ICA File Parameters using Secure ICA

[jc64]

I have a server running WTSE/MF1.8 and Secure ICA. We have several applications published and accessible through our website through ICA files on the web server. Things have worked well for a year until a new business partner has come online and can't connect to our apps. The issue boils down to some of the settings in the ICA file. My file looks like this:
[WFClient]
Version=2
TcpBrowserAddress=192.168.1.1 (not the real address)

[ApplicationServers]
MS Access=

[MS Access]
Address=MS Access
InitialProgram=#MS Access
<snip>

If I insert 192.168.1.1 in the &quot;Address=&quot; field instead of the application name, it works just fine. It appears to be an ICA browsing issue according to Citrix doc. CTX075552. My questions:
Will I compromise security if I put the IP address in the Address field?
Why wasn't it set up that way in the first place? (inherited system)

Thanks in Advance,
John

If you can only connect via IP address and not by PubApp name, then in all likelihood you have some kind of DNS issue.

If other clients are OK, then it must be something in the new client's settings.

Check that fully qualified names are listed where appropriate, and/or IP addresses of DNS servers.

I hope this helps
