Citrix blog announced a way to hide XenDesktop/XenApp apps on BYO devices like Android, Ipad, Windows and so on based on Netscaler rewrite filters. This can be usefull when specific apps aren’t needed to see for functional or other reasons. To visualize the communication flow, I have made a Visio drawing, see below.

To read more about this and how to configure the Netscaler, here is the link: http://blogs.citrix.com/2013/11/18/hiding-xaxd-applications-by-using-netscaler-rewriting-functionalities/

Sometimes you suddenly can’t connect to a published application and/or dekstop on XenApp. After investigation you notice that the IMA (Independement Management Architecture) service isn’t running and won’t restart anymore. The tool which can help then is IMA Helper from Citrix.
With this tool you can:

• Recreate Local Host Cache;
• Recreate DSN file;
• Check IMA service state.

The tool can be downloaded from Citrix, see article CTX133983.

The name says it, with this app you can connect to Citrix published apps/desktops and create your own ICA files.
You can use the generated ICA file(s) to present apps to:

• The startmenu of the user with or without RES tooling such as Workspace Manager (formally known as Powerfuse);
• Desktop of the user with or without RES tooling such as Workspace Manager (formally known as Powerfuse);
• Another XenApp farm with SSO (Single Sign On) capability;
• Silo with SSO (Single Sign On) capability.

The tool can be downloaded from Citrix, see article CTX122536.
