Unauthenticated sessions

Use the information in this article to configure unauthenticated sessions. No special settings are required when installing the Linux VDA to use this feature.

Note:

When configuring unauthenticated sessions, consider that session prelaunch is not supported. Session prelaunch is also not supported on Citrix Workspace app for Android.

Create an unauthenticated store

To support an unauthenticated session on the Linux VDA, create an unauthenticated store using StoreFront.

Enable unauthenticated users in a Delivery Group

After creating an unauthenticated store, enable unauthenticated users in a Delivery Group to support an unauthenticated session. To enable unauthenticated users in a Delivery Group, follow the instructions in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.

Set the unauthenticated session idle time

An unauthenticated session has a default idle timeout of 10 minutes. This value is configured through the registry setting AnonymousUserIdleTime. Use the ctxreg tool to change this value. For example, to set this registry setting to five minutes:

sudo /opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/ctxreg update -k  "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix"  -v AnonymousUserIdleTime  -d 0x00000005
