| 1 | Bloomberg keyboard and finger print scanner not redirecting to Citrix session. | Redirection of this device is not fully supported but there is a method to follow that can be tried to get it working, as explained in the CTX article. | https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX227075 | |
| 2 | Windows Mac users connect to NetScale full VPN, they cannot reach external websites. Split DNS is not working. | This is by design. The Mac VPN client does not support split DNS so all DNS requests are sent to NetScaler for resolution. If NetScaler cannot resolve the domain name then users will get an invalid response. This issue will be fixed under an existing enhancement request. | https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX225297 | |

We had received reports that Mac users could not download Receiver/Workspace App/CWA after visiting our Receiver for Web site. We have StoreFront (installed from 1912 LTSR CU1 CVAD ISO) configured so that it directs Windows and Macs to download the client from the 'Citrix Website' from the pull-down in StoreFront / Manage Receiver for Web Sites / Configure / Deploy Citrix Receiver/Workspace App. (We don't currently offer the client locally from our own servers nor specify a specific HTTP location on our own servers or on Citrix's.)

The non-working link offered to client was http://downloadplugins.citrix.com/MAC/CitrixWorkspaceApp.dmg ('MAC' is in uppercase)
Citrix Receiver App For Macbook Air
The link that works, and the one we manually configured in StoreFront, is http://downloadplugins.citrix.com/Mac/CitrixWorkspaceApp.dmg
I may be wrong, but I'll assume that Citrix made a change on their web servers that made their links case-sensitive because we haven't changed anything on our end lately.
