Configure access to workspaces | Citrix Workspace
You know what a lot of people do when installing products. Most of the time we publish applications and desktops to StoreFront with little to no extra configuration.
I will describe some briefly below, beginning with Workspace Control. Workspace Control is a feature enabled by default that ensures as users move between devices the applications they are using follow them. Workspace Control enables a user to work within an application on one device, and then pick up that same session on another without having to restart their applications each time they log on to Receiver for Web using a different device.
If a user has a running session on one device, logs off Receiver for Web, moves to another device, logs on to Receiver for Web, the sessions will automatically open and display. If Workspace Control does not seem to be working in your environment, it can be because of one of the following reasons:.
The confiuration of Workspace Control for Receiver for Web can be done by editing the web. If Workspace Control is disabled, users can still manually open applications they have used on a previous device and the previous session will be restored providing the original session was disconnected and not logged off. You can also disable Workspace Control for specific desktops or applications.
To do so open PowerShell on a Delivery Controller. Run asnp citrix. Workspace Control would only work from the same endpoint in this case and not other endpoints. If a user has only one assigned Desktop, by default Receiver for Web will auto-launch the desktop once that user logs on to Receiver for Web.
To disable auto-launch, edit the web. If you keep auto-launch enabled, Receiver for Web must be placed within the users Trusted Sites or Intranet Sites zone to launch automatically. With Content Redirection, users local files are opened with subscribed applications through Citrix if configured. This means for example we can publish Adobe Reader through XenApp, configure the file extensions for.
This provides a nice way to provide automation through opening local files. Learn more. Follow, to receive updates on this topic. Sign in to follow this Followers 4.

When using the Citrix Workspace app for Windows, the following configurations allow you to access their hosted applications and desktops. This article discusses the tasks and considerations that are relevant for administrators of Citrix Workspace app for Windows. If an issue occurs with Citrix Workspace app in production, we can disable an affected feature dynamically in Citrix Workspace app even after the feature is shipped.
To do so, we use feature flags and a third-party service called LaunchDarkly. You do not need to make any configurations to enable traffic to LaunchDarkly, except when you have a firewall or proxy blocking outbound traffic. You can use this list to know that your firewall configurations are updated automatically in keeping with the infrastructure updates.
For details about the status of the infrastructure changes, see the LaunchDarkly Status page. Verify if the apps can communicate with the following services if you have split tunneling on the Citrix ADC set to OFF for the following services:. We recommend that you use the Group Policy Object administrative template to configure rules for:.
You can use the receiver. For domain policies, import the template file using the Group Policy Management console. Importing is useful when applying Citrix Workspace app settings to several different user devices throughout the enterprise. To modify on a single user device, import the template file using the local Group Policy Editor on the device.
The installation directory includes CitrixBase. See the following table for information about Citrix Workspace app template files and their respective locations.
Citrix recommends that you use the GPO template files provided with latest version of Citrix Workspace app. You can use. Add the CitrixBase. With this capability, administrators can easily deploy and manage required agents from a single management console.
Citrix Workspace app ensures to automatically update the agents whenever an update is available in the future. App Protection policies filter the access to required functions of the underlying operating system specific API calls required to capture screens or keyboard presses. App Protection policies provide protection even against custom and purpose-built hacker tools. However, as operating systems evolve, new ways of capturing screens and logging keys might emerge.
While we continue to identify and address them, we cannot guarantee full protection in specific configurations and deployments. The feature restricts the ability of clients to compromise with keylogging and screen capturing malware. App Protection prevents exfiltration of confidential information such as user credentials and sensitive information on the screen. The feature prevents users and attackers from taking screenshots and from using keyloggers to glean and exploit sensitive information.
App Protection requires that you install an add-on license on your License Server. A Citrix Virtual Desktops license must also be present. Two policies provide anti-keylogging and anti-screen-capturing functionality in a session. These policies must be configured through PowerShell. No GUI is available for the purpose. App Protection component is now installed by default during the Citrix Workspace app installation.
The Enable app protection check box that appears during the installation is replaced with Start App Protection after installation. If you do not enable this check box, App Protection automatically starts upon the first start of a protected resource or component for customers who have entitled to App Protection.
You can take a screenshot of the area outside the protected window. Previously, anti-screen capture and anti-keylogging capabilities were enforced by default for Citrix authentication and Citrix Workspace app screens. However, starting from , these capabilities are disabled by default and need to be configured using the Group Policy Object.
The expected behavior depends upon the method by which users access the StoreFront that has the protected resources. Starting from Citrix Workspace app for Windows release, you can view a notification when a possible attempt of screen capture is made on any protected resources. The notification appears only once per running instance of the screen capture tool.
The notification appears again if you relaunch the tool and attempt screen capture. For more information about the resources assigned, contact your system administrator. Behavior of apps that have the App Protection feature configured on the Controller:.
On an App Protection configured-Controller, if you try to launch an application that is protected, the App Protection starts automatically and protects the app. Starting with Version , the App Protection logs are collected as part of Citrix Workspace app logs. For more information about log collection, see Log collection. You do not need to install or use a third-party app to collect the App Protection logs specifically. However, DebugView can still be continued to be used for log collection.
The App Protection logs are registered to the debug output. To collect these logs, do the following:. From the example above, you can view the logs in log. To uninstall the App Protection component, you must uninstall Citrix Workspace app from your system. Restart the system for the changes to take effect. Application Categories allow users to manage collections of applications in Citrix Workspace app.
You can create application groups for applications shared across different delivery groups or used by a subset of users within delivery groups. For more information, see Create application groups in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation. This feature provides enhanced security while handling ICA files during a virtual apps and desktops session launch.
Citrix Workspace app lets you store the ICA file in the system memory instead of the local disk when you launch a virtual apps and desktops session. This feature aims to eliminate surface attacks and any malware that might misuse the ICA file when stored locally.
This feature is also applicable on virtual apps and desktops sessions that are launched on workspace for Web. When you sign in to the store through the browser, click Detect Workspace App.
You can take extra measures so that sessions are launched only using the ICA file stored on system memory. Use any of the following methods:. Run the PowerShell module. Log collection simplifies the process of collecting logs for Citrix Workspace app. The logs help Citrix to troubleshoot, and, in cases of complicated issues, provides support. HDX adaptive throughput intelligently fine-tunes the peak throughput of the ICA session by adjusting output buffers.
The number of output buffers is initially set at a high value. This high value allows data to be transmitted to the client more quickly and efficiently, especially in high latency networks.
Provides better interactivity, faster file transfers, smoother video playback, higher framerate, and resolution results in an enhanced user experience. Session interactivity is constantly measured to determine whether any data streams within the ICA session are adversely affecting interactivity. If that occurs, the throughput is decreased to reduce the impact of the large data stream on the session and allow interactivity to recover.
HDX adaptive throughput changes the output buffers by moving the mechanism from the client to the VDA. So, adjusting the number of output buffers on the client as described in CTX has no effect. For more information, see Adaptive transport section in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.
Doing so ensures that users can apply only administrator-specified settings on their systems. Specifically, you can:. You can hide specific user-configurable settings from the Advanced Preferences sheet by using the Citrix Workspace app Group Policy Object administrative template. To hide the settings:. You can hide the Reset Workspace option from the Advanced Preferences sheet only using the Registry editor.
The policy path for the Citrix Workspace Updates option is different from the other options present in the Advanced Preferences sheet. This feature is in Technical Preview. StoreFront to Workspace URL migration enables you to seamlessly migrate your end users from a StoreFront store to Workspace store with minimal user interaction.
Consider, all your end users have a StoreFront store storefront. When the end user launches the Citrix Workspace app, the Citrix Workspace store opens. The previously added StoreFront store storefront. Users can always switch back to the StoreFront store storefront.
Admins can control the removal of the StoreFront store storefront. The removal can be done through the global app config service. Configure the Workspace URL xyz. This field is optional. You can set the following value based on your requirement:.
If you have provided a past date, then the StoreFront store is removed immediately upon URL migration. If you have provided a future date, then the StoreFront store is removed on the set date. Users have a limited option to delay the transition up to three times. When delivering applications with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS, consider the following options to enhance the user experience:.
By default, Citrix Workspaces app allows you to select the applications to display in the Start menu. By simply adding a StoreFront account to Citrix Workspace app or configuring Citrix Workspace app to point to a StoreFront site, you can configure self-service mode.
The configuration allows users to subscribe to applications from the Citrix Workspace user interface. The enhanced user experience is similar to that of a mobile app store. By default, Citrix Workspace app allows users to select the applications they want to display in their Start menu. In self-service mode, you can configure mandatory, auto-provisioned, and featured app keyword settings as needed.
You can set up shortcuts in the Start menu and on the desktop from the StoreFront site. The following settings can be added in the web. Windows 8, 8. Instead, display the applications individually or under the root folder. In the web. Find this section by locating the opening tab:. For example:. In multiple server deployments, use only one server at a time to change the configuration of the server group. Ensure that the Citrix StoreFront management console is not running on any of the other servers in the deployment.
Once complete, propagate your configuration changes to the server group, so that the other servers in the deployment are updated. For more information, see StoreFront documentation. Citrix Workspace app can be configured to automatically place application and desktop shortcuts directly in the Start menu or on the desktop. However, this configuration is similar to the previous Workspace for Windows versions. However, release 4.
The functionality is useful in environments with a handful of applications that need to be displayed in consistent locations.
If RemoveappsOnLogoff and RemoveAppsonExit are enabled, and users are experiencing delays in app enumeration at every logon, use the following workaround to reduce the delays:. Editing the registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of the Registry Editor can be solved. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.
If you have dozens or even hundreds of apps, allow users to select the applications to add to Favorite and Start menu:. If a user has a family computer, you might not need or want app shortcuts at all. In such scenarios, the simplest approach is browser access; install Citrix Workspace app without any configuration and browse to workspace for web. You can also configure Citrix Workspace app for self-service access without putting shortcuts anywhere. If the user has only a few apps, put them all in the Start menu or on the desktop, or in a folder on the desktop.
If you want to set the location of shortcuts so every user finds them in the same place use XenApp per App Settings:. If it is, Citrix Workspace app subscribes the application and does not create a shortcut.
When the user starts the application from the Citrix Workspace app window, Citrix Workspace app starts the locally installed preferred application. If a user uninstalls a preferred application outside of Citrix Workspace app, the application is unsubscribed during the next Citrix Workspace app refresh. If a user uninstalls a preferred application from the Citrix Workspace app dialog, Citrix Workspace app unsubscribes the application but does not uninstall it. The keyword prefer is applied when Citrix Workspace app subscribes an application.
Adding the keyword after the application is subscribed has no effect. You can specify the prefer keyword multiple times for an application. Only one match is needed to apply the keyword to an application. The following patterns can be used in any combination:.
This feature is referred to as Local App Access. When the user starts the application from the Citrix Workspace app dialog, Citrix Workspace app starts the locally installed preferred application. If a user uninstalls a preferred application from the Citrix Workspace app, Citrix Workspace app unsubscribes the application but does not uninstall it.
The application name pattern matches any application with the specified application name in the shortcut file name. The application name can be a word or a phrase. Quotation marks are required for phrases. Matching is not allowed on partial words or file paths and is case-insensitive. The application name matching pattern is useful for overrides performed manually by an administrator.
The absolute path pattern matches the entire shortcut file path plus the entire application name under the Start menu. The Programs folder is a sub folder of the Start menu directory, so you must include it in the absolute path to target an application in that folder.
Quotation marks are required if the path contains spaces. The matching is case-sensitive. The absolute path matching pattern is useful for overrides implemented programmatically in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS. The relative path pattern matches the relative shortcut file path under the Start menu. The relative path provided must contain the application name and can optionally include the folders where the shortcut resides. Matching is successful if the shortcut file path ends with the relative path provided.
The relative path matching pattern is useful for overrides implemented programmatically. This feature lets you define a virtual monitor layout that applies to the remote desktop.
You can also split a single client monitor virtually into up to eight monitors on the remote desktop. You can configure the virtual monitors on the Monitor Layout tab in the Desktop Viewer. There, you can draw horizontal or vertical lines to separate the screen into virtual monitors. The screen is split according to specified percentages of the client monitor resolution.
After applying a virtual monitor layout, resize or reconnect the session. This configuration applies only to full-screen, single-monitor desktop sessions, and does not affect any published applications. This configuration applies to all subsequent connections from this client. Starting from Citrix Workspace app for Windows , virtual display layout is also supported for full-screen and multi-monitor desktop sessions.
Virtual display layout is enabled by default. In case this limit is exceeded, the virtual display layout is ignored and not applied to any session monitor. Use the session prelaunch feature to reduce application launch time during normal or high traffic periods, thus providing users with a better experience. The prelaunch feature allows to create a prelaunch session. Prelaunch session is created when a user logs on to Citrix Workspace app, or at a scheduled time if the user has signed in.
The prelaunch session reduces the launch time of the first application. The default application ctxprelaunch. For more information, see session prelaunch and session linger guidance in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops article titled Manage delivery groups.
Session prelaunch is disabled by default. The default setting, null, means that prelaunch is disabled. If the client machine has been configured to support Domain Passthrough SSON authentication, prelaunch is automatically enabled. You cannot customize the prelaunch feature using the receiver. However, you can change the prelaunch configuration by modifying registry values.
Registry values can be modified during or after Citrix Workspace app for Windows installation. The time hour format and days of a week for the scheduled prelaunch entered in the following format:.
The bidirectional content redirection policy allows you to enable or disable client to host and host to client URL redirection. Server policies are set in Studio, and client policies are set from the Citrix Workspace app Group Policy Object administration template. However, we recommend that you use bidirectional content redirection for domain-joined Windows clients.
To enable bidirectional content redirection using the GPO administrative template:. Use Group Policy Object administrative template configuration only for a first-time installation of Citrix Workspace app for Windows. In the Published Application or Desktop name field, provide the name of the resource used to launch the redirected URL. The value must match a published application name.
To enable bidirectional content redirection, run the redirector. Bidirectional content redirection allows you to configure URLs to redirect from client to server and from server to client using policies on the server and the client. Server policies are set on the Delivery Controller and client policies on Citrix Workspace app.
To register Google Chrome browser to bidirectional URL redirection, run the following command from the Citrix Workspace app installation folder:. When using these commands on Chrome browsers, the bidirectional content redirection extension installs automatically from the Chrome Web Store.
To unregister Google Chrome browser from bidirectional URL redirection, run the following command from the Citrix Workspace app installation folder:. For more information about browser content redirection, see Browser content redirection in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation. If you have multiple Desktop Viewer windows, by default the desktops that are not active are dimmed. If users want to view multiple desktops simultaneously, information on them might be unreadable. You can disable the default behavior and prevent the Desktop Viewer window from dimming by editing the Registry editor.
Editing the registry incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your Operating system. An entry exists if the Desktop Viewer has been used on the device:. Before using these keys, check whether the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS administrator has set a policy for this feature.
If no entries are specified or the entry is set to 0, the Desktop Viewer window is dimmed. If multiple entries are specified, the following precedence is used. The first entry in this list and its value determine whether the window is dimmed:.
The Citrix Ready workspace hub combines digital and physical environments to deliver apps and data within a secure smart space. The complete system connects devices or things , like mobile apps and sensors, to create an intelligent and responsive environment.
