Citrix Setup & Connection Instructions for Macintosh OS X
The instructions that follow explain how to set up the Citrix ICA client for Macintosh OS X (MacOS 10.1 or later). This type of connection will open a separate Windows-type session on your computer.

automatically mount the image, double-click on this file. (If necessary,
first double-click to unzip the file.)
- When the image is mounted, a Citrix ICA Client icon appears on your desktop.
- Double-click on the icon; a new window opens that contains a folder labeled "Citrix
ICA Client." Drag this folder to your Applications folder
and then open it. Double-click on Citrix ICA Client Editor.app.
