Known Issues and Limitations 

The following lists known issues which are still outstanding in this release: 

Junos Pulse 2.0 

 

When using a Smartcard, the user is prompted by either the Smartcard provider or Microsoft Base Smartcard 
Crypto Provider CSP for the PIN/Password. This prompt is not managed by Pulse and may remain displayed 
after a Pulse connection is disconnected or the Pulse process has exited. (549408) 

 

When Custom SSL Cipher Selection is chosen on the IC Series device and AES alone is selected, Pulse 
connections from XP clients will not work.  This is a limitation due to the cryptography available from the 
Windows XP operating system. (516592,555704) 

 

Infranet Enforcer "deny" messages are currently not displayed in the Junos Pulse user interface. (488619) 

 

Pulse UI does not display correctly in High Contrast graphics settings. (490249) 

 

The F1 key does not display the Table of contents help window. (484222) 

 

Disabling "Allow user to override connection policy" results in a user not being able to connect if the 
connection policy indicates a connection should not be made. (498065) 

 

Disabling Junos Pulse Split Tunneling on a Secure Access device may impact the ability for Pulse to evaluate 
Location Policies associated with the physical interface on the endpoint. (506100) 

 

When using a packet capture / monitor tool like Wireshark or NetMon (on XP), certain IP packets sent may 
appear to be sent 'twice'.   This is most often observed when the network capture mechanism enables 
"Promiscuous Mode" on the network adapter. (514609)   

 

Trailing white space is not pruned when entering user credentials within Pulse. (513433) 

 

If Junos Pulse is uninstalling while connected to an IC or SA device, the Pulse user session on the IC or SA 
device may not be deleted immediately. The session will be removed from the device when the user session's 
Heart Beat interval on the IC Series device or Idle Timeout on the SA expires. (488572) 

 

If the Pulse UI displays "Connect Requested" connection status for an extended period of time and no 
progress is shown in establishing the connection, clicking disconnect followed by connect should allow the 
connection to proceed. (514890) 

 

The Pulse UI may not display correctly on screen resolutions of 800 x 600 or less. (524205) 

 

Pulse does not support certificate based authentication with certificates created or imported with "enable 
strong private key protection" feature. (518468) 

 

Pulse may take 2-3 minutes to reconnect to an active node after a manual vip-failover occurs. (518027) 

Installation and Configuration 

 

The Junos Pulse configuration file cannot be downloaded from an IC or SA Series device when used with
