Never needed to work with a Citrix server but now I do. 8 to 10 outsiders who connect via Citrix. Alpha Five app will be used by them.
First, if you have experience with Citrix, is it pretty straightforward or are there major caveats?
Second, my main concern is trying to set up a private workspace for each user. This is not a problem when each user has a workstation on the network since every user has a C drive unique to them. I typically set up a directory on each of the local drives called c:\root (not to be confused with the root of C -- I name it "root" because I used to use the root of C as the personal work space back in the Alpha Four days, but now I avoid the true root directory and instead just call the place where temporary work files is located as c:\root). My use of the private workspace in c:\root is, among other things, to pass parameters between Alpha and other programs. As long as everyone has the common c:\root, I don't need to worry about anyone's passing parameters clashing with anyone else's.
But, can this be achieved on a Citrix server? It is my impression that everyone on the Citrix server shares the same "C drive", meaning that everything will be shared by everyone. Do you know if this is true? If so, do you know of a way for me to achieve the private workspace for each Citrix user?
Thank you.
