Install Certificates in Citrix Client
Now go to your Citrix Access Gateway website. You will get a error the a certificate is not trusted. This is not a message from Firefox, but from the ICAClient.
You have not chosen to trust “Thawte Premium Server CA”, the issuer of the server’s security certificate (SSL error 61).
This message depends on your certificate. Just replace “Thawte Premium Server CA” with your Certificate Authority. First we have to export the certificate from Firefox and copy it to the ICAClient installation.
Export CA Certificate
Firefox > Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Encryption > View Certificates > Authorities
Now select your CA and export. Save certificate to file as a X.509 Certificate (DER).
Copy CA Certificate
- Rename the exported certificate from .cer to .crt and copy them to the following directory of the ICA Client.
- $ sudo cp *.crt /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts
You will find the Client under Applications > Internet > Citrix Receiver
If it doesn’t start, you have to execute the following:
- $ cd /usr/lib/
- $ sudo ln -s libXm.so.3.0.2 libXm.so.4
Update 24.01.2010: Create A Drive Mapping From Citrix To Ubuntu
- Create directory citrixmapping in your home folder
- Start Citrix Receiver and go to Tools > Settings > Drive Mapping
- Click ‘Enable Drive Mapping’ on the bottom
- Click the small box (Enable) to the left of the glasses (Read) and insert your directory. If you want a read-only mapping click the pencil (Write)
- Start your Citrix application and go to z:
Thank you. I needed to use this to do work in my lab at school.
I am having one problem. I’m still getting the certificate not trusted message. I copied the certificate like you said. Maybe I exported the wrong one, named it wrong, or put it in the wrong location?
In Ubuntu 9.10 I followed your procedure. There is now a Ubuntu menu ‘Application > Internet > Citix Receiver’, but no client, and nothing happens. I did install libmotif3. More suggestions?
@Karl
Have you tried the last part in the post?
First reboot and then execute the following:
1. $ cd /usr/lib/
2. $ sudo ln -s libXm.so.3.0.2 libXm.so.4
@Brian
The filename doesn’t matter, just make sure you choose the right one and export it as X.509 Certificate (DER) and save it as .crt
Save it in your home directory and copy it to /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts
Hello,
I have an interesting issue. I have properly installed the libmotif3 package and the Citrix client on my Linux Mint 8 machine (Ubuntu 9.10 is the underlying operating system) and I can launch applications from a remote server with no problem. My issue is this: when using a remote application, I am unable to browse (or read/write) to files located on my machine. When I try to browse to my machine, my machine does not even show up as an option to browse to. I have used the Citrix client on an XP machine before and I understand that I’m not looking for just simply the “C” drive, but I am looking for the main drive on my machine which is labeled differently. I did not follow the instructions on replacing the certificates yet, simply because I am not receiving the error message described above. If anyone could help me with this problem, I would appreciate it greatly.
@Craig
I added “Create A Drive Mapping From Citrix To Ubuntu” to the post.
Thank you very much, I can now access files in the folder I specify! I only have one other question now… when I launch an application that requires Citrix, everything goes smooth, but when I launch the Citrix client from my operating system’s menu, then it launches OK, but I also have a window that comes up and won’t go away titled “PnaAuthDialog_popup”. Do you know why this window appears and if it is normal for it to be there and not go away? Thank you very much for your help!
… I forgot to say something about that mysterious window… the window titled “PnaAuthDialog_popup” only has a title and that’s it! The main part of the window where the content should be is completely blank. There is only a title and the window border. Thanks again.
For some reason, the post I made before the one above did not make it to this page.
Mr. Cremers, I had mentioned that the drive mapping help worked, thanks! Then I mentioned that I have an unwanted window that pops up when I launch the Citrix client from the operating system menu. This unwanted window is titled “PnaAuthDialog_popup” and it has no content in the main part of the window. This window does not appear when I launch an application through Citrix. It only appears when I launch the Citrix client through the operating system’s menu. Also, it will not go away no matter what I do. It finally goes away when I exit the client. Thank you for any help you might give!
OK, now that post is showing up… I don’t know what’s going on. I apologize.
This was great! I did not even have to copy the certificate, because when I went to my Citrix Access Gateway website, I was able to work with no problem.
I am having the same issue as Craig with this pnaauthdialog_popup box. I think it is something to do with the licence that you need to agree to, but without anything in the box you are unable to. Had a similar problem on another Linux system, but the only thing I can remember from that is I had to use the touch command on a file in the .ICAClient folder. However I cannot seem to see this file under Ubuntu. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot! worked perfectly for me.
Hello,
Everything went fine up until the certificate part. I do not have a /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts path on my system. Can I create this manually and copy the .crt there?
Hello i have an intersting problem, i did install all the required citrix and certificates, i am able to launch the remote desktop window after enter the remote machine name /ip address.. it is getting disappeared and doing nothing, remote machine is not getting open
please hlep me here how to remote my machine
thanks
Mallik
Thank you for this concise and illustrative tutorial, it was dead-on !
Also for me this was the solution for the certificate problems I had for months; thank you very much! I had first tried to put the certificates in the directory:
/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla, which was recommended at a forum. But only the directory /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts worked.
PB with pnaauthdialog_popup box:
I have the same issue as Craig on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Citrix receiver 11.100. It seems that the problem could be due to compiz and some graphic driver. To work arround, I disabled the visual effect and now the pnaauthdialog_popup box is not displayed.
May be it can help someone.
Sébastien
The problem with the pnaauthdialog_popup, while goes away with the disabling of compiz, this does not fix the problem. There are some environments (such as using AWN) where disabling compiz is not an option.
Hello,
I need to setup network access to other network via the Citrix Access Gateway. Is this solution helps me? I use ubuntu 10.04. And i want to make this ubuntu machine as router for other computers in my local network for access to other network.
Thanks!
Ubuntu users use this cmd to solve ssl error 61 problem instead of export, save, rename, and copy
“cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/”
Fixes all certificate problems

@Evan
That works too and is much easier. Thanks.
