Has anyone been able to successfully use Citrix on their TouchPad? It's one of the features I was really looking forward to, being able to access my work's citrix site from my tablet.
Any information on how to set up the Citrix Receiver?
Any information on if it's possible to install the Citrix ICA Client onto the TouchPad so I can just launch from the web browser?
There seems to be zero information on the web for this so hoping anyone here could help. Thanks!

There is zero information because there simply is not a WebOS client for Citrix ... yet. They have clients for Android, iWhatever, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Windows, Linux and osX so far.
Who knows, maybe a resurgence of WebOS will interest them. Otherwise, Android for Touchpad is coming soon enough (if you're into that).

But the CITRIX Client (Receiver) is available and should work. The question is, how it will be configured. The same client I am already using on iPad and have no problems. But the version for Touchpad seems not to work.
I would like to help you but ...
Where did you get the Citrix Receiver? I'm here in France and I find it nowhere !!!
The Citrix Receiver for WebOS is in the HP App Catalog (at least here in the US). I haven't been able to get it to work, as our Citrix env has two-factor auth and isn't accessible directly from any of the Receivers. On my Galaxy Tab I was able to use the Receiver to launch the .ica file that gets downloaded (using the mobile FF browser), but the browser on the TP doesn't appear to download the .ica file properly (inside of it is a redirect instead of connection parameters), so there's no possibility to launch the Receiver manually with that file.
I went as far as to put UbuntuChroot on, and get the arm-based Receiver for Linux, but that segfaults when run. If I have a chance, i might try pulling the plugin off of my Atrix Webtop and use that within UC. I'll report back if that is successful.

Hi, im thinking of buyin me one of theese nice x10 mini and I was wondering if anyone has tried the Citrix Receiver on its 2.55 screen. Can anyone tell me how good does it works? Here in Argentina I dont have the pro version available yet, but im inlove with this phone, but the Citrix part is the one thats holds me from buying it. I use Citrix a lot at work. Can anyone giveme a review of this?
Thanks a lot
The Citrix Receiver works surprisingly well, I've used it with the Citrix AGEE's.
The back end needs to be configured to support the Citrix Receiver, you cannot use the usual webpage like a PC as the Citrix Receiver application cannot associate itself with an ICA file.
There needs to be a whole new virtual server setup that supports Citrix Receiver.
There is some mucking about getting versions to be right and the Web INterface and Back End Citrix farm all need to play nicely with your CAG or AGEE.
If your organisation has it working for iPhone, then unless they have locked it down to the iPhone's signature only you should be able to get it working quite easily.
If it isn't working for iPhone then you are most likely not going to ave any success.
The only thing to remember once it's working is that it caches the application list, so you need to refresh the list if you add a new application.
Good luck, my experience of the Citrix software hasn't been a particularly pain free one.
Sweet!
At work there is ICA Cient Citrix access, do you know if theres any licence to pay or I can ask for it free of charge?
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
I need to remote into my work but there is no RDP APP. The VPN works but what good does that do me if I can't connect into my work PC, or our servers. Anyone know if RDP is being developed for Webos?

From what I can find Splashtop should be releasing a application for WebOS, but it doesn't look like they have. Other then Splashtop, it doesn't look like their is a good way unless you want to VNC into a machine and launch RDP through that machine's session.
I'd hope somebody (devs) sees an opportunity here...

I agree. It's funny that now that I finally have a device with native Cisco AnyConnect support, it doesn't have any RDP application!
Hopefully something will be created soon.
I'm waiting for this as well.

Same here. I'd easily pay 15-20 bucks for an app like Android's Xtralogic RDP client.
I would pay as well.

Should we turn this into a bounty thread? If this had RDP, I'd never go back to my desk again. As is, the Touchpad has already made me 200% more mobile at work.
Seriously, I would pay real money for a VNC (1st choice) or RDP (2nd) client that works. There is a VNC client free on the HP appstore but it doesn't support (or work at all on) the Touchpad. I have emailed the dev but his site is all German and I don't know if he will understand.
This is the main reason I am needing android so badly... At this point no client for RDP exists, as far as I can tell. We desperately need WYSE pocketcloud, which also does VNC, and I doubt they port that app to webOS
iTap works really well for Android and iPad, I wonder if they would develop an app for Webos?
I'm tempted to write one myself lol!
I was able to do it by installing ubuntu on the device and then just installing rdesktop in ubuntu. It should use the existing VPN connection that you have and you should be able to connect. I was able to use the same setup to create a SSH RDP tunnel to my home computer.
There's a bunch of tutorials on how to install ubuntu on the Touchpad.
Gnome-RDP is very nice on Debian Squeeze64. I download Cisco Anyconnect client from Stheir site via CCO login. Very nice.
Now I'm looking for just an RDP client for my HP Touchpad so I can access my work PC. IPSEC using native VPNC (not VNC) works pretty good. It is very nice. Very fast connection viewing our protected web server.
In the meantime I'll look for a way to run a terminal (or xterm), then use telnet or openSSH from the Touchpad.
I got an answer from the guy who wrote the only VNC client for WebOS I know of (current version doesn't work on tablet). He is a very nice German fellow named Bernard Slawik. Here is his answer when I asked if he could update for Touchpad.
Hi,
I don't have a TouchPad, so I can't really develop for it
If it get's available again (I heard something yesterday), I hope it will become available in Europe as well!
Greetings from Munich,
Bernhard
Anybody in Germany/Eastern EU have a Touchpad we can hook Bernhard up with?

Splashtop app coming
I got an e-mail from WYSE today, makers of pocket cloud. No good news though:
Hi David,
With the latest HP announcements we currently have no plans to create a WebOS version.
Sorry for the bad news

Hi there,
I'm looking for opinions from anyone who has used the RealVNC client on their Prime. How well does it work? Any problems with the keyboard?
I'm looking for a solution to allow me to access my server and run an IDE remotely.
Thanks.
Used it, but not in anger. Had a few problems filling in forms on a web page - and issues with the vnc server in ubuntu being dire (had to install another package).
My wireless is a bit slow too (not just the prime, my 2nd desktop struggles to connect by wifi in a small bunglow!)
Why not use splashtop?

1. I've never heard of it.
2. You haven't told me what you think of it.
3. You haven't told me what features it has in excess of VNC.
4. You haven't told me that you've evaluated both pieces of software and concluded that Splashtop was the best for reasons a, b and c.
5. Looking at the website, it doesn't support Linux.
My current laptop is going on 6 years old which should tell you that I don't push it very hard as far as computing power goes. Mostly what I'm doing with the laptop is email and web browsing - which is why I'm thinking the Tranformer prime + dock might be a good replacement for it.
I already know how to get my company email on it since I'm a long time Android phone user so that's not an issue.
If I were able to establish a VPN connection to the corporate network, that would clear up the few reservations I have in that if I could VPN in, then I could use remote desktop to connect to my desktop PC and do anything I needed to do that way. The issue is I'm not going to get any help our of our network administrator.
Personal devices are allowed as long as you agree to and sign the remote access and mobile devices policies. What I currently have is the installer for the Cisco VPN client (not AnyConnect) and a .pcf file. To get remote access from a Windows laptop I just have to install the client and import the .pcf file and I'm in business. For anything else I may need, its legal according to the policies but I'm just not going to get any help with it.
It looks like a lot of the connection information is in the .pcf file I use on Windows - but the password seems to be encrypted. Is there some client, either built in to the TP ICS build or that I can get from the market that would allow me to just import that .pcf file like I can in the regular VPN client? Or is there some other way to extract the information I need from the .pcf file. Like I said the network admin is extremely unhelpful and whatever I do will have to be using the resources available and on my own dime.
This is an important issue for me in that if I can't get some confidence before purchasing...I may have to stick with the Windows laptop. Anyone else familiar with this situation? I'm sure I can't be the only one.
