Help with installing Java - java.com
To run DHS Workspace, your web browser requires Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
If you are unable to access
Workspace, it may be because you do not have Java installed.

Citrix is software that enables you to connect to applications that are installed on a remote server. Using Citrix, any application that you connect to looks and behaves as though it was installed on the computer you are using. It is like "remote controlling" the application from your own computer.
When you have Citrix installed, you can log into Workspace and access your business applications using the 'Citrix applications' portlet.
If you want to access applications using Citrix and are receiving errors, please download and install the recommended Citrix clients below. For assistance with installing or using Citrix, please contact: Support
