Hi @Stephan Maass ,
Which version of Confluence are you using?
This error is to be expected, Companion runs a local websocket server which is used in Confluence Server 6.11 - 7.2 (and Confluence Cloud). This method of connecting is incompatible with Citrix virtual desktop environments. Since Confluence 7.3, Confluence connects to Companion in a completely different way (using a custom URI handler) which is compatible with Citrix virtual environments. If you are using Confluence 7.3+ then the Companion error can be safely ignored. Companion 1.2.2 is backwards compatible which is why we still attempt to run that local server.
Regards,
Alex (Developer at Atlassian)
Hi Alex. Thanks so much. I already thought could be something in this direction. We run the newest version of Confluence, so it works.
Do you have a way to suppress this message or a version of the companion app without the backwards compatibility?
Regards, Timo

Hi @Stephan Maass ,
At this stage we do not ship a separate Companion version without backwards compatibility. We do not have a configuration option to disable the local websocket server, it is a great idea so I have created a suggestion here.
Please vote on the linked Jira ticket to raise it to team's attention.
Also just noting that although the error message is annoying, it does not have any negative consequences if you are not using older versions of Confluence.
Thanks!

Hi Community! We're thrilled to share that Team Calendars for Confluence is now a built-in feature for Confluence Data Center releases 7.11 and beyond. A long time favorite, Team Cale...
