Citrix - XenApp Web Interface - Secure remote access anytime, anywhere

The XenApp Web Interface extends secure access to UNC Charlotte's networked resources beyond the traditional office environment.

With XenApp, most desktop PCs, notebook computers, PDAs or Internet appliances can be used to connect remotely to applications installed on the XenApp server regardless of your local operating system from places such as your home or anywhere access to the Internet is available.

Here is a list of software applications available through XenApp:

• Office 2003 Suite
  • Word
  • Excel
  • Access
  • Outlook
  • PowerPoint
  • FrontPage
  • Publisher
  • Picture Manager
• Office 2007 Suite
  • Word
  • Excel
  • Access
  • Outlook
  • PowerPoint
  • Publisher
  • Picture Manager
  • SharePoint Designer
• SAS 9.2
• SPSS 16
• SPSS 17
• ArcGIS 9.3 Suite
• Maple 12
• Mathematica 6
• Mathematica 7
• IE6
• IE7
• HelpDesk Self Service
• Adobe and FoxIt PDF readers
• JMP 7

Once you launch an application through XenApp, you will be able to see your network files.  For instance, when you launch Outlook through XenApp, not only will you have access to the full email client but you will also be able to get to your personal folders.

First time XenApp users need to install the XenApp Client

Prior to the first time you connect to XenApp delivered applications, you will need to install the XenApp Client. This only needs to be done once -before the first time you connnect to XenApp.

• Windows computers
• Macintosh computers

If you are not using a Windows or Macintosh computer, click on the link to the XenApp Client download site to select the appropriate XenApp Client for your operating system.

Connecting to XenApp from on/off campus

To connect to XenApp, go to http://www.uncc.edu/citrix. Log in with your NinerNET user name and password.

Accessing/Storing files using XenApp

IMPORTANT!  When connected to a XenApp session, the server automatically maps drives back to the local hard drives (in the computer physically in front of you) so that you can open and save files locally while in the XenApp session.  The first time you try to open or save a document, you will be asked for permission to access your local hard drive.  When you allow this, it is only for the current session, unless you choose "Don't ask me again".  Once the drives are mapped, XenApp assigns a location for your local/network drives and will appear for example as “C$ on Client (V:\)” and so on in the XenApp session.

Saving to your H: Drive

Your (H:) drive is mapped to a folder on an ITS server especially for your use.  Saving to your (H:) drive while in a XenApp session works exactly the same as if you were saving from your local computer.
