Hi All,
We’ve got a number of WYSE S10 that’s we’ve upgraded to WTOS 6.5 that we want to autoconnect to a published desktop on XenApp 6.5.
We can get this to do it if we define a particular XenApp host server, but I dont want to do that incase that particular host server is unavailable at any time, therefore preventing S10 users logging on.
Ideally, they would connect to the web interface (which will always be available) and connect to the published desktop that way. Unfortunately, despite being able to ping the web interface with no issues from the terminal, it cannot find the published applications on there.
Is there any way round this or is the only way to get the users to log on to the terminal with their domain credentials and get them to manually click on the published desktop every time?
Thanks in advance,
Sam
I’ve re-read my post and I think I should clarify a few things.
Our S10’s (on firmware 5.0) used to have a predefined application (the PS4.5 Desktop) which used to autoconnect on startup and present the user with the server 2003 logon screen.
What I want is for the same to happen on the S10’s (firmware 6.5) but on to our XenApp 6.5 desktop.
The only way I’ve managed to get this working at the moment is directly to a XenApp server, however this will mean that all users will connect to that particular server as opposed to the other servers in the farm.
Hopefully I’ve explained that a little better now..!
This is quite simple.
Create a PNAgent site along with your webinterface and point the S10 to that site. If you are using a wnos.ini just add
SignOn=yes
Pnliteserver=your_pnagent_siteIf not, add “your_pnagent_site” to the PNliteserver field in the server connection.

Below is my wnos.ini. When logging in I get prompted with the username / password / domain prompt for PNAgent. Credentials are entered and it accepts it fine. It then logs me in (name changes on bottomleft hand corner) and the connect manager window comes up. Listed there are all the available application from that pnagent site, including the “XenApp Desktop” app. I can manually connect to it and works perfectly, but I can’t get it to connect automatically once a user has logged into PNAgent. Any ideas?

Change your wnos.ini to this:
Pnliteserver=http://access/Citrix/PNAgent1/config.xml ReconnectAtLogon=2 ReconnectFromButton=2 AutoConnectList=”XENAPP6LIVE:XenApp Desktop”
The autoconnectlist string is case sensitive.

When you edit the connection on the S10, then you should see the correct name in the “Application Name” field. Use this with the Autoconnectlist parameter.
Anything in the log file?

I’ve checked the connection details within the application properties and it displays as “XENAPP6LIVE:XenApp Desktop”
How do I see the logs?
In the System Information.
Can you test with a published name without a space?CG
The last line on the System Information after I’ve logged into the PNAgent is as follows:
ICA: pnhost = “access”
I’ve tested with an application that has no space as unfortunately the same result occurs.
What happens when you use
Pnliteserver=http://access/Citrix/PNAgent1/config.xml ReconnectAtLogon=2 ReconnectFromButton=2 AutoConnectList=”XENAPP6LIVE:*”This should autostart ALL published apps.
If that works you can narrow it down by using
Pnliteserver=http://access/Citrix/PNAgent1/config.xml ReconnectAtLogon=2 ReconnectFromButton=2 AutoConnectList=”XENAPP6LIVE:Xen*”
or
AutoConnectList=”XENAPP6LIVE:XenApp*”
and so on.CG
Hello
I work alongside Spammeh and we have no managed to get this autoconnect working.
I just have a couple of new questions if I may?
How do I force the connected session to run in acertain resolution? The terminal works at 1280×1024 but the desktop session doesnt.
How do I force the session to completely log out when the user logs out of the desktop application? (The terminal remains logged in as them)
How do I enable session reliability for sessions.
Finally, for some reason the terminal takes 2 attempts of picking up a DHCP when booted up…….any ideas?
Many thanks

Not possible if you login via PNagent service. You can create ICA connection manually (via wnos.ini) and define the resolution in there.

Put “AutoSignoff=yes” in your wnos.ini
How do I enable session reliability for sessions.
Put “SessionConfig=ICA SessionReliability=yes” in your wnos.ini
Finally, for some reason the terminal takes 2 attempts of picking up a DHCP when booted up…….any ideas?
Put “BootpDisable=yes” in your wnos.ini.

Thanks for this, much appreciated.
Where abouts do I need to input these into the wnos? Below is a copy of ours.
