Is your Citrix application on the same machine as your Ingres DBMS?

We have OpenRoad 4.0 applications on Windows-Terminal-Servers (with
Citrix and without Citrix).
I remember that it was *not* necessary to put the users into Windows
admin group.
If terminal server and DBMS are on two separate machines: create a
global vnode entry on the terminal server that points to DBMS server.
Use netutil for this.
If terminal server and DBMS are on the same machine: database owner (in
our case: ingres) will be able to connect to your Ingres DBs without any
configuration. All other (operating system) users have to be added as
Ingres users with accessdb.
