Citrix Metaframe SOLVED

[bicky]

Anyone any experience using Citrix with Mint
I need access to my works server which uses Citrix, I can download and access this through Windows - no problem, however my Netbook uses Mint . I have installed ICA Client,Rdesktop and Ts Client, am using mozilla Firefox. When I try to log into my company server I get the error message " SSL Error, You have chosen not to trust Thawte primary root Ca, the issuers of the servers security certificate. SSL: error 61.I have downloaded a copy of the Certificate, but still nothing works.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue.

Hi thanks for reply. However I just cannot get any positive response to the points below :- I have located the Thwaite Cert in Mozilla, and as far as I know have authorised all points of access.But the response to each of the " Sudo" messages is " /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/" file not found.I cannot verify that the ICA client plugin is linked.I am obviously doing something stupid, but don't know what !

1. Ensure the ICAClient plugin is linked in, e.g.,

$ sudo ls -al /opt/firefox/plugins/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Aug 25 20:11 npica.so -> /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so
2. Wrap the plugin, e.g.,

$ sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so
3. Make Firefox's certificates accessible to Citrix, e.g.,

sudo cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
4. Attempt to access your Citrix site. If Firefox prompts you to open a *.ica file, choose to open it with /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica.sh, and tell Firefox to remember that choice.

Sorry that didn't work, it seems the 61 error is quite common. I also found this post that addresses your specific error, hope this one works.

Problem Solved. First I reinstalled Citrix after installing " Open Motif" all from Citrix Site - NOT synaptic.
Second was to follow instructions as per link:

I obtained appropriate Ca certs from Thwaite Site.

I see that some people have been able to make Citrix work with Linux, which is encouraging. I desperately need to be able to connect to my work system through Citrix, but so far I have not been able to make it work. I'm getting the famous SSL error 61. "You have not chosen to trust "Network Solutions Certificate Authority", the issuer of the server's security certificate."
I'm running LinuxMint 12 32 bit. I installed Open Motif from the Sofware Manager (this could be my problem, but I could not find where I could download this from the Citrix site). Then I installed the Citrix application and then I followed the instructions on the Ubuntu site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo. I ran the command to copy the certificates like it says:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts

In your case the path was different: /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
In my case the path is: /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts
I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but I copied the certificates and I'm still getting the SSL error 61. I would greatly appreciate some help with this as this is very urgent for me. All of my computers run Linux and I don't want to buy a Windows machine just to access Citrix.

Hi - think your comment below will be your problem, unfortunately cannot remember exactly how I obtained this from the Citrix site, be assured it's there somewhere.

First I reinstalled Citrix after installing " Open Motif" all from Citrix Site - NOT synaptic.

As I recall, I used a" Live CD " of UBUNTU to get this up and running, then copied all the data across. Sorry can't be of more help.

I was not able to find a download on the Citrix website for OpenMotif, but the error I'm getting refers to the certificate issue (SSL error 61). Copying the certificate files to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts folder did not solve the problem. I wonder if there is anyone running LinuxMint 12 that got it to work.

Just follow these guides :-

I obtained appropriate Ca certs from Thwaite Site.

A combination of these enabled me to get up and running - the SSL certificate I used was :ThawtePCA.crt

Post as to how you get on.

In my case the problem certificate is "Network Solutions Certificate Authority". I found the certificate in the mozilla folder and copied it to the .../cacerts folder. Someone suggested changing the extention to .cer, but I tried both .cer and .crt and neither work. I also made sure to edit the certificate's trust in Firefox to allow the certificate to identify software makers, but I'm still getting the error "You have not chosen to trust "Network Solutions Certificate Authority". My only guess would be that the Network Solutions certificate I have is not the right version? Thank you for all of your suggestions. I'm willing to try any other ideas.

Update: I finally got Citrix to work. As I suspected, the issue was with the certificate. I contacted the help desk at work and they provided the necessary certificate.

Excellent - congratulations- Enjoy !!

I'm dealing with a Type 61 "Thwate Premium Security CA" rejection problem, and I am somewhat new to mint. I have the relevant certificates, but I cannot find the appropriate file to place them in. Many comments/threads I have found reference "cacerts," yet I cannot locate this folder. Can anyone clear this up for me?


*Update
Although I have no idea what fixed the problem because I went about it in a very unscientific fashion, by creating the path previously described and placing the certificates liberally throughout, it magically works. I wish I knew why.
