In this area, you can specify the master ICA browser. The Citrix ICA client is connected to the network. It allows you to bring up a list of all Citrix servers and all published applications which are accessible via the network and use the selected browsing protocol.

The address of the first Citrix server to reply then functions as the master ICA browser.

You can specify a separate address listfor each network protocol. This can beTCP/IP, TCP/IP + HTTP or SSL/TLS + HTTPS.

  • TCP/IP - If your network configuration uses routers or gateways, or if additional network traffic owing to transmissions is to be avoided, you can specify special server addresses for the Citrix servers from which the list of available servers and/or published applications is to be requested.

    You can add a number of addresses to the address list so that the clients can establish a connection and function even if one or more servers are not available.

  • TCP/IP + HTTP - You can also call up information from the available Citrix servers and published applications via a firewall. To do this, you use the protocol TCP/IP + HTTP as the server location.

    The "TCP/IP + HTTP" server location supports the auto-locate function.

  • SSL/TLS + HTTPS - Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption offer server authentication and data stream encryption. They also allow you to check the integrity of messages.

    If you try to establish a non-SSL/TLS connection to an SSL/TLS server, you will not be connected. A Connection Failed message will be shown.
