I am sure this must have been covered as part of 3.0.6. Will go through 
internal escalation process if a case has been logged. 
However I will get this checked out for ACS 4x version and will post the 
results.

Forward from the user list, hoping to catch the Citrix test engineering team's 
attention.  Is this a tested scenario?

Andreas, 

The open source community doesn't support the Citrix version 3.0.6. You need to 
report this via your Citrix Support contract. Sounds like this could be a bug. 

Community - this could be a possible issue in 4.0.0 / 4.0.1. I don't know if 
this test case has been explored.

Thanks,
