Citrix Gateway VPN supported?

I'm not finding any Citrix Gateway client VPN entries in the advanced Session settings despite a huge list of other VPN's.
Is there some equivalent VPN by another name that works?

Hi,

I'm not familiar with this (and can't find anything of the sort in RDM Windows). Is this something that you can launch with command lines? If so, you could use the Custom VPN and configure it with the proper launch opening and closing arguments.

I was not able to make the Custom VPN entry work, but I reconsidered and decided that was not an important feature. In one try it said executable not found, and another way it just pretended as if it had started it but it did not appear.
I did want to note the Citrix Gateway has been de-supported according to Citrix docs and the new version is named Citrix SSO VPN. I suggest adding support for that one if it's possible.

Hi,

And you can confirm that it supports command line arguments (or any other means to communicate with it actually)? If so, can you provide a link to some documentation?

In some brief browsing I'm not finding any sign of command line parameters. It also launches a web page to get the username and password, plus phone text token.

Without a way to communicate to the app, this risks being very difficult to implement.

I've noticed that the Citrix SSO client create a VPN configuration in the System Preferences -> Network panel. That being said, it can't even be launched with AppleScript:

tell application "System Events"
	tell current location of network preferences
		set theService to service "vpn.citrixsso.com"
		connect theService
	end tell
end tell


For instance, the previous code would work for a L2TP VPN, but while the script "finds", calling connect on it does not work and return "missing value" instead.
