This article discusses the various profile options you can use with Citrix.
Introduction
Citrix runs on a Microsoft Windows platform. Because of this, Citrix uses Windows profiles to save a user’s application configurations and settings. Depending on which application you use will determine how profiles are saved or if they are even saved at all
Information
Here are the 3 different methods in place for Citrix profiles.
- Local Profile – Profile settings are kept on the local server that the application runs on. This is common when only one server supports the application.
- Ivanti – Ivanti is a service that captures profile settings and stores them in a remote database. A user can log into multiple Ivanti enabled servers and retrieve the same application settings. This is used when a Citrix application is supported by a pool of servers.
- No Profile Saved – In some cases, profiles are not needed and therefore are not saved.
