Mac users out there have long been asking for and waiting for a rich and secure remote access experience with Access Gateway solutions. Now the wait is over. Mac users can now download the Access Gateway plug-in for Mac from MyCitrix.
Access Gateway team has made available Mac OX X plug-in for Access Gateway 4.6 Standard Edition and Access Gateway 9.1 Enterprise Edition:
- The user experience of the plug-in conforms to the native Mac experience, providing rich user experience.
- Mac users can securely connect to their remote applications, leveraging pre- and post-authentication endpoint scans to confirm to their corporate security policies. For stronger security, when the remote Mac user logs off, the plug-in also destroys any session data (cache, cookies, etc) on the client.
- With globalization features, the plug-in brings this new experience to English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese users.
If you are a Mac user, I encourage you to go to the downloads section on MyCitrix and select Citrix Access Gateway from the drop-down menu of 'Search Downloads by Product", then find "Access Gateway Plug-in for Mac OS X, Version 1.0.2.23" under the Clients section.
If you are using this new plug-in, please share your experience with me and what you would like to see next.

From what I understand, all 10.6 versions of MacOS client machines and laptops are still 32-bit by default Users have to manually change their kernel to 64-bit if they want to run a 64-bit kernel. Only MacOS Server machines ship with the 64-bit kernel enabled by default. Also, users can run 64-bit applications on their Mac while keeping a 32-bit kernel, so the benefits of switching the kernel to the 64-bit kernel on a MacOS client machine are not real clear to me. The only practical reason is when you have more than 32GB of RAM on your system.
I would be very interested in knowing more about the scenarios where you find not having 64-bit Mac very limiting.
