Getting Citrix Receiver Working on Fedora 19

  1. Download the Citrix Receiver in RPM format here: http://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux.html
  2. As sudo or root, issue a `yum install ICAClient*.rpm`.
  3. Click on the .ica link in your xenapp citrix website. When prompted to open or download the .ica file, select download.
  4. Run `/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh launch.ica` in the directory where launch.ica was downloaded to.
  5. If you see error messages like, "Error while loading shared library : libpng12.so.0 : can not open shared object file", issue a ` yum install libpng12.i686 libpng12-devel.i686`. 
  6. Go back to your Citrix website, and click on the .ica link again. This time instead of downloading it, select open with, and choose, "/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh".
  7.  The Citrix receiver will now complain about  you not having a trusted certificate. You will need to find the certificate needed and place it in the following folder, "/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/". For example if you need the Go Daddy Class 2 certificate, go to the following site and download it into the cacerts folder; https://certs.godaddy.com/anonymous/repository.pki. You can also export the certificate from Firefox (Preference -> Advanced -> View Certificates) or if you have a working Windows computer export it following these instructions.
  8. Citrix Receiver should now work. (If you encounter issues with sound try `yum install alsa-lib.i686` however I haven't bothered with sound yet)

AutoItX4Java - Java AutoIt Bridge

AutoIt is a very useful automation scripting language for Microsoft Windows. It allows for GUI automation using a very simple syntax and can be useful for testing applications. It is packaged with AutoItX which supports accessing AutoIt functions through COM objects. I just created a new project on Google Code for Java AutoItX bindings. The project is called AutoItX4Java and uses the JACOB Java COM Bridge to access AutoItX functions. Currently the project is in an unstable state but hopefully as time goes on things will get better tested. Using AutoItX4Java is simple: Download JACOB . Download and install AutoIt . (or register the dll. See below) Add jacob.jar and autoitx4java.jar to your library path. Place the jacob-1.15-M4-x64.dll file in your library path. A simple example of using this library is below: File file = new File("lib", "jacob-1.15-M4-x64.dll"); //path to the jacob dll System.setProperty(LibraryLoader.JACOB_DLL_PATH, file...

The SQL Server and .Net equivalent of PHP and MySQL's SHA1 function

In PHP and MySql there is an sha1(str) function which generates an sha1 hash of a string. Their usages are simple: <?php echo sha1('password'); ?> //Outputs:5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 mysql> select sha1('password'); +------------------------------------------+ | sha1('password') | +------------------------------------------+ | 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8 | +------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Similarly, .Net has an SHA1 method within the System.Security.Cryptography  namespace which can be used in the following manner to generate the same hash. public static string Sha1(string hashStr, Encoding encoding) { var sha1 = new System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1CryptoServiceProvider(); var hash = sha1.ComputeHash(encoding.GetBytes(hashStr)); return BitConverter.ToString(hash).Replace("-", ""); } Console.WriteLine(S...

Automated web testing with Java, Selenium RC, LoggingSelenium, HtmlUnit and TestNG

I used the  Selenium  web automation framework extensively for a suite of websites I had tested. Over the course of a year I had ended up with a complete automation framework for a suite of websites. This resulted in lots of project specific code. Now that I need to use Selenium for other sites I thought I would write about setting things up at a basic level which includes using HtmlUnit, Selenium, LoggingSelenium, starting the Selenium server through java and using TestNG. Getting Setup Download Selenium RC and Selenium IDE from http://seleniumhq.org/download/ . Selenium IDE will install right into Firefox as an add-on. I am using Selenium RC 1.0.3. Download LoggingSelenium from http://sourceforge.net/projects/loggingselenium/files/ Download TestNG from http://testng.org/doc/index.html Extract the files into your projects library folder and add the following 4 jars to your project: selenium-server.jar selenium-java-client-driver.jar logging-selenium-1.2.jar ...
