So, I'm having a blast with my new nook. So far it's done just about everything I've asked of it. But not this. My office has citrix remote access that is working fine for the ipad, and is in testing for a few approved android devices. Since I work with the guys who manage it, I ran a test or two today to see how the NC performs.
The good? Got connected. The bad? I get an SSL/TLS JSSE error when I try to launch apps. So, what's the deal? Do I need to get android 2.2 or is my fix something else? If it's just 2.2, then I'll wait for the rumored update probably.
Would a nookie froyo boot sd work well enough to test this out? If so I've got a spare card with honeycomb that might be getting wiped.
*rooted nook color 1.1 with the 'monster pack' bootable sd image*
also have the same problem! Let me know if you find a solution.
Yes you need at least 2.2. I'm running CM7 on my nook and the Citrix receiver works great. I also use it on my HTC EVO on 2.2 and it works there as well.
Yes the bookie froyo SD bootable should work fine.
huh, got busy and never got a chance to check back. from what I've read, if you install the certificate you can get access. however, there's no option on my nook to install from SD card.
still looking into this when i have time, just haven't really had time.
That's weird. I am using the Citrix receiver on my stock rooted NC and haven't seen any issues (yet). Granted, I only used the VNC app to remote into my work computer but it worked flawlessly.
Are you using the Citrix Receiver or the Citrix Labs Receiver. I know I have just the Receiver. Not sure what the difference is between the two (haven't really looked that closely) but it might be somthing to check.
Try to save the link to the app usually in the form of *.ica file type. Then launch that file through astro. I used this workaround on my Streak.
Using CM7 n30, Citrix wouldn't accepting SSL certificate initially but problem went away after n12 or so, working fine since.
Ok, did a little reading, and found the system reqs for citrix reciever.
Device
Citrix Receiver supports Android mobile devices with operating system 2.0 or later.
About Secure Connections and SSL Certificates
When securing remote connections using SSL, the mobile device verifies the authenticity of the remote gateway's SSL certificate against a local store of trusted root certificate authorities. The device automatically recognizes commercially issued certificates (such as VeriSign and Thawte) provided the root certificate for the certificate authority exists in the local keystore.
Private (Self-signed) Certificates
If a private certificate is installed on the remote gateway, the root certificate for the organization's certificate authority must be installed on the mobile device in order to successfully access Citrix resources using the Citrix Receiver.
Note: If the remote gateway's certificate cannot be verified upon connection (because the root certificate is not included in the local keystore), an untrusted certificate warning appears. If a user chooses to continue through the warning, a list of applications is displayed; however, application fails to launch.
Importing Root Certificates on Android Devices
Android devices currently do not support automatic import of root certificates. More importantly, gaining root access to a device or changing the keystore can result in an inoperable device.

Pretty sure we're using self signed certificates at my workplace, and I can get it, I just am not sure how to install/import it. Our remote access guy mentioned that on his android device he can go to security and then import a cert from the SD card, but if that option is on the Nook, I missed it under Nook Color Tools.
The other thing is that the cert needs to be exported to .p12, which should be trivial if we can actually find/activate the import from SD option.
rico posted on a thread on androidtablets.net
The setting in stock Android 2.1, can allow for apps secure certificates. In the NC, most SSL sites work automatically, but for those which require a more manual approach, I think the stock Android setting is need. So far I haven't found how to turn this setting on.

Nook Certs Import
I'm using CM7, running Gingerbread. Under Settings>Location & Security there is an option to Install from SD card.
I just don't know where to get a certificate that works.

Try running one of the SD card builds of CM7.
as suggested, I got a working SD bootable CM7 build running, and was able to connect with no issues, so it's purely a problem with older (2.1?) builds of android. The remote access guy here says that he believes that was resolved in 2.2 or even a late build of 2.1.
to clarify, i did NOT have to import a root or mid level cert from the SD card. once I was on (CM7) 2.3, citrix reciever just worked but on (rooted) 2.1 it did not.
Not sure what the fix is, if any, for anyone running a rooted nook instead of a custom rom. if I find a fix I'll update though.
I too find i can't get citrix working on a stick 1.1 rooted nook. It'll make the initial connection but wont bring up the desktop window. Is there an explanation and a workaround?

For me it works perfectly on my Epic 4g (Froyo), but not on my Xoom (HC3.1), where it would obviously be much more useful. Get my list of published apps but when I launch just sits at waiting. Same exact settings, very fustrating.
Citrix Reciever "The Server encountered an error"
All, I'm have a rooted NC that's at 1.2 running 2.2 (sorry, I'm not 100% on the right verbiage to use)
I downloaded and installed Citrix Receiver from the market. I enter all of my settings and it shows me my published apps. However, when I try to click on anyone of them I gett the following.
Server error "The server encountered an error."
Any idea on the fix?

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in Development. It was a 50/50 chance so I flipped a coin and here I am.
As I was browsing through the settings on my Eris with my new KaosFroyo v34 I noticed VPN connections. I took a look, and much to my surprise OpenVPN was listed. That's awesome because my company uses OpenVPN.
There are two options that I am having a problem with, "Set CA Certificate" and "Set user certificate". Unfortunately nothing but "cancel" shows up when I select either of these two options. I have created the user key and cert, and the ca cert on my server and copied them to a directory on the phone. I am assuming that I need to install my certificates before I am able to use them, but I have no clue how to do that. I Googled for documentation and found nothing. Can anyone help?
Hey there XDA.
i'm in the IT department for a big-time company, and we (obviously) have specific security parameters on our network.
Recently, with all of the talk about android tablets because of CES and other factors (i personally own a Viewsonic G-Tablet running VEGAn 5.1b) the team and i have come to wonder if we would be able to put an android tablet onto the domain the same way we would a regular old Windows PC/Laptop or a Blackberry phone onto the exchange server.
We use Citrix clients/servers as well as pc/laptops, and so far, as i've been scouring the market, i've been able to find a Citrix app, and a Wyse terminal app, which could be used to open VPN sessions on the server, as well as another app which allows an android device to be connected completely with Microsoft Exchange Server. ( touchdown http://www.nitrodesk.com/TouchDown.aspx )
So, i figured, where else would i go but here, to the most well versed android development website on the interwebs, to ask if you guys might know of anything at all, or if something could be done.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm kind of unclear about what you're looking for, from your post, I guess because there could be any number of interpretations, e.g.:
- Are you asking if an Android device could be joined to your Windows domain?
- Are you asking if you can "see" shares on your Windows machines from Android?
- Are you asking if you can RDP to a Windows machine from Android?
- Etc.?
Probably (I think) #1 above is "no", at least as far as I can see now (plus I don't know if it'd make sense).
The answer to the 2nd and 3rd are "yes".
For #2, either you can use something like ES File Explorer, or you can use CIFS Manager on an Android machine that has CIFS support.
For #3, Pocketcloud can do that (the one from Wyse), and there are a few more.

Thanks for the reply, and yes i was looking to concentrate more around number 1. If number 1 were to be solved, number 2 would end up working out perfectly, with no security risks (becuase the shared files are only available to domain devices or thin clients using the VPN/RDP services we have setup). I guess looking at it from another angle, we would probably be able to (theoretically) limit a user's access capabilities on the tablet so that a general user could still be able to access the file shares using VPN without creating a security risk...
as you can see i currently have a whole lot running around in my head, and i'm not even sure if i'm mkaing it sound like english... T_T
I use my Zpad for work, the business apps I use:
Touchdown (for exchange, would like spell checker though)
File Expert (access shares)
Xtralogic Remote Desktop (works VERY well, better than PocketCloud and worth the $25)

It sounds like you're looking for something like PAM authentication capability from the Gtab. I know that there are products that do that for *nix, but I'm not aware of anything specifically for Android. Then again I think that there are public domain implementations, so it might be possible. Sorry that I can't be more help ...

Did you ever figure out anything more on this? We are looking at the same thing right now, and it'd be great if you found any more info out
Doesn't look like the app is ported to any android device except maybe samsungs.
Anyway to get this on the Atrix? Would be huge paired with my dock
I had it running on stock Froyo with a kernel that had tap/tun support. i downloaded it from the market...? I think it barked about samsung was the only "supported" device, but it worked for me on my atrix. also, it doesnt support any other cisco vpn other than "Any Connect" access, so if you are like me and wanted a full blown client youre SOL
Also, I didnt like the actual anyconnect client so I swapped it for "vpn widget" (which is pretty boss in my opinion). it allows for easy configuring and places an On/Off widget on your phone's home screen. works like a champ on CM7 and Gingrbread.
Sure it is. Works great on my Atrix. You need to be rooted and have a file placed in a system directory (turn.ko if I remember correctly).
It is a full VPN client securing the entire device. Tragic is rooted according to the administrators settings.
Check it out here:
market.android.com/details?id=com.cisco.anyconnect.vpn.android.rooted[/url]
Ok so first order of business would be to root the device...
So I found that tun.ko file, in which directory would it need to be placed?

Thanks, I'll give that a shot shortly.
I've tried logging into the android market using the non-rooted technique and complains I have no android phone after logging in under my google account, enter a phone # etc. After the root, will this be resolved, or did you have an android phone / tablet already on the account?

Android is basically Linux
Rooting your device means giving yourself root, or superuser (admin) access, giving you access to system files and the ability to change things that normally are marked read only.
This allows for removing "pre-installed" applications (called by some people "bloat-ware", because they bloat the system.), installing other applications (for example, although members of this forum figured out how to "side-load", or install without a market, some of the Google apps, the "Google Market" requires an entire framework which needs root access), and making changes to the system in ways that generally void your warranty (but can sometimes speed things up and make the device do things that no one expected it to do).
"Rooting" is also the first step (but only *one* of many) toward installing custom versions of the Android operating system (or "ROMs").
It's kind of a big deal, and the ability to root makes the device just *that much* more appealing to people who like to tinker.
how to check if NT is rooted
Hi, I followed the video all up till the part before it prompts the installation of Gapps. I don't know why mine did not provide that prompt. It just stopped working.
Now I have no clue if my root was successful. Please help?

you might have accidentally hit enter or something. To check for root, go to search and instead of putting go launcher in, put superuser and it should tell you if the superuser app is installed or not. If installed you are rooted and you can use the gapps instructions to install that alone. but I would just try running nook zergy again. Make sure your cable is not loose.
Just added another video to the collection, I demonstrate home catcher apk and games that work/dont work on the nook tablet

So I know they have preloaded Root SD Cards for the Nook Color so that you don't "break" your Nook and void your warranty and so you can easily revert back by just removing the card. Do you know if they exist for the Tablet yet? I've seen reports where using the ones for the Color on the Tablet don't work.

Adam has found a way to boot stock B&N on SD card, but some people still report issues from it. No one has found a way to boot non-signed roms from SD.
Using the CM7 alpha that was briefly available here.
I'm trying to access my employer's citrix server. I've installed the receiver and configured everything properly. I can login, but before it displays my apps, I get an error that says:
Too many server redirects.
I get the same error when accessing the web interface using the default Browser or Dolphin. I installed UCBrowser, and it properly displays the apps. However, when I click them, it simply downloads the ica file, rather than opening it. If I use a file manager and click on the ica file, nothing happens. If I long press it and select Citrix Receiver, nothing happens.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?
As the alpha was pulled for various reasons as well as not being ready, I would recommend waiting for a stable release as that problem could be resolved with a future release.
I understand where you are coming from... but the alpha was pulled for reasons not related to this issue. I also had the same problems using Snowball. I'm hoping there is some configuration that will ignore the multiple server redirects...
I just tried it my Evo 4G, running stable CM 7.1, and have the same issue... works fine on my windows and Linux boxes, and on my co-workers iPhone.
Sounds like an overall Android issue. Maybe try the Android forum?

I did read that thread, and tried opera (and a few other browsers) with no success... I'm not sure what APN is though... I'll see if anyone in the general Android forum has seen this.
You might also want to email one of the Citrix Reciver developers, to see if you can download an earlier version of Citrix for testing. They used to have 2.1 and 2.2 on the website, but I don't see that page anymore.
