-
SSL connections using Access Gateway Enterprise as the ICA proxy through the Web Interface fail, an SSL Error 85 occurs, and applications fail to launch. The issue occurs because the SSLSDK does not support the Certificate Policy Constraints extension in X509 certificates. This fix adds support for the X509 extension Certificate Policies. To enable this fix, you must set the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Citrix/SSL SDK/Policy
Name: EnableCertificatePolicyVerification
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1[#LA0419]

The following, redundant security message appears when performing a restricted user privilege (per-user) installation of the online plug-in from a Web Interface site:

[#LA1287]
-
When the Windows logon takes a long time due to, for example, Active Directory authentication, a full-screen published desktop does not display a status indicator to provide status feedback. This can be confusing to users. This fix modifies the behavior of the status indicator so that the indicator remains visible until the authentication completes.
[#LA1315]
-
In certain configurations, the CTRL + Space key combination fails to switch between IME language types.

[#LA1870]
-
This fix addresses an issue that prevents Desktop Viewer from launching in pass-through sessions and that in the process keeps the client from launching as well.
[#LA1895]
-

Name: SuppressDisconnectMessage
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1 (disable tool tip); 2 (disable error message); 3 (disable both)[#LA2040]
