Citrix: Instructions

To use the Citrix Application Portal, follow these steps:

(1) Launch your browser (Internet Explorer, Safari or other).

(2) Go to the Citrix Applications Portal login page at http://citrix.med.miami.edu/.  

(3) Login using your Medical ID and associated password.  Specify the domain "medical" (or "MEDICAL").

(4) Click on the folder and application icons to launch the software you need.

Like Outlook Web Access, Citrix uses a secure (https) web connection -- indicated by a small "padlock" icon in most browsers -- so the supplemental encryption of a VPN connection is not necessary.

NOTES:

(1 ) Citrix requires installation of a small program (client) before it can be used for the first time.  If you are planning to use Internet Explorer (IE), you should choose the "Citrix ICA client" when prompted.  Click here for instructions for IE installation. If you are using Safari or Firefox, we recommend you set Citrix to use Java.  Click here for instructions for Safari/Firefox.  (We've found Citrix works better with Firefox than Safari.)

(2) Although you can use a dial-up modem connection for Citrix, we strongly recommend broadband (DSL/cable).
