Citrix Environment Configuration
Citrix Environment Configuration Beginning with Citrix Presentation Server 4.5, the Citrix Connection configuration tool is no longer supported. Instead, the configuration of connection settings to the server farm is done through the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
2.1
Citrix Connection Settings Citrix connection settings should be adjusted to the following parameters for the optimal operation of the ARIA Practice Management applications Suite. NOTE: This set of configuration settings must be performed on each Citrix server that will have the ARIA Practice Management applications installed.
1. Click Start>All Programs> Administrative Tools>Terminal Services Configuration to open the Terminal Services Configuration window. 2. Highlight the Connections folder then Double click ICA-tcp connection to open the Edit Connection dialog box. 3. Click on the Sessions tab to set the appropriate timeout values. •
The Active session limit timeout equals the maximum amount of time a user can have an application session open. After this time has elapsed the application session is forcefully terminated.
•
The End a disconnected session timeout equals the amount of time that a session will stay active on the server with the ability for the user to reconnect if the connection is broken because of a network or communications issue. After this time has elapsed the application session is forcefully terminated.
•
The Idle session limit timeout equals the amount of time that a user has not made a keyboard stroke or mouse movement within the application. After this time has elapsed the application session is disconnected and after the disconnection time elapses the application session is forcefully terminated.
NOTE: These three settings can be adjusted, but it is strongly recommended that they be kept at the values noted in the screen shot that follows.
4. Adjust the settings that have been identified to match those in the following screen shot. The numerical values and corresponding words may not be found in the drop down selection exactly as worded in the screenshot. However, they can be typed-in directly as desired.

Varian Citrix Policy Creation A Varian specific Citrix policy will be created and should be applied to all Citrix servers where the Varian applications are installed. Exercise care so as to ensure that no other Citrix policies that may be present have higher priority. 1. Click Start>Programs>Citrix>Management Consoles>Presentation Server Console to open the Pass-through Authentication dialog box with the Log On to Server Farm dialog box in the background.
NOTE: The first time the presentation console is launched you can select the Enable passthrough authentication check box so that in the future, the presentation server console will automatically login with your current credentials. The credentials that you are logged in with must have administrative privileges to the Citrix server farm. If this is not the case, then you will have to cancel the Pass-through Authentication dialog box to display the Log On to Server Farm dialog box and log in using the credentials that have administrative privileges to the Citrix server farm.
2. Select the Enable pass-through authentication check box. 3. Click OK to open the Citrix Management Console window. 4. Right-click Policies.
Figure 4: Create Varian Policy 5. Select Create Policy to open the New Policy dialog box. 6. Type <Varian> for the policy name. 7. Type <Varian> for the description. 8. Accept the remaining defaults and click OK to add this policy to the Contents tab. 9. Double click Varian to open the Varian Properties dialog box. 10. Adjust the following settings identified in the series of screen shots that follow.

Select Properties to open the Properties dialog box. 12. Select Security. 13. Select the Relaxed security radio button. 14. Click OK. CAUTION: The practice management applications rely on the isolation environments to function properly. The isolation environments are stored on a user-by-user basis within the user's Windows profile. In a multiple Citrix server farm, roaming user profiles is recommended to be enabled to ensure the proper operation of the isolation environments as a user is load balanced between different servers within the farm.

Practice Management Client Installation
Practice Management Client Installation NOTE: In most Citrix server farms, the Citrix servers have the C: drive reserved for the Operating System functions only and the D: drive is where applications are most commonly installed. Keeping with this best practice method, we install the Practice Management Client applications to the D: drive under D:Program FilesVarian and D:VMSOS Citrix Presentation Servers may elect to hide C and D drives. Other Citrix best practices are to remap the server drives to M and N. Usually C drive is remapped to M and D is remapped to N respectively.
