What’s new

What’s new in 2110

Version 2110 of the Linux VDA includes the following new features and enhancements:

Support for SUSE 15.3 and SUSE 15.2

We have added SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3 (SUSE 15.3) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP2 (SUSE 15.2) as supported distributions. For more information, see System requirements.

HDX webcam video compression support for SUSE 15.3, SUSE 15.2, and SUSE 12.5

Users of video conferencing applications running in SUSE 15.3, SUSE 15.2, and SUSE 12.5 sessions can now use their webcams with HDX webcam video compression. For more information, see HDX webcam video compression.

FAS support for MCS-created VMs using PBIS

You can now use Federated Authentication Service (FAS) to authenticate users logging on to an MCS-created Linux VDA that was joined to a Windows domain using PowerBroker Identity Services (PBIS). For more information, see Configure Federated Authentication Service and Enable FAS on an MCS-created VM.

Two environment variables are added to ctxfascfg.sh

We have added the following variables to ctxfascfg.sh:

• CTX_FAS_KDC_HOSTNAME: Specifies the host name of the Key Distribution Center (KDC) when you select PBIS.
• CTX_FAS_PKINIT_KDC_HOSTNAME: Specifies the PKINIT KDC host name, which equals to CTX_FAS_KDC_HOSTNAME unless otherwise specified.

For more information, see Run ctxfascfg.sh.

Session launch with credentials different from those used to log on to Citrix Workspace app

After you log on to Citrix Workspace app, you can use different credentials to launch Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sessions. To enable this feature, run the following command on your Linux VDA:

/opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/ctxreg create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\WinStations\tcp" -t "REG_DWORD" -v "fPromptForDifferentUser" -d "0x00000001" --force
