wow, that sounds odd - go to higher color fixed......I will have to try
that. I went onsite to the client and on the LAN access, it is not too
bad but you can see a slight difference between windowed & seamless
modes. It gets worse on the WAN end.

We had a similar issue with a graphically sluggish application, by
upping the resolution from 256 to True Color solved our problem.

If I understand everything correctly you are setting up
everything in PN to use passthrough authentication but it is not working
when logging in through an ICA session. If this is the case go into the
Citrix connection configuration on your Terminal server and make sure
you don't have the checkbox checked for 'Prompt for password'. If this
is on then you can't use passthrough authentication.
As far as the graphically challenged app, need for info. What
is the app? Does it have a backend that is not on the same network as
your Terminal server? I would start my checking the performance on the
terminal server and make sure you don't have any duplex mismatches on
the NIC.

Joe - I am now using the desktop shortcut from the PN, I still
cannot get the pass thru to work....in the PN Application Set Settings
login tab, if I select pass thru login for local user, it prompts with
the PN login info/pwd/domain when running the app. When you enter it,
it changes the login info to User-Specific Credentials. The ICA
Settings show pass thru enabled.
My other problem is trying to work on why the seamless app is
graphically challenged. Sluggish in seamless mode when I have tried
turning off/on bitmap cache & speedstream.

Hmm... Not sure why you are creating custom .ica files. Simply
install the PN Agent Pass-through client (from the MFPS 3.0 install) and
use that instead. If you insist on using .ica and want Single Sign on,
you will need to add an entry that allow SSO via an ICA File.

Subject: [THIN] Passthru Authentication - still prompting
Something is awry here that I could use help on from the
experts. This is the first citrix box install - we normally only do
TS2000/2003 installs.
I have a citrix PS3ent app server publishing 5-10 apps to
another TS2003 server where users login to access the rest of the 10+
programs. I created the ICA packaged .ica ini file for the app and put
that icon on a users TS session desktop folder - but when they click on
it - it prompts for login to the citrix. Am I missing an obvious here?
The farm has pass thru set and I want the login credentials of the users
domain credentials from the TS session to pass to the citrix app server
seamlessly.
Here is some other oddities I could use some clarification on:
1) Using the same published app - the ica ini package opens the
program fine (from the TS2003 session) except for the login needed - it
appears on the TS desktop as a program running there. Users will NEVER
know the difference...they can minimize it, it only has one top window
menu bar etc. But, I did notice screen graphics a bit draggy as they
seem to gradually appear rather than snap.
Does the ICA engine create that much overhead to drag the
program pull down graphics etc vs. using PN to enter?
2) If from the users TS session, I go into PN and run the app
thru there - it passes thru fine with no login (once you enter your own
login info in PN), but the published app screen goes full screen with no
TS users desktop. So, I changed the published app to 1024x768 instead
of full screen, but now it looks like a session inside the TS session
rather than a program. Program menus & graphics in this method snap
like they should.
I am still trying to test this various ways looking for what I
need - which is icons I can put on the TS2003 Sessions of the users
(deployed via the existing login script where program shortcuts are
given to the users), the icon graphic will need to be able to be changed
to match the program (this may rule out the ICA engine ini file),
seamless login to the app with no secondary login prompts, no drag in
graphics and the program cannot have any extra screen menu bars and
appear like the program is running in the TS session.
Any advise would be a great help. Thanks.
