Citrix is a software solution which enables you to be able to work on your projects with your usual programs flexibly, location- and device-independently. Citrix is, therefore, your virtual workplace which you can access from anywhere: your office PC, your laptop at home using your smartphone or tablet when you're out and about.
Fundamentally, the connection to the Digital Workspace can be set up via Citrix both from the internal network of the university and also from an external network.
In this step, we describe how to set up access to the digital workplace on your devices.
Citrix can be used on all devices made available by ZIM. If you are using a private device, please note the installation according to operating system.
So that you can carry out audio and video conferences via Skype for Business and Zoom under Citrix smoothly, it is vitally important that after the installation of Citrix itself, you also add plug-ins for the respective conference software on your private device.
In order to be able to access Citrix externally it is necessary for security reasons to set up your smartphone or tablet for so-called two-factor authentication (2FA). This is important, in order to be able to generate one-time passwords on your device with your ZIM ID.
In order to be able to work with Citrix on your private device, you need to install the so-called Citrix Workspace App as a basic requirement.
