Citrix Receiver

Access Gateway 5.0.4 provides support for Citrix Receiver for Windows 3.0, Citrix Receiver 2.0, and Citrix Receiver 2.1 on Windows-based and Mac OS X user devices:

  1. If users log on to Citrix Receiver with the Access Gateway Plug-in and enter their credentials, if the plug-in upgrades from Version 5.0.3 to a more recent build, occasionally the upgrade stalls and the Citrix Receiver icon is disabled. If users end the Receiver.exe process with the Windows Task Manager and restart Citrix Receiver, the upgrade succeeds.

    [From AG_5_0_4][#261108]

  2. If users log on with Citrix Receiver for Windows 3.0 by using Internet Explorer 9 64-bit, Access Gateway does not detect Citrix Receiver. Users can see published applications if they click Skip to Logon. When users start a published application, users receive the prompt "Do you want to open or save launch.ica from Web Interface address."

    [From AG_5_0_3][#46228]

  3. If you push the option to uninstall Citrix Receiver for Windows 3.0 from Merchandising Server over a VPN connection, the Access Gateway Plug-in disconnects and the Receiver closes.

    [From AG_5_0_3][#47936]

    [From AG_5_0_2][#45881]

  5. If you schedule an upgrade of the Access Gateway Plug-in in Merchandising Server that is a later build of Version 5.0, the Access Gateway Plug-in does not upgrade in Citrix Receiver. For example, Version 5.0.0.120 is installed on the user device and you schedule 5.0.0.125 to upgrade the plug-in. This issue occurs because Citrix Receiver detects that Version 5.0 is already installed on the user device.

    [From AG_5_0][#44686]

Issues Resolved in This Maintenance Release

Access Gateway

  1. If an application name contains an ampersand (&), when users log on using clientless access with Internet Explorer and the logon point Web address is not in the trusted sites list, the application fails. If you change the ampersand to a dash in the application name, the application opens.

    [From AG_5_0_4][#047654]

  2. If you configure an RSA SecurID profile, if the RSA server is unavailable and then available again, user authentication may subsequently fail.

    [From AG_5_0_4][#252492]

  2. If you configure an LDAP authentication profile, you use Active Directory as the directory service, and you enable single sign-on, when users try to access an application, authentication occurs on the domain of the server on which Access Controller is installed rather than on the domain of the LDAP server. In this case, authentication fails.

    [From AG_5_0_4][#253907]

  3. If you configure a policy on Access Controller to enable access to file shares on network-attached storage (NAS) devices, users can open the share in the root directory of an NAS device, but the link to upload a file or create a folder is disabled.

    [From AG_5_0_4][#261759]

  4. If you configure RADIUS authentication and authorization by using the Network Policy Server (NPS) on Windows Server 2008 and you configure a network policy with a user group that contains localized characters, and then create a logon point on Access Controller for the RADIUS type with RADIUS authorization, the following occurs: When you configure a Web resource and an access policy for the localized user group, when users type Japanese characters that correspond to the group name, authentication succeeds and they can logon successfully, but the published Web resource does not appear.

    [From AG_5_0_4][#264882]

  5. If you configure RADIUS authentication and authorization by using the Network Policy Server (NPS) on Windows Server 2008 and you configure a network policy with a user group that contains localized characters, and then create a logon point on Access Controller for the RADIUS type with RADIUS authorization, the following occurs: When you configure a Web resource and an access policy for the localized user group, when users who belong to that group type Spanish, French, or German foreign language characters in the group name, authentication fails.

    [From AG_5_0_4][#264928]
