Hi,

I am using Netscaler VPX + AAA vserver for AD authentication at the Internet side of the network. All is fine except when we began to try to edit/open documents.

Clicking a document link in Chrome makes me download the file. That is acceptable, but with IE I expect the client to open the document in the client application - i.e. Word.

When Word opens then there are only two textboxes and a continue button.

I put this aside for a week and now I saved the document and realized that Word 2010 actually opened a webpage.

</form>

</script></span><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

</div>

</body>

I saw the reference to https://aaa.xxx.xxx.int/cgi/tm in it. I assume that the Office integration does not work correctly.

Does anyone know how to fix it??

We are using the Sharepoint Application template for Netscaler.

Thanks for comments

We had exactly the same problem with our Netscaler 9000 devices... we were able to open office docs in Web App, but then when trying to open them in full Office applications it failed.

There was a bug in the firmware of the Netscaler, which is now fixed in the latest 9.3 version (http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX128669)

AAA and Microsoft SharePoint
- You can now successfully download or edit documents from Microsoft SharePoint sites after authenticating through AAA.

Cheers

Dave,

this gives me hope, but.. we have Netscaler VPX (200) which has already this firmware version

NS9.3: Build 47.5.cl, Date Mar 25 2011

Does anyone know if the NS9.3 version for VPX has bugs, too?
