Installing the Citrix client to run mySCC on Linux

Step 1: Log in to your Linux installation as root.

Step 2: Open the Mozilla web browser, go to http://myscc.scottsdalecc.edu.

Step 3: Log in using your campus username and password.

  • The Citrix server will automatically run a client detection program and offer to download the client. 
  • Select download and let it download to your Desktop.

Step 4: Extract the files to your Desktop.

  • Double-click the linuxx86.tar.gz icon on your Desktop.
  • Click on Extract.
  • Make sure Desktop is selected in the Places pane, and then click the Extract button in the lower right-hand corner. The files you need will be placed on the Desktop.

Step 5: Install the necessary libraries.

  • In a terminal window, logged in as root, type: yum install libXp. If you've already got it, it will tell you; if not, it will install it.

Step 6: Install the software client.

  • Double-click the setupwfc icon on your Desktop.
  • Choose the Run in Terminal button.
  • Follow the prompts. Choose the defaults and be sure to integrate it into Gnome.
  • The script will loop back to the beginning. Choose “3” to exit the installation program.
  • Verify it is integrated by clicking on Applications>Internet. The Citrix Presentation Server Client should be in the list.

Step 7: Install the Mozilla plugin.

  • In a terminal window as root, type: ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
  • Start Mozilla and in the address bar, type: about:plugins
  • Look for the Citrix client in the list.

If you have trusted certificate problems:

  1. In your web browser, go to http://plone.scottsdalecc.edu/myscc/docs/globalsignrootca.cer .
  2. Save the file to your Desktop.
  3. Copy the file to /usr/lib/ICAClient/ketstore/cacerts .
  4. Restart your browser and try to log in to mySCC.

If you have se-linux problems, try this:

  1. In a terminal window, type: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so
