Installing the Web Interface

Installing the Web Interface

On either platform, it is highly recommended that you follow all web server security guidelines. On a Windows server, you must ensure that the file system is running NTFS and not FAT. Access to the Web Interface Console, where configuration changes are managed, relies on NTFS security. On a FAT file system, no authentication is performed, allowing nonadministrators to manage the Web Interface.

The installation process on either platform is straightforward. Here are some general notes regarding the Web Interface installation:

  • During the installation, you are prompted to provide the TCP/IP port number that the XML Service is listening on. By default, this service listens on port 80. From within the Management Console for Presentation Server, you can view the current XML port setting by opening the properties for the specific server.

  • You are also prompted to install the ICA Client images onto the web server. These images are used to deploy the ICA client to any device that connects to the Web Interface. You can provide client images from the Components CD or from files downloaded from the Citrix website. Client installation images are copied under the following folder:

    < Web root >/Citrix/ICAWEB/< language >/< clientplatform >

    < Web root > is the root of the web server structure, < language > is the two-character language code (en is used for English, for example), and < clientplatform > is the folder that contains the client files specific to that platform. If you decide to add client images manually, make sure you create the proper folder structure.

After the Web Interface has been installed, it is immediately ready for use, although you will likely want to perform additional configuration or customization tasks .

You can test the Web Interface by navigating to the site using a supported web browser. If the Web Interface is configured as the default page, it opens when you provide the URL for the server; otherwise , you need to provide the full URL:

http://< servername >/Citrix/MetaFrame
