I had always the same problem. I have read that the https problem is resolved installing the crypt32 package (winetricks). But I have been unable to test it. Explorer 7 and Explorer 8 fails to install. Explorer 6 installs sucessfully (with crypt32) but crashes with the SSL problem that you mention. I have read some report that may be for Explorer 8 it can help wine mono/wine gecko native. May be I can try to compile them. > It seems like the previous ICA client didn't have nearly as much kruft and > actually worked. I know I've used it at some point on NetBSD.

It is still in pkgsrc : net/citrix_ica version 10.6.115659. It worked until my company changed the certificates to godaddy. I have been unable to configure the SSL certificates. I am thinking that it can be the SSL client doesn't understand the new certificates. Can it be? -Swift On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 11:31 AM, Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia <joseyl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I need to use Internet Explorer for access a web from my company: > Siebel software. > > It uses Active X and it only works with Internet Explorer.
