How to Deploy Citrix Receiver or Online Web Plugin for XenApp 6.5 ...

After your install XenApp 6.5 and setup your web interface site under Web Interface 5.4, you may notice that going to the web interface will show you a plugin install page like this if you don’t have the right web plugin installed on your system:

The problem is when you click on this install button, it takes the user to:

http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downloads/index.asp

where they have to dig around and find the proper plugin. This is a horrible end user experience because they don’t know what to download and can get confused and frustrated.

So instead, you can host the web plugins for the different OSes on your web interface server itself just like previous editions of Web Interface. Here are the steps to do this. I installed on XenApp 6.5 and Web Interface 5.4 on a Server 2008 R2 for this example so these are 64 bit paths. Just edit the path below to regular “Program Files” if you are using a 32 bit OS.

1. Go to:

A few things to note on client detection and Firefox vs. Internet Explorer. IE can detect the difference between lets say version 11.2.0.31560 vs. 12.0.3.6. But Firefox cannot. Firefox can only detect if a client is installed or not, it cannot detect version numbers. So if you specify in your WebInterface.conf that only 12.0 clients can connect without the update screen and the user connects using 11.2 with Firefox, they will not get the update screen. If you run a manual client detection under Settings > Run Client Detection, it will say “The preferred client is already available on your computer.”

In IE, it detects the client version just fine. To test, make sure a legacy online web plugin is installed on your system such as 11.2.0.31560 for example. Edit your WebInterface.conf like above and set the version to “11.2.0.31560″. Hit the web interface and you will passthrough with no issue. Now edit the string again and change it to “11.2.0.31561″. Try going to the web interface and you will now get a prompt asking you to update.
