Overview
This section describes how to use the client. Topics in this section include:
• Starting an ICA session
• Configuring file type association to access published applications
• Opening a specific application using a connection file
• Printing from a published application
• Using the Macintosh keyboard to make PC keystrokes
• What happens when you get disconnected from the server

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.
