The Configuration Utility is a UI-based configuration web page that helps administrators customize Citrix Workspace app for Chrome and HTML5 for their enterprise. It is also compatible with Citrix Receiver for Chrome and HTML5. I use Citrix to be able to log into my work PC from home. Previously, I found a way to force chrome to download the.ica files, instead of automatically opening them in chrome. IMHO, the in-browser version is totally horrible, and the actual Citrix Workspace app is fully functional, and 100 times more usable.
