You may have a rogue process that keeps the session open, we have seen this
with some applications that launch other utilities and they appear to Citrix
to still be an active session, even when the user is disconnected. You
should get the process list and see exactly what is running for these
users.....

Paul:
For some reason, that I haven't been able to figure out, my fat client users
will loose their connection to Citrix. Citrix on the other hand will think
that they are still active. The Connection Center is gone from the users
PC. Yet the CMC shows an active Citrix session. I wind up having to reset
the session before they can log back in. I have them set up to only allow
one active occurrence of the published application.
Since the user doesn't have an active Citrix session on his workstation he
is stuck until he can call the help desk. The problem is that this group of
users works 7 days a week and the help desk is 5 days a week. I need a way
for them to end an active session on their own. Thus the need for this
script. Also since they are not "connected to the Citrix server" I need
this script to run stand-alone on their workstation. As Chris Lynch talked
about in an earlier e-mail I would like to create a ASP page that can be
tied to NFuse.
The only way that I can recreate this is to shutdown the PC (pull the power
cord) without doing a Citrix log out first.
I hope this makes sense.

Would logging off the session accomplish what you need, or must you reset
it? I teach my users how to double-click the connection center (by the
clock), highlight the app, and simply click logoff. This gets rid of their
locked or frozen session, and they re-logon to the app. It is very easy to
do and saves them and my helpdesk time. If this doesn't work for you, (for
my own
curiosity) what does the reset do for you that the logoff does not?

Download the Citrix MFSDK v2.3 from the CDN site. Within there, you can
view the MFCOM PDF that is included within the install. There are a few
sample VBScripts that would assist you in writing an ASP page that contains
the necessary code for querying user sessions.
Email me off list if you need further assistance.

Chris, I like the direction you are taking with this. The problem that I
have is that I don't know anything about setting up ASP pages or the "MFCOM
wrapper DLL" that you talked about. Can you point me to any reading
material that might assist me with this?
Thanks,
Ken ...

Or, you could create a link off of the NFuse page that would send them to an
ASP page that would allow them to reset their session. You can use the
MFCOM wrapper DLL to query for the users session and to also reset it.

First we need to test this. Create a regular user, log them into a desktop
and run tsadmin and see if you can reset your own session.
If that works we can work from that.

Ron, that's a great start. Now how would I set up a function for the user
to use? Can I do this with a batch script, or would it be better as a VB
script?

Someone tell me if I am wrong but I believe someone with user
permissions CAN reset their own session but no one else's. At least I
remember seeing this happen before at a client when their security team went
through the system with us this is one weird thing they found. This had to
be a year ago or so..

Subject: [THIN] Allow user to reset their own session
Hello everyone. I have a need to allow users of published
applications (running on PCs via NFuse 1.7) to reset their own sessions. I
don't want to grant them Admin rights. Does anyone know of a way to do
this? I am hoping to find a script or program that I can give to the user
that will allow them to ONLY reset their own sessions.
Thanks for the help!
