MyWorkplace: macOS

This manual describes how to install MyWorkplace on macOS.

Step 1

Make sure you are connected to the internet. At Utrecht University, connect to the wireless network eduroam.

Go to this website for the latest version of the Citrix Workspace app.

Please note that ‘Add Account’ is not ticked.

Step 6

After a while the installation of Citrix Workspace is finished.

Click on ‘Close’.

Step 7

You’ll need to use a browser to use MyWorkplace. We advise using Firefox. If you haven’t installed it yet, it’s available for download here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

Do not use Safari because the Citrix Workspace App isn’t supported. This means you’ll be using MyWorkplace ‘light’ (HTML5) and this has limited functionality.

Also see the MyWorkplace FAQ.
Step 8

Open Firefox and visit myworkplace.uu.nl

Login using your Solis-id and password. Instead of your Solis-id, you can also use your UU email address (For example: j.a.jansen@students.uu.nl or j.a.bakker@uu.nl).

Step 9

Click on “Detect Receiver” (= Workspace App).

Step 10

Firefox wil ask you to start the Citrix Workspace app. Tick “remember my choice” and click on “Open”.

Step 11

When starting the Citrix Workspace for the first time, this popup might show. Click on “Open”.

You are now logged on.

Myworkplace defaults to “Favorites”. Click on “APPS”.

Step 13

This overview shows all available applications. Here you can start them by clicking their icon.
