Remote access on Mac
Follow these steps if you have a personal Mac device, and want to connect to a virtual desktop (VDI), or to a desktop PC which is located in the Fidelity office.
You will be required to install three items:
- the latest Citrix Workspace app,
- the Zoom VDI plugin, and
- an Endpoint Analysis software;
You will also need to use Microsoft multi-factor authentication, to ensure you are who you say you are.
We recommend using Google Chrome, or the latest version of Microsoft Edge, when connecting to https://fidelityinternational.com/remote/. During your setup through these browsers, you will be able to enable your VDIs to open automatically by clicking on them from a device list available upon login, rather than downloading a file which you will have to open separately. The Safari browser does not allow you to set your VDIs to open automatically so you will have to manually open the downloaded file each time you connect.
Things to check before you get started
First, ensure your personal Mac has up-to-date anti-virus software which is approved by Fidelity. Without this, you will not be able to connect. Click here for the list of supported anti-virus software.
You will be required to confirm your identity through a form of multi-factor authentication. Please ensure you have this, such as the Microsoft Authenticator app, set up beforehand. Find out more about this, and other initial setup steps, in our new joiner guide.
Install the Endpoint Analysis software
In your internet browser, go to https://fidelityinternational.com/remote or from here click on the Fidelity logo in the top left to bring you back to the landing page.
Select the region closest to your current location.
On your first visit, the website will check for the Citrix Gateway Endpoint Analysis software. This checks that your system is safe to use for remote access. This takes around 15 seconds.
Note that, if you click 'Skip' you will be required to retry by clicking 'Try Again'.
Once the timer has elapsed, a 'Download' button will appear. Click this download button to get the installer.
Once downloaded, locate the download file using Windows Explorer and open it (or click 'Open File' on the file link at the bottom of your browser screen).
Select the ‘Install Citrix Endpoint Analysis Plug-in’ button. Then, click ‘Continue’ to begin the installation process.
The Citrix Gateway Endpoint Analysis software will then proceed to install.
Once the install has completed, close your internet browser to ensure the install has completed fully,
