Integration of USB redirect in the ICA client
From Univention Wiki
Note: UCS Thin Client Services (UCS TCS) is deprecated and will be replaced by its successor Univention Corporate Client (UCC). UCS TCS 3.1 will stay under maintainence until December, 31st 2013.
For information about the migration to Univention Corporate Client, have a look at Upgrade TCS / UCD to UCC.
Citrix offers in its product XenDesktop (not offered in the XenApp server) the possibility to redirect USB devices directly to the ICA client. The required software is part of the standard ICA client.
The configuration described below covers the basic configuration steps, but has only been tested rudimentarily.
Removal of standard USB access
The shipped USB access for ThinClients must be uninstalled to avoid conflicts:
univention-thin-client-apt remove --purge \ univention-thin-client-ltsp-config ltspfsd
Installing Citrix' USB extension
The installation of the extension is carried out in the ThinClient change root environment. It is essential, that the ICA client has been installed prior installing the extension.
chroot /var/lib/univention-client-root mount /proc dpkg -i /usr/lib/ICAClient/ctxusb*deb # Accept the license umount /proc exit
Further information
Instructions on how to install the ICA client in the ThinClient environment is covered in the SDB article #1137 (German)
