Security and Networking / Citrix Options For The Zaurus

« on: May 06, 2005, 05:26:56 pm »

For the record:

I asked Sharp; they responded,

You can go to the developers site at www.sdgsystems.com and you may find the software you need at that site.

A lead!  I looked at the sdgsystems.com website, but found nothing.  I e-mailed them, asking if they would provide anything they had 'as is', with no warranty or support.  They only referred me to thinsoftinc.com; saying nothing about whether they ever made a Citrix client.

I made the same request to ThinSoft; they referred me to Citrix, saying only that they "do not offer any Citrix ICA client for Sharp Zaurus."

If anyone finds something, please post updates here and/or at the FAQ:

guanxi,
I have been searching high and low for a Citrix solution myself. It would be real handy. Thanks for the info!

BTW-I contacted thinkofit re. their Winconnect Z product, and they said it was an "obsolete" product, and they don't sell it anymore. It's still available at handago-but there is no free trial-and I'm not going to pay 79.00 for a piece of software if I can't even test run it first!

I have a 5500, running the Sharp 3.10 ROM. (In case you find something out there that might work...) :-)

Have you tried Citrix' Java client?

In general, I'd setup remote control of a Windows box (e.g. via ssh and vnc).  That way, you have access to a Citrix client and any other software that requires Windows.

Thanks for the info on the WindowsZ client; I added it to the FAQ.

I spent a good amount of time researching options for connecting a Zaurus to a Citrix MetaFrame server.  I never found a good solution, but for future researchers I consolidated what I learned here:

Some of the information may apply to using Microsoft Windows Terminal Services, the RDP protocol and of course the ICA protocol.


The lack of a proven solution was a real dissapointment:  A handheld with a good keyboard and a landscape 640x480 screen would make an incredible mobile Citrix client.

In the FAQ, you can now find a list of importers and other useful vendors here:

Please feel free to update with quality vendors.  Obviously, we can't list every one, but it would help newbies and comparison shoppers.
