Feature flag
This article discusses feature flag management and the various Citrix Workspace apps that support feature flags.
Feature flag management
Citrix is changing the way it manages feature flags, allowing access to preview features and enabling dynamic management of features in production. Through this improvement, Citrix aims to deliver an optimal user experience by efficiently managing feature flags and minimizing disruptions. To ensure optimal functioning of features which are under feature flags, you need to enable traffic to the URL features.netscalergateway.net.
If any issues arise, the feature can be quickly disabled without impacting the overall product experience, ensuring a seamless and reliable experience for our customers.
No configurations are needed to enable traffic for feature management, except when a firewall or proxy is blocking outbound traffic. In such cases, you need to enable traffic using specific URLs or IP addresses, depending on your policy requirements.
Note:
If using NetScaler Gateway with split tunneling OFF and split DNS OFF, ensure that NetScaler can resolve and connect to
features.netscalergateway.neton port 443.
The following table calls out the various apps that support feature flags and the release versions in which feature flags were introduced in these apps.
