read http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/6641/discussion/ first. To recreate the issue you will need: Metaframe XP(e) on Windows 2000 Netware client 4.83 One or more printers installed on the Metaframe server where the queues are on a Netware server There might be prior versions of Metaframe and/or Netware client also having this problem, please do research on your current setup. 1) Login to a metaframe server on the console as a 'workstation only' user 2) Login to the Metaframe server through a Citrix ICA client (also workstation only) 3) In the ICA session, make sure you are *not* logged into Netware network and then go to Start->Settings->Printers or just start Word and try to select one printer who has a queue on a netware server. This session will seem to hang. 4) Go to the console on the Metaframe server and wait a few seconds you will get a Netware login dioalog asking you to authenticate to the Netware server/NDS. On the console, type in admin user and password for the Netware server/tree. 5) Now, in the ICA session, which will not hang anymore, try to figure out your permissions on the Netware server/tree. You will probably find you have the exact same rights as the authenticated user on the Metaframe console. In fact, not only the rights, but your entire ICA session *is* logged in as the user on the Metframe console. The workaround for this issue is to tweak the registry settings for the Netware client to not prompt for login because of printer requirements. http://support.novell.com/cgi- bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10024829.htm The exact settings are: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell\Print\Never Login\Never Login = 1 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Novell\Print\Never Login\UseDialupSettings = 0 This issue is reported to Citrix Steinar Kleven _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
