Citrix Mac Download Ica Client For Windows
So, I'm not quite sure what I'm logging in to here. I have to reach a server that's on someone else's network occasionally to maintain a hosted website. I'm primarily a Mac user but I have windows in a VM for this sort of stuff when necessary. But I'm always looking for a native alternative. My understanding is that some portion of this VPN setup is OS-X compatible, but I'm at a loss here as to which pieces of this setup are running where.
On the windows side, once connected I select the 'Dame Ware' mini remote and that prompts me to download an.ica file, which I run. That, in turn seems to start some type of RDP session to a host, which in turn gives me a remote desktop where the DameWare client is forced to run.
From Dame Ware, I'm then into the host I'm actually managing. Pics of the process below. Any tips on whether I can skip my windows VM? Of note, when I login to the Netscaler on OS-X and get to the section where I select the Dame Ware app, instead of being prompted for an.ica file, a.jsp file is downloaded. No clue why or what is supposed to then open the.jsp file. The only thing associated with jsp files on my end is my text editor.

You shouldn't need a Windows OS to access Citrix. Just install the on your Mac. It tends to play better with Safari than with Chrome, IME. You'd go to whatever website you were given to hit their netscaler (which is acting as an SSL VPN of sorts) and poking you through into their Citrix environment.
You'd then click whatever dameware icon and it will fire up the Citrix client on your Mac. No need for Windows at all. They're having you login to Citrix in order to access their dameware system because they presumably don't want to open dameware directly to the internet. I'm not sure why they can't have you RDP to this host instead of using dameware though. Thats a lot of steps to login. You want to use a Mac application to manage a windows machine?
In the Apple store there is a remote desktop program written by Microsoft. Its called 'Microsoft Remote Desktop'. Its clunky and constantly being updated. The short cut keys are different than Windows and its a last resort app. Frankly, the Remote Desktop in Windows is going to be less painful.

Just noting that as the next poster mentions, this is not a straight VPN and I have no direct access to the internal network. Also, I might be nuts, but I've used the MS RDP client for years and I think it's one of the most awesome things ever. It hasn't been at all glitchy for me and when I run full screen, I have a hard time noticing I'm not on a local VMware windows instance. You shouldn't need a Windows OS to access Citrix.

That did it, thanks! I think it's only going to work in Safari since Chrome has (I believe) disabled NPAPI plugins. As to why this is so convoluted, honestly, I have no idea. I know that people internally do the same thing, they are not RDP-ing directly in. Based on a 'MOTD' on the first windows login, this all seems to be hosted/managed by IBM, so perhaps that explains the baroque login process. You shouldn't need a Windows OS to access Citrix.

So the Receiver doesn't need the NPAPI plugin, if the Storefront/WebInterface server doesn't detect the client you should be able to tell it you have it installed (native client in one of the clickable menus on the web page) at that point the web server will create a.ica file which you then can open and your Mac should have that extension associated with the Receiver.
