Diagnose conditional authentication failures
Conditional authentication allows Citrix Cloud admins to direct end users to different Identity Providers (IdPs) during the Workspace login flow based on policy conditions you set. This means different end users will have varying levels of access verification based on risk factors established by the Administrator. For more information on Conditional authentication, see Conditional authentication.
Whenever any conditional authentication fails, you can use the transaction ID available in the failure message and search in the Monitor for the failure details. Monitor helps you to troubleshoot conditional authentication failure events by displaying failure reasons and conditional policies on the Monitor UI.
Viewing conditional authentication failures
To view the conditional authentication failure, follow these steps:
- Copy the transaction ID for the failed session that uses conditional authentication.
