Starting an ICA Session

After you create one or more connection files (or complete connection details in the ICA Client Editor), you can start an ICA session.

When you start an ICA session, you may see additional messages or warnings displayed on your screen, depending on the requirements of the application you are opening. For example, some applications require read/write access to a directory on your local hard disk (for example, the Home directory) and you may get a dialog box asking you to deny or allow access. If you deny access, you may have trouble using the application if it needs to access local files.

To start an ICA session

Do one of the following:

•Double-click the connection file, or single-click the connection file if it is in the Dock.

•Drag and drop the connection file onto the client icon.
