This Guide is available on the Client CD, and the latest version is also available from the Java Client area at the Citrix download site: http://www.citrix.com/download Usage Notes, Restrictions, and Known Problems ============================================= MacOS X Internet Explorer 5.1 Classes and ica files not loaded -------------------------------------------------------------- The ICA Java client cannot load when the Java archive files are hosted on a Web server that requires cookies or authentication before serving the files. Ensure that the web server does not require authentication to serve these files. This issue also affects the html help and .ica files. In particular, asp or jsp applications that manage session state using cookies will be affected. Cannot reconnect to a disconnected session from different machine using the same HTML Page ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When using the ICA Java Client with the status bar displayed, you may not be able to reconnect to a disconnected session from a different machine, even with the same HTML page. This happens because the ICA Java Client cannot reconnect to disconnected sessions of different dimensions (in pixels). The session size specified in the HTML page includes the status bar, the height of which changes when displayed on machines with different operating systems, Web browsers and fonts. The change in the size of the status bar therefore causes a change in the size of the session, even though the size specified in the HTML page remains the same. Status messages in Internet Explorer are not permanently displayed ------------------------------------------------------------------ When using Internet Explorer on Windows with Microsoft's Virtual Machine for Java, status messages will be displayed either in the web browser's status bar or (if present) in the ICA Java Client status bar. However, status messages displayed in the Web browser's status bar will not be permanently visible; instead, they will flash on and off as the mouse pointer enters and exits the applet. This means that indications of SSL/TLS encryption will not be always visible, and on some machines these messages may be impossible to see. To avoid this, either ensure that the Java Client status bar is used, or use the Sun Java Plugin.
