Authenticate 编辑

Starting from Citrix Workspace app 2012, you can view the authentication dialog inside Citrix Workspace app and store details on the sign-in screen. This provides better experiences.

Authentication tokens are encrypted and stored so that you don’t need to reenter credentials when your system or session restarts.

Note:

This authentication enhancement is available only in cloud deployments.

Prerequisite:

Install the libsecret library.

This feature is disabled by default.

To enable this enhancement:

1. Locate the configuration file: $ICAROOT/config/AuthManConfig.xml.
2. Set the value of AuthManLiteEnabled to True.

Authentication enhancement for Storebrowse

Note:

Starting with version 2205, this feature is generally available for Citrix Workspace app.

Starting with version 2203, the authentication dialog is present inside Citrix Workspace app and the store details are displayed on the logon screen for a better user experience. The authentication tokens are encrypted and stored so that you don’t need to reenter credentials when your system or session restarts.

The authentication enhancement supports storebrowse for the following operations:

• Storebrowse -E: Lists the available resources.
• Storebrowse -L: Launches a connection to a published resource.
• Storebrowse -S: Lists the subscribed resources.
• Storebrowse -T: Terminates all sessions of the specified store.
• Storebrowse -Wr: Reconnects the disconnected yet active sessions of the specified store. The [r] option reconnects all the disconnected sessions.
• storebrowse -WR: Reconnects the disconnected yet active sessions of the specified store. The [R] option reconnects all the active and disconnected sessions.
• Storebrowse -s: Subscribes the specified resource from a given store.
• Storebrowse -u: Unsubscribes the specified resource from a given store.
• Storebrowse -q: Launches an application using the direct URL. This command works only for StoreFront stores.

Note:

• You can continue to use the remaining storebrowse commands as used earlier (using AuthMangerDaemon).
• The authentication enhancement is applicable for cloud deployments only.
• With this enhancement, the persistent login feature is supported.

Authentication enhancement for Storebrowse configuration

By default, the authentication enhancement feature is disabled.

If the gnome-keyring isn’t available, the token is stored in the selfservice process memory.

To enforce storage of the token in memory, disable gnome-keyring, using the following steps:

1. Navigate to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/config/AuthmanConfig.xml.

2. Add the following entry:

   <GnomeKeyringDisabled>true</GnomeKeyringDisabled>
