There were two new features that jumped out at me in the What’s New document RDP Launcher

I did a quick search over in the Juniper forums and found some reports that Host Checker wasn’t working properly with Windows 7 RC.

I did find it interesting that Internet Explorer 8 was only “compatible” with respect to a few of the features while Internet Explorer 7 was “qualified” with all features (review Juniper Secure Access 6.5 Supported Platforms document for specifics). There was no mention of Windows 7 which is due to be released October 22, 2009. This latest version of software now supports Windows Secure Application Manager (WSAM) when used on Windows XP 64-bit and Windows Vista 64-bit clients. While I have yet to deploy this new software release (I would be interested in hearing from those that have) I thought it warranted a new post.

The new release is important because it finally addresses a problem that was original documented on my blog in this post. Juniper recently released a new version of software for their SSL VPN (Secure Access) appliances.
