Citrix Cloud Updates

When creating Azure catalogs in the Full Configuration interface, you can select shared images from other tenants (shared through the Azure Compute Gallery). This feature requires that you provide shared tenant and subscription information for associated host connections.

Citrix Analytics Add-On for Splunk Now Available on Splunk Cloud Platform Splunk Integration for Citrix Analytics utilizes Citrix Analytics Add-On for Splunk to connect to the analytics environment and bring in business critical data into your Splunk Environment. With the latest version Add-on version 2.1.2, customers have the flexibility to choose between Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud while considering the deployment of our add-on to facilitate Splunk integration. For more information, see Splunk Integration.

Support for policy global action - Notify End User  The Policies & Actions feature in Citrix Analytics now supports the Notify End User Global Action which can be paired with built-in or custom risk indicator trigger(s). This action can be utilized for a variety of compliance use cases such as notifying the users for unsanctioned application usage, or alerting for suspicious behavior on their Citrix accounts without taking any disruptive actions.  For more information, see Notify End User.

In Azure environments, you can now use private endpoints to restrict access to disk contents. This implementation helps you to securely access data over a private link.

Leverage single sign-on (SSO) into virtual desktops that are Azure AD (AAD) joined, or hybrid AAD joined, when using Azure AD as your IdP.

With this feature, you can now enable AWS AssumeRole based hypervisor access. AssumeRole uses a set of temporary security credentials to access AWS resources.

Citrix Device Posture Client will now be built into Citrix Workspace Application (CWA)

Citrix Secure Access client now supports single sign-on for the Workspace URL when already logged in via Citrix Workspace app. This SSO functionality enhances the user experience by avoiding multiple authentications.

Previously, you could schedule image updates by waiting for the MCS machine's next reboot, or by triggering an immediate reboot to all VMs in the catalog. With this feature, you can now create a reboot schedule for a desired catalog or VM(s) to occur once on a desired date and time in an effort to facilitate scheduled MCS image updates. 

With this feature, when creating a machine catalog, VMs are not provisioned at catalog creation time, but rather the first time VMs are powered on. For non-persistent catalogs, the OS disk is deleted when the VM power state is set to Off, and recreated when the VM is powered up. The AWS on-demand provisioning feature reduces your storage costs and provides faster catalog creation.
