ACHTUNG:

Das Update von Firmware Versionen kleiner, oder gleich 12.1.59.x, bzw. 13.0.64.35 führt dazu, dass der SSO für viele Anwendungen nicht mehr funktioniert. Vor dem Update sollte daher unbedingt folgender Citrix eDocs Artikel gelesen werden: Enable SSO for Basic, Digest, and NTLM authentication (citrix.com)
