Error when trying to turn on bitmap caching for web ica clients
Hi guys!
Im trying to turn on bitmap caching for ica web clients and I think Im doing something wrong.
=============== Normal way of connection: (This works - with no modifications to anything, and bitmap caching off)
1) Get an internet connection
2) Go to the web interface/secure gateway url
3) Login - displays list of citrix apps
4) Launch an app
All is good.
What Id like to do:
Enable bitmap caching for web ica clients.
What I did:
1) Get an internet connection
2) Go to the web interface/secure gateway url
3) Login - displays list of citrix apps
4) Right clicked on a citrix app - save as - launch.ica
4) I then opened the above launch.ica - edited it with the following to enable bitmap caching:
[WFClient]
PersistentCacheEnabled=On
PersistentCacheSize=429356 33
PersistentCacheMinBitmap=8 192
PersistentCachePath=C:\tes t
[Application Name]
PersistentCacheEnabled=On
I then saved this again, and then just double clicked on this launch.ica file, only to get the following message:
"Application Error
Cannot connect to the Citrix Metaframe Server
The Citrix SSL server you have selected is not accepting connections."
When I just launch the application from the list when logging in through the web interface, it works.
My question is how do you set up bitmap caching for web clients?
Thanks.

First of all you will want to make these changes to your default.ica (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix
Try making your changes there and then see if you still get the error message. Make sure to not add the parts that say "[WFClient]" and "[Application Name]" because those statements will already exist in the default.ica file.
