OLF5 Client in Microsoft APP-V 4.5

Post by Jemimus » Thu Mar 04, 2010 2:59 pm

When we set up our new OLF5 install, we tried to package the OLF5 thinclient as an APP-V stream.
It should be noted also, that out users use Citrix as a their main work enviroment.

Basicly, the software works, we ran into 2 problems however. One tricky, the other critical.

- Detection of Adobe Actobat Reader on the host OS may not always work, seems to depend on version

- Cannot detect the Smartcard device on the host OS.
ow this may or may not be related to our Citrix installation. The Smartcard reader is connected to the client PC, and the USB communication to the Citrix session goes via a virtual ICA channel. Within Citrix, the card reader is detectable as a virtual USB device. We know this works in principle, because the Gemsafe toolbox, which is installed directly on the host OS, has no trouble detecting the remote card reader.
The packaged APP-V OLF client however, does not seem to detect it. This is the main issue stopping us from deploying it on APP-V
