What lead you to the browsing environment that you are currently using? Is it regulatory compliance? Do you have management buy-in? It sounds like the users are frustrated and that management is requesting a review of the current architecture. Using Citrix helps to sandbox/virtualize/isolate the IE session from the desktop. I would use this to my advantage and configure the IE settings to be secure as possible and would not save any user settings including the user's session. Each time the user accesses IE, he or she would always start with your default configuration. I would firewall off the Citrix farm as much as possible so that any malicious code that a user may download is isolated from the rest of the LAN. This would allow you to loosen some of the security controls that you have in place around active content while not increasing your security risk significantly. Hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
