HOW TO broadcast fax in RightFax using mail merge
You can set up a Mail Merge when you choose to send out a broadcast fax. This mail merge process will need to utilize embedded codes to provide addressing information for your fax recipients. The benefits of a mail merge are that each individual fax can be personalized or customized to fit the recipient, in addition to or in place of a personalized cover sheet. Instead of sending 500 faxes where the coversheet is personalized but the body of the document is the same for all faxes (by using a library document or other attached file), the merge process will provide the body of each fax with contact information specific to each recipient. For example, imagine the faxes being addressed to each recipient such as “Dear Jalal” or “Dear Khan,” as opposed to each fax simply saying” Dear Valued Customer.” The drawback to using a mail merge is that each individual fax page must be converted from its native format to a .tif image, which requires the attention of the processor on the server.
You can reference the RightFax User’s Guide for assistance on properly setting up the Mail Merge Fields in your document. See the section entitled “Phonebooks and Broadcast Faxing.”

HOW TO Automate http to https Redirection of Web Interface for XenApp
Enterprise customers will often make one of the following choices:
• Leave the Web Interface homepage as an unsecured URL, ergo with the http:// prefix
• Force users to remember the https:// prefix to the Web Interface URL
• Redirect the Web Interface homepage from an http:// URL to an https:// URL
There are associated risks involved with each of these choices. Passwords will be transmitted over the network in clear-text if the Web Interface homepage is left unsecured (with an http:// prefixed URL).Forcing users to remember the https:// prefix to a secured URL may require end user training and result in additional help desk calls. The choice made by many Enterprises is to redirect the Web Interface homepage to a secured URL.
How it Works
- The end user opens their web browser and types the unsecured URL to the Web Interface server, such as http://citrix.itgeeeks.com.
- Before being presented with the Web Interface login screen, the end-user is redirected by the IIS server.
- The IIS server will redirect the end-user to a secured URL.
- The secured URL is populated in the end-user’s web browser.
- The end-user is now presented with the secured URL without being prompted for additional information. This will ensure that the end-user’s credentials are encrypted using SSL.

HOW TO Get an ICA File Through Citrix Web Interface
In Web Interface versions earlier than 4.5, you can obtain the ICA file contents using Internet Explorer by using the Save Target As… option when using a link in the applications page (or a similar operation in other Web browsers).

6. Click OK and then click Close.
Once this is done, each time the application launch is attempted (by clicking the application launch link), a dialogue displays asking if you want to open or save the ICA file. Clicking Open launches the application. Clicking Save allows you to save the ICA file to the desired location.
