Citrix Endpoint Management supports authentication with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) credentials through NetScaler Gateway. This authentication method is available only for users enrolling in MAM through Citrix Secure Hub.

Prerequisites

To configure Citrix Endpoint Management to use Azure AD through NetScaler Gateway as an identity provider (IdP) for devices enrolled with MAM, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • Configure Citrix Endpoint Management with Azure AD through Citrix Cloud as IdP for devices enrolled with MDM. For more information about configuring Azure AD for MDM, see Authentication with Azure Active Directory through Citrix Cloud.
  • Connect Azure AD to Citrix Cloud. For more information, see Connect Azure Active Directory to Citrix Cloud.
  • Enable the following relevant feature flags depending on the platform respectively:
    • iOS:
      • iOS-V3Form-MAM
      • iOS-SAMLAuth-MAM
    • Android:
      • Android-V3Form-MAM
      • Android-SAMLAuth-MAM

    Note:

    To enable the relevant feature flag in your environment, fill out the Podio form.

  • For Android, enable Android Enterprise.

    Note:

    This feature is not tested or verified under legacy Android Device Administrator (DA) mode. This mode is not supported.
