Symptoms

Users connect Citrix ICA clients to a Windows Server 2008-based terminal server that has Citrix Presentation Server installed. However, the ICA clients may crash during the connection process.

Cause

The size of the public key that is used to encrypt Terminal Services Client Access Licenses (TS CAL) is increased from 512 bytes to 2,048 bytes. The terminal server does not negotiate with clients when it uses the new key size. Therefore, the Citrix Virtual Channel for older versions of ICA clients may fail.
