Citrix Gateway plug-in System Requirements

Citrix Gateway plug-in establishes a secure connection from the client machine to the Citrix Gateway appliance.

The plug-in is distributed as a desktop app for Microsoft Windows, macOS X, and Linux operating systems. After you authenticate to the secure URL of the Citrix Gateway appliance with your Web browser, the plug-in is downloaded and installed automatically on your machine.

The plug-in is provisioned as a mobile app for Android and iOS devices.

Note:

  • To install the plug-in, admin/root privileges are required on the operating system.

  • The browsers that support the Citrix Gateway plug-in also support clientless VPN.

Citrix Gateway plug-in as a desktop app is supported for the following operating systems and Web browsers.

Important:

  • Due to a bug (1573408) in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, the VPN plug-in installation fails. The workaround for the same is listed as follows.

  • Windows 10 and Windows 11 in S modes do not support the Citrix Gateway plug-in.

  • Currently, Citrix Secure Access client for Ubuntu supports only the default GNOME display manager.

Type the following command using the command line interface:

sudo dpkg -i nsgclient*.deb
<!--NeedCopy-->

If the required dependency packages are missing, the command lists them and the plug-in installation fails. These dependency packages must be manually installed. Administrators can install a missing package by typing the following command using the command line interface.

apt-get install <dependency package>
<!--NeedCopy-->
