About the Citrix Client for Mac OS X

The Citrix client for Mac OS X is installed locally on your Mac. This differs from connecting to applications via the Virtual Desktop Web Interface and the Citrix client for Java.  For instructions on how to configure the Citrix client for Java, click here.  For a description of the differences between the two clients, see this article.

If you would like a more integrated method of connecting to a smaller number of Virtual Desktop applications on a regular basis, you should use the Citrix client for Mac OS X.
