u

Start the ICA Client on the client device; get an IP address or server name of a
Citrix server from an administrator or from the server browsing service
provided in ICA Clients; start the ICA Client’s connection wizard, specify the
address and configure connection options such as encryption, window size,
and color, double-click the connection object; log on to the Citrix server
desktop; navigate the desktop for the word processing program’s desktop
shortcut, Start menu shortcut, or Program Manager program group. Then, if the
user needs access to another application, and the application exists on another
Citrix server, the ICA Client user must repeat the process.

u

Start Program Neighborhood, perform a single logon that authenticates the
user to all published applications in an application set, double-click an icon for
the word processing program. Starting additional applications requires simply
double-clicking their icons in Program Neighborhood.

Application publishing benefits users of other, non-Program Neighborhood ICA
Clients (such as the UNIX, Macintosh, DOS and Web Clients) as well. Although
they do not support the complete (server and client-side) administrative
configuration of the ICA connection provided by Program Neighborhood, these
ICA Clients do support connections to published applications.

In the case of the ICA UNIX, Macintosh, and DOS Clients, client users can
benefit from application publishing’s simplified addressing and desktop
navigation when they configure connections to published applications using their
connection configuration managers.

In the case of the Web Client (available as an Internet Explorer Active-X control,
Netscape plug-in, or Java applet), you can create Web access that lets users of
client devices running a Web browser and an ICA Web Client click a link in a
Web page to start a published application.

To give a broader range of your users the benefits of the new Program

Neighborhood features, you can publish the ICA Win32 (Program Neighborhood)
Client application on your Citrix servers. Users of the non-Win32 Citrix ICA
Clients can then define in their connection managers a single connection to the
Program Neighborhood published application. Once they connect to the Program
Neighborhood published application, they can launch all other applications
published on all the Citrix servers in your farm from a single easy interface.
