Release: IGEL Universal Desktop LX / OS 5.03.100

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014

IGEL Universal Desktop OS 2
===========================
Version 5.03.100
Apr 30 2014

====================
Notes:
====================
IMPORTANT:
Dual monitor configuration for “unsupported hardware” works only if “native
driver support” works properly. It is a prerequisite to assure that the
native driver is really working, as the fallback VESA driver does not provide
any dual monitor configuration. Have a look at Application Launcher’s
About tab->Hardware-Graphics Chipset. If VESA is listed there the native
driver does not work and dual monitor configuration is not functional.

====================
Information:
====================
IMPORTANT: This releases integrates two Citrix Receiver versions 12 and 13.
You can only choose to run either of the versions.
The old 12 Citrix Receiver is still available for compatibility reasons and
activated by default. Version 13 of the Citrix Receiver can be activated at
the local setup of the device or through a UMS profile configuration.
Please check in this readme which restrictions apply and how to switch the
versions.

====================
Known issues:
====================
[ICA/Citrix Receiver 13]
– Currently Kerberos is not supported, so Kerberos passthrough will not work
with ICA sessions and Citrix XenApp/StoreFront.
Workaround: configure “Passthrough authentication”
– Smartcard authentication is supported for ICA sessions created on the IGEL
device (supported with Citrix servers up to version 6.5). Kerberos
passthrough and Citrix XenApp/StoreFront login are not supported.
– Only the “User name and password” StoreFront authentication method is supported.
– During Citrix XenApp/StoreFront logoff the logoff for running desktop sessions
does not work.
– Com-port redirection is not supported.
– Webcam redirection is not supported with H.264 hardware and software encoding,
still legacy theora encoding is supported.

[RDP]
– Fabulatech USB Redirection is not supported with IGEL Legacy RDP Client 1.0.
Please use IGEL RDP Client 2 – RDP legacy mode can be deactivated at
IGEL Setup -> Sessions -> RDP -> RDP Global -> Options page

[Quest vWorkspace]
– Multimedia Redirection:
Sound redirection is not working with WMV/WMA streams
– USB Redirection does not work reliable

[NVIDIA graphics support]
– In dual screen configurations DPMS monitor saving mode creates
display content corruptions on secondary VGA display after resume
====================
New features:
====================
[ICA/Citrix Receiver 13]
– Added Citrix Receiver 13.0.2
– Added support for StoreFront

Hints (It is IMPORTANT to read this, if you plan to use Citrix Receiver 13
instead of 12 and/or want to connect to a Citrix server version 7.x):
– This firmware contains two Citrix Receivers, but only one of them can be
active at a time. Default is Citrix Receiver 12. The version can be
switched by the new parameter “Use Citrix Receiver version 13” in the
IGEL setup at “Sessions->Citrix->Citrix Receiver Selection” (registry:
ica.useversion13). For Citrix Receiver 13 configuration setting the new
parameter “Citrix server version” is mandatory (see below).
– The new parameter “Citrix server version” on IGEL setup page
“Sessions->Citrix->Citrix XenApp/StoreFront->Server” (registry key:
ica.pnlogin.serverversion) defines the capabilities of the Receiver
accroding to the used Citrix server versions (default is “XenApp 6.x or
older”):
IMPORTANT FOR SERVER URL CONFIGURATION in the IGEL registry (With local
IGEL Setup or UMS 4.07.100 the server url is automatically stored at the
correct keys, if you use the provided setup page at
“Sessions->Citrix->Citrix XenApp/StoreFront->Server”):
Depending on the Citrix server version you have configured, different
sets of server url configurations apply:
* XenApp/XenDesktop 7.x Store:
For access to a Citrix Storefront:
registry keys ica.pnlogin.browseraddress_store<NR>.*
(optional: ica.pnlogin.browseraddress_store<NR>.farm)
* XenApp/XenDesktop 7.x Legacy Mode
For access to the legacy mode of a Citrix Storefront:
registry keys ica.pnlogin.browseraddress_store_legacy<NR>.*
(optional: ica.pnlogin.browseraddress_store_legacy<NR>.farm)
* XenApp 6.x or older:
For access to a XenApp Server:
registry keys ica.pnlogin.browseraddress<NR>.*
(optional: ica.pnlogin.browseraddress<NR>.farm)

– For Citrix StoreFront access with Citrix Receiver 13 only https web interfaces
are supported. If the SSL certificate of your Citrix server is not signed
by a trusted certificate authority (like Verigsign, Thawte etc.), you have to
install the root certificate of your own certificate authority on each Thin
Client.
Please use http://edocs.igel.com/index.htm#10200413.htm to access the document
on how to install SSL certificate.
– With Citrix Receiver 13 it is not possible to connect to a Citrix server
with other methods than the web interface (this affects the parameter
“Use Citrix XenApp Services Site” registry key: ica.pnlogin.useserversettings).
Due to that it is not possible to select another password change method than
“Citrix XenApp Services Site”.
– ICA sessions created on the IGEL device only work with Citrix XenApp servers up
to version 6.5.
– The parameter “Deferred update mode” has no effect anymore.
– The window options on IGEL setup page
“Sessions->Citrix->Citrix XenApp/StoreFront->Options” are not supported anymore.

Hints for the configuration on server side (for Citrix servers version 7.x):
– After installation and basic configuration of Machine Catalogs and Delivery
Groups, you end up with a store that uses http only. But the Citrix Receiver
13 for Linux supports stores with https only (the Windows version of Citrix
Receiver has this limitation, too; but it is possible to change some
registry keys on the client side to enable http support; unfortunately
this is not possible with the Linux version of Citrix Receiver).
– To switch the store to https, change the base URL on page “Server Group”
in the Citrix StoreFront Management Console.
– Then adjust the “Transport Type” in the “Manage Delivery Controllers”
dialog of the “Store” page in Citrix StoreFront Management Console.
– Then add a https binding for the website in the IIS Management Console
(you have to choose an SSL certificate in the corresponding dialog).
– Password change is disabled by default on a Citrix server 7.x. To enable it,
open the Citrix StoreFront Management Console and go to page
“Authentication”. Click on the authentication method “User name and
password” and then on “Manage Password Options” on the right pane.
– The error messages of Citrix servers 7.x and Citrix Receiver 13 are terribly
misleading. When you are using Citrix servers 7.x and you experience
problems with the connection itself or login, please double check
that everything is ok on the server side. It is a good thing to check the
overview page for a target machine in Citrix Studio. To get there, choose
“View Machines” in the context menu of a Delivery Group.
Then check for each machine:
– that the “Registration State” of the machine is “Registered”
– that the “Maintenance Mode” of the machine is “Off”
– that the “Power State” of the machine is “On”
– that you are using the correct user if there is a user
mentioned in the column “User”.
Also, if something does not work (although it really should), try to reboot
the Citrix server. In our tests this helped sometimes when we experienced
strange problems.

– With Citrix Receiver 13 there is support for new graphics codec parameters:
– H264 deep compression codec registry keys:
* ica.wfclient.h264enabled (disabled by default)
* ica.wfclient.texttrackingenabled
* ica.wfclient.smallframesenabled
The H264 codec is only usable if the multimedia codec pack is installed.
– JPEG codec registry keys:
* ica.wfclient.directdecode
* ica.wfclient.batchdecode (enabled by default)

Detailed description of the parameters are available at:
http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/receiver-linux-13-0/receiver-linux-13-0.html and

[ICA/Citrix Receiver 12]
– Improved ICA sessions with Kerberos Passthrough: it is now possible to choose
the Kerberos implementation(s) which are used with Citrix via parameter
ica.module.virtualdriver.sspi.kerberosselection.

[RDP]
– Changed default authentication mode to support NLA authentication aside local logon
for automatic access to Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2.
You can disable local logon and network authentication at IGEL setup page
“Sessions->RDP->RDP Global->Local Logon”
(registry: rdp.login.use_rdplogin and rdp.login.enable-network-authentication)
– IGEL RDP 2 only:
– Improved RDP remote apps
– correct positioning of drop down windows
– improved window maximizing and minimizing
– fixed display errors
– Added support for audio recording capability
– Improved RD Web Access:
Added support for the following options at IGEL setup page “Sessions->RDP->RDP Global”:
– Mapping (everything)
– Performance (RemoteFX only)
– Options (Inverted cursor color only)
– Native USB Redirection
– Multimedia Redirection .
– Added RDP session resolution with random settings.
– Added a “RDP connection bar” in a fullscreen RDP sessions, to minimize and quit the session.
The feature can be enabled at IGEL setup page “Sessions->RDP->RDP Global->Window->Enable toolbar”
(registry key: rdp.winconnect.enable-toolbar)

[ICA/RDP]
– Added new method to define multiple USB serial devices:
“Sessions->Citrix->ICA Global->Mapping->COM Ports->COM Port Devices”
(registry: ica.wfclient.comport<NR>)
“Sessions->RDP->RDP Global->Mapping->COM Ports->COM Port Devices”
(registry: rdp.winconnect.comport<NR>)
“Devices->Printer->CUPS->Printers->Printers”
(registry: print.cups.printer<NR>.serial_device)
For RDP and ICA COM Port Mapping, serial printers, USB serial devices
can be defined through USB vendor and device ID. This is done in the format
/dev/usbserial/ttyUSB_Vxxxx_Pyyyy, where xxxx and yyyy are the USB vendor
and product IDs in lower case hexadecimal digits (4 digits each).
In the IGEL Setup running on the thin client currently available devices
will be shown when pressing the “Detect Devices…” button.
– Updated Philips Speech Drivers to version 12.0.9

[VMware Horizon View]
– Updated VMware Horizon View to version 2.3.0-1551379
– Added Realtime Audio Video (RTAV) support. Can be activated in IGEL setup at
“Sessions->Horizon View Client Global->Real Time Audio Video”
– Added switch for “Ctrl+Alt+Insert” redirection to VM. Depending on server
configuration either “Ctrl+Alt+Insert”, “Ctrl+Alt+Delete” or no action can be triggered.
The registry key is located at “vmware.view.sendctrlaltinstovm” (default is false).
– For passthrough authentication added possibility to use the shortened domain name
instead of the fully qualified domain name, like “EXAMPLE” instead of “EXAMPLE.COM”.
Enable shortened domain name for a particular session with registry key
sessions.vdm_client<NR>.options.passthrough_shortdomain

[VPN]
– Added NCP Secure Enterprise client version 3.25-rev15580-i686

[WiFi]
– Updated all WiFi drivers backported from 3.13.2 Linux kernel,
new support for dual Band 2.4GHz/5Ghz wireless USB adapters
based on Ralink RT3572 chipset.
For other new supported devices, please check 3rd party hardware database.
– Added support for self service WiFi connections (Cafe Wireless):
The user can manage and select WiFi connections via the WiFi tray icon’s context menu.
This feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled at IGEL setup page
“Network->LAN Interfaces->Wireless->Enable wireless manager” (registry:
network.applet.wireless.enable_connection_editor)
– Added new parameters for better control of WiFi roaming capabilities with access
points that share the same SSID:
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.lock_initial: Default: false
If true the device will stick to the access point it is connected to
even if candidates with better signal quality are present.
Setting this parameter to true is a last resort for problems that are caused by
too much roaming.
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.bgscan.module: Default: “none”
These settings should be changed by experts only.
Selection of the bgscan (“background scan”) module used by wpa_supplicant
in the cases of WPA Enterprise and WPA2 Enterprise.
If the parameter “lock_initial” is set to true, it is recommended that this be “none”.
Possible values:
– “none”:
No background scanning is done.
– “simple”:
The WiFi module tries to scan for a potentially better fitting AP in the background.
The simple module has the following parameters (default values are those
hardcoded in NetworkManager 0.9.4.0):
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.bgscan.simple.signal_strength: (default: -45)
This defines a threshold that determines which of the following two parameters
shall be effective.
A signal level (dBm) is expected.
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.bgscan.simple.short_interval: (default: 30)
Interval between background scans in seconds if the actual signal level
of the currently connected access point is worse than
network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.bgscan.simple.signal_strength.
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.bgscan.simple.long_interval: (default: 300)
Interval between background scans in seconds if the actual signal level
of the currently connected access point is better than
network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.bgscan.simple.signal_strength.
– Added new parameters that control WiFi roaming between WiFi networks with different SSIDs:
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_check_interval: (default: 10)
The interval in seconds between checking if automatic roaming might be neccessary.
This includes detecting that a connection has been lost and a new one should be
established..
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_quality_threshold: (default: 20)
If the current connection’s quality percentage is below this value
scanning will be performed to find a potentially better network.
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_quality_difference_threshold: (default: 40)
A candidate for automatic roaming is only considered if its quality percentage
is this much better than the current connection’s quality.
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_previously_used_threshold: (default: 55)
During boot: If the previously used SSID’s quality percentage is above this threshold
it is preferred.
* network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_user_selection: Default: false
If true, the user can initiate roaming to a network via the WiFi tray icon’s context menu.
(The context menu must be enabled.).
If automatic roaming shall not interfere with the user’s choice, the following
values are appropriate:
network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_quality_threshold=0
network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_quality_difference_threshold=101
network.interfaces.wirelesslan.device0.mssid_previously_used_threshold=0

[Network]
– Added network-related system tray icons, one per device and VPN controlled with
the following settings:
Wired:
* IGEL setup “Network/Lan Interfaces->Interface[1,2]->Enable tray icon”
(registry: network.applet.lan[1,2].enable_trayicon):
Defines whether the tray icon is shown or not (default: enabled)
* IGEL setup “Network/Lan Interfaces->Interface[1,2]->Enable context menu”
(registry: network.applet.lan[1,2].enable_context_menu):
Switches the the context menu on or off (default: enabled)
* IGEL setup “Network/Lan Interfaces->Interface[1,2]->Enable network info dialog”
(registry: network.applet.lan[1,2].enable_network_info_dialog):
Switches access to the info dialog on or off (i.e. IP address) (default: enabled)
Wifi:
* IGEL setup “Network/LAN Interfaces/Wireless->Enable tray icon”
(registry: network.applet.wireless.enable_trayicon):
Defines whether the tray icon is shown or not (default: enabled)
* IGEL setup “Network/LAN Interfaces/Wireless->Enable context menu”
(registry: network.applet.wireless.enable_context_menu):
Switches the the context menu on or off (default: enabled)
* IGEL setup “Network/LAN Interfaces/Wireless->Enable network info dialog”
(registry: network.applet.wireless.enable_network_info_dialog):

Switches access to the info dialog on or off (i.e. IP address) (default: enabled)
[PowerTerm]
– Improved PowerTerm Interconnect IBM 5250 Emulation:
Added new parameters KBDTYPE and CHARSET at IGEL Setup page
“Sessions->PowerTerm Terminal Emulation->[Session Name]->General”.

[Java]
– Updated Java Runtime Environment to 1.7.0 U55.
– Added exception sites list to allow Java applications to be run after
the appropriate security prompts (according to Oracle’s JRE security

[PowerTerm]
– Fixed setting “Autosave Size and Position” to not send thin client settings
to UMS at termination of session any more. Instead keep size and position
stored locally on thin client.

[Imprivata]
– Fixed imprivata appliance mode to work with dual screen settings in Citrix,
if the setting “ICA->ICA Global->Window->Multi Monitor Fullscreen Mode” is enabled.

[WiFi]
– Fixed support for PCI WLAN adapter based on Ralink RT3091.

[Network]
– Fixed wrong netmask in the network information dialog of the network tray icon.

[Smartcard]
– Fixed bug in smart card service pcsc-lite: When entering the smart card PIN
with certain PIN pad readers inside an ICA session, the PIN input window was
not displayed correctly.
– Fixed SCM Microsystems/Identive smart card readers: handle older reader models
with driver version 5.0.21, only new ones with 5.0.27.
This fixes problems with old readers in driver version 5.0.27.
– Implemented SCARD_ATTR_CURRENT_PROTOCOL_TYPE in pcsc-lite;
this helps smart card log on with SafeSign minidriver

[ThinPrint]
– improved the “default” mark of a printer configured in IGEL Setup
“Devices->Printer->Thinprint->Printer”.

[base system]
– Fixed OpenSSL Heartbleed bug: CVE-2014-0160,
security patches for CVE-2014-0092,CVE-2014-1959,CVE-2013-4242.
– Fixed system suspend/resume caps-lock/scroll-lock modifiers reset.
– Fixed Kerberos authentication:
when typing a wrong password at log on or screen saver unlock, badPwdCount in
Active Directory was incremented by 2 instead of 1 and thus the account was
locked too soon.
– Fixed smart card logon to a Windows 2003 Server based Active Directory.
In this case the parameter “auth.krb5.realms.pkinit.pkinit_win2k” has to be set.
– Fixed non native resolutions with VIA VX800/VX855 graphic chipsets:

Tip: Hidden Citrix Receiver failback switch in the IGEL Linux

Wednesday, April 30th, 2014

Hello Folks,

iam not sure how long this feature already exists but i should mention it here….

IGEL has included in all current LX/OS Firmware Versions (V4.13.x or V5.01.x to < 5.03.100) a hidden “failback” Switch which can help to bypass issues with the latest included Citrix Receiver Version.

In the current IGEL Firmware 5.02.100 you are able to switch between Citrix Receiver 12.1.8.250715 (default, mentioned in the release notes) and Citrix Receiver 12.1.6.231670 (mentioned nowhere… 🙁 ). I do not unterstand why this is included as a hidden feature because it’s a clear benefit to have this option available.

Switching between these Versions is quite simple, you only need to execute the command /services/ica/bin/switch_ica_fallback. This can be done from a command line/terminal session for tests / troubleshooting or you can execute it during boottime for production. If you want to switch back to the “default” version just execute the command again… Funny right?

If you want to perform the last option open a profile or the local IGEL Setup and browse to System – Firmware Customization – Custom Commands – Desktop Commands and enter the command in the Custom Command Desktop Final field. After this change is done the setting will be active after the next reboot.

Update: This solution is not available in the Firmware 5.03.100, use here the switch in the gui or the registry setting System->Registry->ICA and enable useversion13.

Cheers

Michael

P.S.: It might be that this switch will be removed in later firmware releases..
