX238200

Client drive mapping on the pass-through client was restricted to the drives on the client device. The client could not map local or network drives configured on the MetaFrame server in a pass-through session. Local or network drives configured on the MetaFrame server can now be mapped by the pass-through client.

For version 10.xx

1. Run Regedit.

2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\ICA Client\Engine\Configuration\Advanced\Modules\ClientDrive

Create the Reg Value: NativeDriveMapping

Reg Type: REG_SZ

Add the Value: True

When this flag is set, the client drives on the client device are not mapped and are not available. The drives configured on the MetaFrame server are mapped and are available to the pass-through client.

Do you know which system is running your web interface? That probably needs to be reconfigured along with the secure gateway. In theory, you should be able to connect directly to the server that's hosting the web interface without issue. Make sure your internal DNS points to the web interface and not the gateway, unless you're ultra paranoide about ICA security.

Secondly, check out this article on setting up a secure gateway from scratch. It will show you the various things to check. http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/terminal-services/security/install-configure-citrix-web-interface-secure-gateway-part2.html

Finally, it would help to have a diagram of which servers have which roles.
