Installing the Citrix 11 ICA Client XenApp on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

If you have root access:
  1. Install required libmotif3 package from the Ubuntu repositories
  2. Download the en.linuxx86.tar.gz file from Citrix website
  3. Extract the contents of the archive
  4. Open Applications > Accessories > Terminal
  5. Type "sudo bash setupwfc" and enter the root password
  6. Choose "1" to Install Citrix Receiver for Linux 11.0
  7. Accept default install location (/usr/lib/ICAClient)
  8. "y" to Proceed with installation
  9. "1" to Accept License Agreement
  10. Agree to remaining defaults (y) and press 3 to quit installer
Running Citrix now you may get the following error:
You have not chosen to trust "Name of SSL Certificate", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61)


To fix this copy all the .crt files from /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla to /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts the easiest way to do this is to open a terminal window, browse to /user/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts and enter the following:
sudo cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/*.crt .





If you only have User Access:
  1. Install required libmotif3 package from the Ubuntu repositories
  2. Download the en.linuxx86.tar.gz file from Citrix website
  3. Extract the contents of the archive
  4. Double-click on setupwfc and choose Run in Terminal
  5. Choose "1" to Install Citrix Receiver for Linux 11.0
  6. Accept default install location (/home/yourusername/ICAClient/linuxx86)
  7. "y" to Proceed with installation
  8. "1" to Accept License Agreement
  9. Agree to remaining defaults (y) and press 3 to quit installer
Running Citrix now you may get the following error:
You have not chosen to trust "Name of SSL Certificate", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61)


To fix this copy all the .crt files from /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla to /home/yourusername/ICAClient/linuxx86/keystore/cacerts 


These directions modified from nearly perfect, but difficult to follow (for me) directions found at http://techxplorer.com/2008/11/07/installing-the-citrix-presentation-server-client-on-ubuntu/

Thanks. I keep forgetting how to get past the certificate problem.
