  To use this feature in offline mode, the user must have had logged on online at least once after it is configured.

• This feature does not apply to versions of the agent that are not configured in the Applications tab.

Limitations

• Under Username Format in STA, you can either select username@domain.com or domain.com\username. Accordingly, the user must enter the username in the selected format only while authenticating with WLA.

• If you are configuring WLA application sharing with the realming option in STA, then

  • If username@domain.com format is used to determine the realm in STA, do not select the Strip realm from UPN option in the WLA management console.

  • If domain.com\username format is used to determine the realm in STA, do not select the Strip NetBIOS prefix option in the WLA management console.
