Introduction
Citrix Receiver allows you to connect to SAP WTS (Windows Terminal Services) and VDI virtual
desktops provided by the E2E Desktop Virtualization Team.
The virtual desktops are web-based Windows virtual PCs complete with Microsoft Office, Outlook
email and other standard SAP applications. You can access your virtual desktop using an internet
browser on aWindows, Macintosh or mobile device that has the Citrix Receiver installed.
With the migration from our old access portal, mywts.sap.com, to our new portal,
https://access.sap.com , Citrix Receiver becomes the main entry point for all resources we provide.
In order to use the Citrix Receiver with our new access platform, please follow instructions in this
guide.
Installation
If the Receiver is older than version 4.1 or not yet installed on your local machine, please download
and install the latest version from the download page:
http://access.sap.com/default.asp?Zone=Download
Accessing our portal
To connect to our resources just go to http://access.sap.com.
This shows the main entry page.
1. From here, select the region you want to connect to.

2. On the regional page, select the corporate access type.
In this example, we selected Office, which then opens the logon page of the Citrix Access
Gateway.
3. Enter your UserID in the User name field. There is no additional Domain information needed,
regardless which domain your user belongs to.
4. Enter your Domain Password and a Passcode generated with your SecurID card.
After successful logon you will see the CitrixWeb Receiver Home Screen with the applications you
have already subscribed to. If you have not subscribed to any applications, you will see at least the
SAP Desktop which is pre-configured for all Office sites globally.

home screen of the Web Receiver.

you can add to your home screen by just clicking on it (indicated by a green checkmark).

it but not add it to your home screen. This is only possible via the above explained method.

will then be started.

Usability Features of the Citrix Receiver
Below you will find some useful information about the usability of Citrix Receiver.
A very useful feature is that you don’t have to recognize any URL to access the resources.
When your Laptop is connected to the corporate network, the Receiver will log you on
automatically.
When you are working from outside SAP you will be prompted with a logon dialog to enter your
credentials including a SecurID Passcode.
1. In the User name field enter your UserID. There is no additional Domain information needed,
regardless which domain your user belongs to.
2. Enter your Domain Password and your Passcode you have generated with your SecurID
card.

loads.
The session window appears and you see the logon process.
You may be prompted with the following pop-up.
If this occurs, you can choose to block or permit the session access to your local resources. You
can change this later as well via the Citrix Toolbar.

Add additional resources
You can search for a specific resource by typing keywords in the Search field at the top of the
screen.
In this example it shows all available resources where the term “sap desktop” is either in the name
or the description.
From the local Receiver you can also add the resource to your home screen.

From here you can browse the folders and look for the resource you want to add.
A small arrow indicates that there are subfolders in this group. If you click on the arrow the
subfolders will be shown, as well as all resources available to you in the Projects mainfolder.
In the example below we have chosen the folder “Development” from the subfolder menu to show
the resources in this folder.
If you now click on one of these resources it will be added to your home screen in Receiver, as
indicated by a green checkmark.

To remove a resource, right-click on it and select “remove”. Alternatively, move your mouse to the
left top corner of the icon which will then show an X. Click the X to remove the resource.
You can also change the order of the apps on your home screen in Receiver by simply dragging
the icon to another location and then dropping it. This is very useful to get a better overview if you
have multiple resources subscribed.
Easy Access
To make connecting to WTS easier, you are not required to start the Citrix Receiver to connect to
your SAP Desktop or other resources you have subscribed.
Once you have installed and configured the Citrix Receiver, you can simply start the application
from the Start Menu. Selecting any application from there will first launch Citrix Receiver for you.
Just click on the link in the Start Menu and the session will be started.
The first session will take some time, because the receiver will be started in the background and
check the store to verify if any new apps have been added. Therefore, we recommend patience
during the first launch.
