Automatic routing of ICA traffic through the Access Gateway ICA proxy for optimal user experience. Automatic start-up of a VPN tunnel when a user logs on. This feature requires that you disable the Single Sign-On with Windows setting on the Access Gateway. Support for Access Gateway SmartAccess controls.Improved logon and logoff operations: Users are prompted to log on to Receiver only when a logon is required.
