Squid+SquidGuard and citrix workspace web app

Michele Trotta · Apr 13, 2023, 5:00 PM

Hi guys,
i have a problem with citrix workspace web app.
The configuration of our pfsense is the following v 2.6.0 , squid 0.4.45_9 and squidGuard 1.16.18.20.
Squid is configured with "Enable SSL filtering" and everything works fine.

Now for one of our customers we are running checks on citrix workspace web app.

The "citrix workspace web app" selected a "web app" opens a new Microsoft Edge window with the reference app.

If the client is without "pfsense" "citrix workspace web app" opens web pages correctly on Edge.

If the client is with "pfsense" the citrix workspace web app does not open web pages correctly on Edge (as figure below).

until

Now I wanted to know if any of you have already come across this problem and if you have solved it in some way.

Thank you all for the support

Michele

Hi everyone ,

sorry for the delay, but the problem has been solved.

When the citrix workspace web app is launched it is asked to open a new page with microsodt EDGE. When "Open APP" is confirmed, a file with the ICA extension is downloaded. In this file there is a parameter that identifies an internal proxy that citrix will use. Now once this value has been discovered, it must be included in our Squid and the game is done!!!!

Good job everyone
