You have now successfully installed the Citrix ICA Client for the Macintosh. At this point, if you are using Web Interface to deploy your applications, nothing further is required. If, however, you would like to use the traditional configuration method to access your Citrix Server farm, the following steps will guide you through creating a connection.
Creating a connection to a Citrix server or server farm is very easy. The principal of the tools differs slightly from that of the Windows based client. To start with, the Citrix ICA Client for the Macintosh does not have Program Neighborhood functionality. Instead it is more of a fixed configuration using connection files to establish connections. If Program Neighborhood functionality is desired, it is recommended to use Web Interface 2.1 or Elite to deliver the application set. However, it is still required that you install the client through the aforementioned series of steps. The following defines how to create a connection file in order to launch an ICA session. 1. To launch the Citrix ICA Client for the Macintosh and connect to a server, it is necessary to create a connection file first. To do this, navigate to the folder it was stored into during the installation. If you followed the aforementioned installation instructions, open your hard disk, then the Applications folder, followed by the Citrix ICA Client folder. 
2. Launch the Citrix ICA Client Editor by double clicking on it. This will bring up a tool that will allow you to configure your connection, and then save the settings to a file that will launch a session. 
3. The Network Connection property page allows you select a server or a published application, and optionally, your username, domain, and password. Depending on your situation, you may need to adjust your server location parameters in order to enumerate and connect to the Citrix server farm. 
4. To change your Server Location values, click on the pull down list at the top of the page. Select Server Location. 
5. The default settings are for TCP/IP+HTTP, or otherwise refered to as XML browsing. The default server for XML browsing is a DNS alias to your server farm named ICA. (however, it is not displayed. If either of these values needs to be adjusted, uncheck the Use Default option. 
6. Once you have adjusted your Server Location settings, return to the Network Connection property page to select your server or published application. If your server location settings are correct, you should be able to click on the pull down list next to the Server: text box and enumerate your servers or published applications depending upon which radio button is selected. 
7. When you have finished selecting the settings for your connection, click Save to store your connection parameters to a connection file. You will be prompted to select a location to save the settings to. In this example, the connection to the published application named Desktop is being saved as Desktop on the the Macintosh Desktop. 
8. After saving your parameters, exit from the Citrix ICA Client Editor. You should now have a new icon on your desktop with the same name as was given in the previous step. Double click to launch a connection and test the configuration. 
If you are able to connect, congratulations! You have finished installing and configuring the Citrix ICA Client for the Macintosh.
