>>>Very close to the actual. What Citrix does is 'build' a new Windows virtual PC with the VFP application as part of the installation. This is defined in a profile that is used by Citrix. This profile is assigned to users. Citrix manages the license requirement for concurrent users. So in your diagram the VM is dynamically created and started by Citrix and has the VFP application. This is then presented to the user like a remote connection.

>Short story: it handles it just as though the user were logging into the app directly on the server. However: you can have multiple servers, and the user won't necessarily be connected to the same server on the next login. So you have to store the entries in the User Profile, which follows the user around. https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX120285 That said, it's a lot easier to store user settings in data. What if the next customer is using ZenServer -- then you'd have to know whether the two worked the same with profiles, etc.
