2 Introducing the Citrix Presentation Server Client for Macintosh 13
do is navigate to a certain page, enter their credentials if required, and click
an icon in the list of available resources to start a session.
• You can use the ICA Client Editor to configure a connection to a particular
application, server, or group of servers. The ICA Client Editor saves this
information as a connection file. You can use the ICA Client Editor to set
default values for each connection or build a tailored suite of server desktop
and published application connections. If you want to amend any of the
settings, use the ICA Client Editor to reconfigure connections.
When you open the connection file the client connects to the server. This
information might go through various security systems such as firewalls
and proxy servers before it reaches the server. The server then runs the
desktop or published application, but displays it on your client device as
though it were an application on your hard disk.
This document focuses on creating and configuring connection files.
Client for Macintosh Features
Note: SpeedScreen Latency Reduction, audio mapping, time zone support,
encryption, automatic reconnection, and support for smart card features are
available only when connecting to computers running Presentation Server for
Windows and not computers running Presentation Server for UNIX.

New Features at This Release

•Improved printing. The user can now use the local Macintosh Print
dialog box to control output, and use any printer to which they can connect.
•Kerberos support. Users can now connect to servers and applications
using the Kerberos authentication protocol, and therefore avoid entering
their credentials whenever they try to connect.
•Improved graphics performance. Using Citrix’s SpeedScreen Image
Acceleration technology, the connection now uses less bandwidth when
displaying graphics.
•Session reliability. If the connection to a server is lost, the user can
continue to see the session while the client tries to reconnect.
•Encryption. This release offers Citrix’s SecureICA technology as an
alternative means of encryption.
