How to run the Citrix ICA client from a USB disk

The Citrix ICA client can be migrated to a removable disk, so you can connect to Citrix servers without having to install a client locally. This can be paired with Dekart Logon for Citrix, which can also run from removable media. As a result, a bundle is obtained, offering you a secure way to connect to remote servers.

How does it work?

  1. Uninstall the Citrix ICA client from your system
  2. Install Citrix Program Neighborhood by running ica32.exe
  3. Edit C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\WFCLIENT.INI, by adding

    [WFClient]
    UsersShareIniFiles=On

  4. Save the file
  5. Run Citrix ICA Client, then close it (do nothing else).
  6. Verify the contents of C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\, a new folder should be there - INIFiles; it should contain the following files:
    • Appsrv.ini
    • Wfclient.ini
  7. Copy the Citrix folder (and its subdirectories) to the removable drive
  8. Install Dekart Logon for Citrix ICA Client (advanced mode) to the flash disk
  9. Uninstall Citrix ICA Client from the computer
  10. Run Dekart Logon for Citrix ICA Client from the flash disk (try creating a new connection in the KSD manager, to confirm that everything works as expected)

Password Carrier and Windows Vista

A new beta of Password Carrier is now available, it brings Vista compatibility into the game; 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista are both supported.

Other changes:

  • An error was fixed - at times the program would fail if the number of collected credentials would exceed a certain threshold;
  • Inactivity is now shown via a tray-icon (the program locks itself if the computer is left unattended)

How to update

Simply extract the contents of the archive to the removable disk, overwriting the current files of the program. Make sure you do not delete any of your .dka files (the profiles that contain your identities, and the credentials associated with each identity).

The beta is in a stable state, there are no known issues with it. The program is now an official release, and can be retrieved from dekart.com.

Why Password Carrier

Password Carrier is not just another form filler, it is much more than that, because:

  • it was designed with security in mind - the collected data are encrypted with AES-256;
  • biometric authentication can be used as a third authentication (along with "something you have" - the USB key, and "something you know" - the PIN);
  • it is absolutely portable - works on any Windows system, does not require administrative privileges;
  • all the private data are always with you, and updates happen on-the-fly - newly memorized passwords can be used on other computers, not only on the one on which they were captured;
  • Password Carrier understands the meanings of the fields - so that if the design of the web-page is updated, it will still be able to figure out where to type in the data.
