how to get client host name in citrix farm at AX 2009

Posted on by Jun Zeng 35

 host = System.Net.Dns::GetHostByAddress(Request.ServerVariables.Item("REMOTE_HOST"))

 

This line of coding is for .net.

I tried in x++ but failed, because AX webRequest doesn't have serverVariables method...

I google everywhere but didn't find solution.

My company would have to find 350 terminal computer host name when client session. Without citrix, it is easy to use xSession or winAPI. But in Citrix farm, those methods would bring citrix server name back, instead of true phycially client name in networks...

If anyone has this experience, highly appreciate your help. Right now, we have to unique terminal AXC file and point 350 AXC client configuration file per client through 'sysStartUpCmd' to bring that termianl ID back.. We want to directly use client host name.

please reply to sisbio@hotmail.com if you have... it is really emergency call.

Thanks,

    As far as I know, Request is an ASP.NET object filled from HTTP headers. If you ask about AX client, you don't have any HTTP requests available, therefore the same approach is not possible.

    Try to look at Windows' environmental variable called "CLIENTNAME". If it doesn't help, search Web for WFAPI or such things (I don't have any own experience with it).

    Thank you so much for your hints. Fellow your hints, I found this

    community.citrix.com/.../How+to+get+Client+IP+and+hostname+using+Citrix+WFAPI+SDK

    Creating DLL and call this DLL in AX application to bring that client host computer name might be solution for us.

    And a developer answered and said that GOAL::APP might work to identify local computer name from all IP address in citrix server...

    Not sure yet. Now give it a try...Will back here if I can make it happen and post coding if future other developer need this only for Axapta...
