| Summary | How can I use telnet to test a connection through webNetwork to citrix. |
| Details | To debug a citrix problem connecting to 1494, citrix says to type telnet my.citrix.server 1494 and see if the ICA prompt appears. When I am using webNetwork and an http proxy and I type telnet my.relay.address 8080 I connect but do not get the ICA prompt. |
| Resolution | This is because of the way a proxy works. To do the same test to citrix do the following. Login to the portal so you are authenticated and the Launch on Start activates the port you configured for http proxy to citrix. Go to a telnet program and connect to your relay on port 8080 (or whatever port you configured) once connected type: connect citrix.server.address:1494 http/1.0[enter][enter] citrix.server.address = the real address for the citrix server :1494 is the port that citrix listens on. [enter][enter] = press enter 2 times. If you make a mistake typing, you must start over because you are sending your mistakes to the citrix server which will not know what to do. Depending on your telnet client you may want to turn on LOCAL ECHO so you can see what you are typing. If using the command line telnet built into windows XP, type: telnet [enter] set localecho [enter] o [enter] relay.server.address 8080 [enter] Now your should be able to see what you are typing. If after entering in the connect command you are properly configured you will see: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 21:53:51 GMT Server: Jetty/5.1.6 (Linux/2.6.5-7.201-default i386 java/1.4.2_08 Content-Length: 0 Connection: close ICAICA If you get anything else like a 403 error, then the relay is unable to talk to the back end citrix server or you don't have rights to use that proxy. |
