Symptoms
When using the ICA Client Object to programmatically make a connection to a published application, users are not able to reconnect to the Active session from another workstation.
The following reproduction steps illustrate this behavior:
- Go to page 262 of the ICA Client Object Programmer's Guide(Version 7).
- Copy the sample ActiveX from the programmer's guide and save it to an HTML file.
- Open the HTML file in Notepad and make the following changes:
tcpbrowseraddress value=x.x.x.xapplication value="notepad"change all the italicized double quotation marks ( " ) to straight double quotation marks (").
- Open the HTML file in a Web browser.
- Connect to the application.
- Go to another computer, launch Web Interface, and click Reconnect. A message appears on the right stating that there are no sessions to reconnect to.
Cause
The Workspace Control feature is only supported with Program Neighborhood Agent or Web Interface. It is not supported with Program Neighborhood or connections made programmatically using the ICA Client Object. The example launch described above is only launching an instance of the client engine (wfica32.exe) and connecting directly to a Citrix Presentation Server; it is not going to Web Interface (which is required for Workspace Control and why it is only supported with Program Neighborhood Agent or using a Web browser to contact a Web Interface page).
Resolution
Use the Program Neighborhood Agent User Interface or Web Client through a Web browser to log on to Web Interface.
Status
This is as designed.
