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.

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.

soo..... looks like unless i go from rooted to rom'ed, i'm scr*wed.
maybe after the rumored/legendary/elusive/mythical update that is coming any day now from B&N?
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?
Ok, I have applied the market fix. Even went as far as editing the build line. While my market has expanded, I still can't bring up torque by Ian Hawkins. If I use the web service it shows but says it is not compatible with my device /gtablet/. I even copied the APk from my phone over to my tablet, while it does load it crashes within seconds. Can anyone help me?
I have searched the forum to no avail.
What rom are You using?
rom
I'm using the factory version
Hmm.. haven't ever seen it run on that. I have only seen it running on cm7 and vegan 5.1.
Have you looked into editing your build.prop file to expand market?
I edited the build prop with the mahimahi edit from the forum.
This should be the free apk
http://megaupload.com/?d=B07WAF8Y
I definitely wanted to purchase the app to show support for the developer. But all things considered, I will check out that link. I just wish the andriod market would work properly on my device. The market just recognizes my gtablet as "phone" and constantly says the apps I look at aren't compatible. Seems like my money isn't good enough for Google.
Using the Nook Tablet with 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.
I have the same problem on my Evo4G. However, no problems from Windows, Linux, or iPhone.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?

Hullo.
Looking for a little advice from folks about sideloading apks to multiple android devices at once (like, 8 or 9 of em). Searched around the forums a bit and couldn't find anything directly relating to this issue, so I figured I'd ask. I dunno if this belongs more in App development, but its an Android specific issue so...
At present I'm using Test Flight App (I'd post the URL but I'm too much of a noob here) to manage builds and releases. Its really great for getting beta builds out to the studio team, and to various beta testers and potential partners.
However there are a few issues with it, which are particularly problematic for quick iterations etc.
1) Actually downloading the apks is a manual process per device. So if you've a small QA team (or are working solo) it takes alot of time to get the newest build onto everything.
2) Each build has to be uploaded via the Test Flight website, then distributed to users on a build by build basis. This is a difficult to automate process, so makes having any kind of continuous integration system for nightlies etc. difficult at best.
I've been looking into possibly doing something like installing a Dropbox on each device and automating CI builds to a dedicated folder, which is shared via Dropbox to everything, but its a bit of work up front to get it working and I may still have to actually manually install the things each time.
Any of you guys had any experience attempting to do something like this?
Figured I might as well come back and answer my own question incase anyone else was wondering.
Ended up using a USB hub to connect multiple devices then running a script that used ADB to get all attached devices, then passed that list one by one into the adb install function.
Still not ideal, as it requires a wired connection for each phone, but works for now.

How about Wireless ADB?
Check ADB Wireless on Play Store. (Unfortunately all phones must be rooted, because it requires ADB port to be set to 5555)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wave18.adbwireless
I think you are using batch file to get ADB script for all devices.
Press Thanks if helped.
Hi,
I've just taken a 101-G8 out of its box after about 10 years. I was pleased to find it was still in working conditions, was able to connect it to the wifi, use the installed apps, but trouble started when I tried to browse (using the pre-installed Dolphin browser). Almost all sites give me the 'Web page not available' message. After some trials I found that accessing http version instead of https would work, if the site didn't force a redirect. So I suspect a certificate issue, but I have no clue how to update them. Then I found out that the AppsLib and Market apps are no longer supported, so I can't update or install new apps.
After reading the forums, I know I could try to upgrade Android to something like 4.0 (via Cyanogen), but I'm not even sure this would fix my browsing issues, which is all I need right now (I'd like to use it for my kids to access the doodlelearning.com website). Any advice for me?
Thanks!
