A New Look for Citrix:
If you use Citrix for lecture materials containing copyrighted images or for remote access to programs provided by the Learning Resources Center, some things have changed. The web site has a new look and a new address due to an upgrade to Presentation Server 4 in December, 2006.
The previous login address was http://liblrcctx.uams.edu and it looked like this:
The new address is http://liblrcctx.uams.edu/Citrix/MetaFrame/auth/login.aspx and you should see:
Tips for accessing materials on Citrix are:
- You must use Internet Explorer as your web browser! The ICA Client that is required to open any of the materials for a course on the web site will only install in Internet Explorer. Sorry Firefox and Safari users!
- In order for the ICA client to be installed, you must
- Disable any pop-up blockers you have running. Internet Explorer has a built-in pop-up blocker that you can find under Tools, then Pop-Up Blocker, and then Turn off Pop-Up Blocker. If you have a Google or Yahoo toolbar installed, they also have a built-in pop-up blocker.
- You must also enable ActiveX for Internet Explorer. You can do this by clicking on Tools, then Internet Options, and then the Security tab. Then click the Custom Level button, select “Low” in the setting dialog box, click Reset and then OK. You can change your setting back to medium or medium-low after the ICA client is installed.
- Be sure to look for the ICA client User Agreement and click YES after you login and select the application to run.
- You cannot link to Citrix from a course within WebCT! The security settings for WebCT (secure socket layer) will not allow you to access to the Citrix site. Always open up a new Internet Explorer window, and enter the URL for the Citrix site (http://liblrcctx.uams.edu/Citrix/MetaFrame/auth/login.aspx). You can then bookmark the Citrix site URL for future use.
Contact Loretta Edwards, LRC Network Manager, at edwardslorettaj@uams.edu or call 686-6738 if you have questions or need further information about using Citrix, if you cannot get the ICA client to install from the Citrix login page and need manual installation directions, or you need information pertaining to specific login accounts for courses on Citrix.
