Note:

You can manage your Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployment using two management consoles: Web Studio (web-based) and Citrix Studio (Windows-based). This article covers only Web Studio. For information about Citrix Studio, see the equivalent article in Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2212 or earlier.

You can use Web Studio to manage these settings:

Manage authentication

By default, users authenticate to Web Studio using their domain credentials (user name and password). You can enable integrated Windows authentication so that users can access Studio with their Windows credentials, using Kerberos or NTLM. Disabling the sign-in with domain credentials is not supported.

Important

Integrated Windows authentication does not work when Web Studio is configured as a proxy for Delivery Controllers.

After you enable the Integrated Windows authentication option, the next time your users log on, they are automatically signed in. As a user if you are unable to sign in automatically, follow these steps to configure your web browser to allow integrated Windows authentication.

For Google Chrome:

  1. From the Control Panel, select Internet Options.
  2. Select the Advanced tab.
  3. Select Enable Integrated Windows Authentication.
  4. Select the Security tab.
  5. Select Local Intranet > Sites > Advanced.

  6. In the Add this website to the zone box:

    • If the Web Studio and the Delivery Controller reside on the same server, type the URL of the host running the Web Studio.
    • If not, type a wildcard domain. Example: if the Delivery Controller is at ddc.domain.com, type *.domain.com.
  7. Click Add > Close

For Mozilla Firefox:

  1. From the browser, type about:config in the URL box.
  2. In the Search box, type network negotiate.
  3. Right-click network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and select Modify.

  4. In the Enter string value box:

    • If the Web Studio and the Delivery Controller reside on the same server, add a comma-separated list of URLs and/or aliases referencing the name of the server hosting the Web Studio.
    • If not, add the URLs this way. Example: if the Delivery Controller is at ddc.domain.com, type *.domain.com.

After you configure your browser, you can click Windows integrated sign-in on the sign-in page to try again.

When the Web Studio and the Delivery Controller are installed on different machines, for integrated Windows authentication to work, you need to enable Allow cross-origin access.

Follow these steps to enable Allow cross-origin access:

  1. Select the Allow cross-origin access checkbox.
  2. Add the URL of the Web Studio server to the allow list.

  3. In the Enter URL field, enter the URL. Click Add to add more if necessary.

    Note

    • The URL must follow the correct format:<scheme>://<hostname>. Make sure that it does not include any paths or trailing slashes.
    • IP addresses and FQDNS are supported. When adding a URL, ensure that it corresponds to how you access the Web Studio. For example, if accessing the Web Studio using an IP address, add the IP address-based URL to the list.
    • If you use a non-default port, be sure to include the port number.
  4. Click Add to add more if necessary.
  5. After you have finished, click Done to save and exit.

Set up the time zone

To customize the date and time format to suit your preferences, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to Web Studio and select Settings in the left pane.

  2. Locate the Date and time tile and click Edit to configure the following options:

    • Time format:

      • Select to display the time using a 12-hour clock (09:00pm, for example) or a 24-hour clock (21:00, for example).

    • Date format:

      • Configure the date format to match your preferences, such as yyyy/MM/dd.

    • Time zone:

      • UTC: Display the date and time in UTC throughout the user interface. Mousing over the date and time displays that information in your local time zone.

      • Local time zone: Display the date and time in your local time zone throughout the user interface. Mousing over the date and time displays that information in UTC.

Enable DNS resolution

To present DNS names instead of IP addresses in the ICA file, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to Web Studio and select Settings in the left pane.
  2. Turn on the Enable DNS resolution setting.

Set the inactivity timeout for the Studio console

You can set the inactivity duration after which administrators are automatically signed out of the Studio console.

  1. Sign in to Web Studio and select Settings in the left pane.
  2. Type a duration ranging from 10 minutes to 24 hours.
  3. To apply this setting, refresh the page or sign out and then sign back in.
