15.1 | 1 | The Rangee Browser can start a Citrix session fully automatically - without any further user interaction and, optionally, without a visible browser window. Compared to a connection in ICA client mode (“Appliance”, “StoreFront”, or “Selfservice”), this approach provides a significant speed advantage until the session starts (approx. 10 seconds via the browser versus approx. 25 seconds in the other modes). |

15.1 | 10 | Access permissions for redirected drives are unfortunately not stored persistently by the Citrix Workspace App on Linux and are deleted when a session ends. |
| 11 | As a result, the security prompt must be confirmed again in every new session when accessing a client drive. | ||
| 12 | Unfortunately, we have no influence over this behavior. | ||
