Re: BPCS C/S in a Citrix environment

I've been waiting for some more responses to Peter's question.  We are on
4.05, and use Citrix both within a VPN environment (for dial in access) and
outside VPN (in the office).  Each user is assigned a unique workstation
ID, and we have no problems with this.  Does this work differently in a
client server environment (just in case we ever get there!)?

To alleviate your concerns with the IP Address I would recommend that you
switch your Citrix environment to a VPN environment.  A VPN environment
would permit each client to have their own IP address via DHCP settings of
the ISP.
