Application Server

What is the Application Server?

The Application Server allows you to run applications that are not actually installed on your local computer. These applications run on a remote server, accessed over the internet. This service works on both Macs and PC's over any internet connection - all you need is to install a UW root (security) certificate and the free Citrix client software on your local computer.

What Applications are available?

Getting Started

• Installing the UW root certificate
• Installing the Citrix client software
• Logging in to Citrix

Next Steps

• How to manipulate files for best results

Browsers

• When connecting to Citrix, we recommend using either IE (PC) or Safari (Mac).
• We have encountered connection issues with Firefox to Citrix (PC), and therefore do not support Firefox at this time.

Other

After exiting an application you may revisit other application folders by clicking the Citrix up arrow button. Otherwise, before exiting Citrix altogether, don't forget to logoff.
