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.

  3. When the image is mounted, a Citrix ICA Client icon appears on your desktop.
