Citrix Secure Private Access™

Domain suffix for web applications

In scenarios where users enter short, internal host names in the browser (for example, sw or server001), the domain suffix feature automatically appends the DNS suffix and converts them into Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) using browser-managed DNS suffix policies instead of relying on the operating system’s DNS suffix configuration.

The DNS suffix feature is supported on both Windows and macOS platforms, and consistently applies across common URL entry formats, including:

  • sw
  • http://sw
  • https://sw/
  • sw/
  • http://sw/
  • https://sw/

Supported deployments: Secure Private Access service and hybrid deployments.

Supported platforms: Windows and macOS.
