Session experience

DPI scaling

Citrix Workspace app for HTML5 supports DPI scaling for app and desktop sessions on a single monitor.

Citrix Workspace app for HTML5 lets you set the VDA resolution on the monitors that have a high pixel ratio. The DPI scaling feature is disabled by default for app and desktop sessions.

For Citrix Workspace app 1908 for HTML5 and earlier, go to the session toolbar and then select Toolbar > More > Preferences > Display Resolution to set the resolution for app and desktop sessions. The correct resolution is set on the VDA.

For Citrix Workspace app 1909 for HTML5 and later, go to the session toolbar and then select Toolbar > More > Display Resolution > Device Pixel Ratio Scaling to set the resolution for app and desktop sessions. The correct resolution is set on the VDA.

When you set the resolution correctly on the VDA, the blurry text becomes crisper.

Known limitations in the feature

• The High DPI scaling feature is disabled on touch-screen devices.

Session reliability

The session reliability feature ensures that sessions remain active on the user’s screen even if there is a disruption in network connectivity. Users continue to see the application they’re using until network connectivity resumes.

When connectivity is lost, the session remains active on the server. To alert the user about the connectivity issue, the display becomes unresponsive and a reconnect overlay screen appears. Until connectivity resumes on the other side of the tunnel, session reliability reconnects users without reauthentication prompts.

Note:

The session reliability timeout policy setting has a default value of 180 seconds or three minutes. Though you can extend the time the session reliability keeps a session open, this feature is convenient to the user.

For more information about the feature, see Session reliability in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation.

Important

With the session reliability feature enabled, the default ports for session communication are 2598 for non-SSL VDA and 443 for SSL VDA.

You can use session reliability with Gateway and SSL VDAs. When using a non-SSL VDA with Citrix Gateway, data encryption happens between the user device and Citrix Gateway. When using SSL VDA with Citrix Gateway, data encryption happens from the user device to VDA.

Using session reliability policies

• The session reliability connections policy setting allows or prevents session reliability.
• The session reliability timeout policy setting has a default value of 180 seconds or three minutes. Though you can extend the time the session reliability keeps a session open, this feature is convenient to the user. Therefore, it does not prompt the user to re-authenticate.

Tips

• Extending session reliability timeouts might cause a user to get distracted and walk away from the device, leaving the session accessible to unauthorized users. By default, incoming session reliability connections use port 2598, unless you change the port number in the session reliability port number policy setting. If you use session reliability, it closes, or disconnects, the user session after the amount of time you specify in the Session reliability timeout policy setting.
• Session reliability is enabled by default on the server. To disable this feature, configure the policy managed by the server.

Configuring session reliability from Citrix Studio

By default, session reliability is enabled.

To disable session reliability:

1. Launch Citrix Studio.
2. Open the Session Reliability connections policy.
3. Set the policy to Prohibited.

Configuring session reliability timeout

By default, the session reliability timeout is set to 180 seconds.

Note:

Session reliability timeout policy can be configured only with XenApp and XenDesktop 7.11 and later.

To modify session reliability timeout:

1. Launch Citrix Studio.
2. Open the Session reliability timeout policy.
3. Edit the timeout value.
4. Click OK.

Enhanced session reliability

The following improvements address network disruptions, ensuring a better user experience by reconnecting the session reliably:

• When you switch between Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the session becomes unresponsive. With the fix, you can reconnect to the session during ISP switches.
• When you switch networks and one Wi-Fi connection lacks internet connectivity, the session reliability feature might fail. With the fix, you can now reconnect to the session during a network switch.

Toolbar

By default, the enhanced toolbar feature is enabled.

To hide the toolbar:

1. While logged in as an administrator, access the configuration.js file in C:\ProgramFiles\Citrix\<actual path>\HTML5Client.
2. Search the configuration.js file to locate ‘menubar key.’
3. In the configuration.js file, set “menubar”:false.

You can also hide an individual icon to prevent it from showing up in the toolbar. For example, to hide the ctrl+alt+del button in the toolbar:

1. While logged in as an administrator, access the configuration.js file in C:\ProgramFiles\Citrix<actual path>\HTML5Client.
2. Search the configuration.js file to locate ‘lock.’
3. In the configuration.js file, set lock:false.

URL redirection

URL redirection allows you to control whether users access the URL by using:

• browser published on servers or
• browser that run on user devices

URL (Host to client) redirection is one type of content redirection. It’s supported only on Server OS VDAs (not Desktop OS VDAs).

When the URL redirection is enabled, the URLs are intercepted on the server VDA and sent to the user device. Citrix Workspace app for HTML5 displays a dialog prompting the user to select whether to open the URL within the session or on the local device. The dialog appears for every URL.

When the URL redirection is disabled, users open the URLs with web browsers or multimedia players on the server VDA. When the URL redirection is enabled, users can’t disable it.

URL redirection was previously known as server to client redirection or host to client redirection.

For more information, see General content redirection.

Battery status indicator

The battery status of the device now appears in the notification area within the virtual desktop session. Previously, the battery status indicator wasn’t visible in the session. This setting sometimes led to a loss of productivity when the laptop shuts down after the battery runs out.

The newly available battery status indicator feature is supported on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browsers. It’s supported only on VDA versions 7.18 and later.

Note:

With Microsoft Windows 10 VDA, the battery status indicator might take about 1 or 2 minutes to appear.

Improved in-session toolbar

Starting with the 2411 version, an enhanced toolbar UI appears when you start a desktop session. The look and feel of the in-session toolbar UI has changed. The toolbar UI is designed to enhance the end user experience by organizing the options in a user-friendly manner.

Old toolbar UI

Enhanced multi-monitor support with auto-detection and custom display selector

Starting with version 2505, new options have been added under Multi monitor icon in the toolbar, which appears only when more than one screen is connected. The multi-monitor selector allows users to choose which displays to use in full-screen mode for app and desktop sessions.

As long as the layout remains the same at the client OS, it is remembered when you disconnect and reconnect to the same session.

Note:

This feature is enabled by default.

System requirements

This feature is only supported on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge Chromium browsers on Windows OS.

Prerequisites

• Ensure that the new toolbar feature is enabled. For more information, see Improved in-session toolbar.

• Allow permissions:

  • Window management permission that is important for websites that must access information about different monitors and manage windows across them
  • Browser pop-up permission to manage whether websites can open new windows or tabs without your direct interaction.

Permission workflow

Perform the following steps:

1. As a first-time user, when you click the multi-monitor selector icon, the following pop-up appears seeking permission to use the multi-monitor setup.

   

   The pop-up appears from the browser to seek permission to use multiple monitors.

   

2. If you click Block, you can’t use multiple monitors. To enable permissions manually, refer Enable the multi-monitor permissions manually.

   If you click Allow, the pop-up appears to let you know about the pop-up blockers.

   

3. Click OK, and navigate to the browser settings and select Always allow pop-ups.

   

   (or)

   Click the pop-up icon on the browser address bar.

   

   Select Always allow pop-ups as shown.

   

Enable the multi-monitor permissions manually

If you click Block in the multi-monitor pop-up permissions, the multi-monitor icon doesn’t appear. Instead, the full-screen icon appears on the toolbar that takes you to the older behavior.

To manually re-enable the multi-monitor permissions on Microsoft Chromium Edge:

1. Click ellipses (⋯) in the top-right corner and select Settings.
2. Navigate to Cookies and site permissions > All permissions
3. Scroll down and click Window management.

4. Select Allow for sites requesting window placement permissions.

7. Click Add to add a site to Allow window placement under Allowed to manage windows on all your displays.

Multi-monitor icon

The Multi monitor toolbar icon includes three drop-down menu options for desktop and app sessions in full-screen mode:

• Extend to all displays: The session switches to full-screen mode on primary screen and maximized mode on all connected screens.

• Custom Layout: This option opens a custom monitor selector displaying the monitor layout. With this feature, you can configure how your session appears across the monitors. Users can click the rectangles in the selector to choose which screens to use and then click Apply to span the session on those monitors. The layout box arrangement depends on how the monitors are connected.

• Fullscreen: The session layout changes to full-screen mode using screens that intersect with the session window.

Use case for custom layout

Assume that you have two monitors connected to your device. You can choose to run a video conferencing app on your native device monitor and view your virtual desktop contents in full-screen across your other two monitors during the call.

Fullscreen and Extend options

The Fullscreen or Extend button in the new toolbar is a multi-purpose option button. You can switch your screen from windowed mode to full-screen mode.

The Fullscreen icon action either takes the session to full-screen mode or if you reposition your virtual desktop between more than one adjacent monitor (a subset of available monitors), then the session spans across these monitors.

For more information, see Multi-monitor setups.

Extend option

If you select the monitors from the custom layout and the session spans to the respective monitors, when you restore, the Fullscreen icon gets replaced by the Extend option. When you click the Extend icon, the session spans to the previously selected monitors.

Multi-monitor plug and unplug actions

When a new monitor is plugged in (connected), a notification asking the user to make a selection appear.

Users can select Don’t ask me again to mute this notification.

Known limitations

• On the external monitor, resource windows aren’t in full-screen mode. Instead, it is in windowed mode with a size equal to the external monitor size. We recommend manually switching to full-screen for a better user experience on each of the external monitor windows.

  To switch fullscreen, use the F11 key on Windows and your Mac, move the pointer to the green button in the top-left corner of the window, then choose Enter Full Screen from the menu.

• The multi-monitor selection is not saved between sessions. You must manually select your preferred monitors each time you start a new session by clicking the multi-monitor icon on the toolbar.
• Multi-monitor state goes into single monitor Fullscreen state by default on external monitor layout change when the session is in active state.

How to configure

This feature is enabled by default. You can disable the feature in the following way.

Configuration.js

In Citrix Workspace app for HTML5, the configuration.js file is located under the C:\Program Files\Citrix\Receiver StoreFront\HTML5Client folder. Edit this file to configure the feature.

Disable downloading of Citrix Workspace app logs in error dialogs

Starting with the version 2505, admins can hide the Download Log button in all error dialogs for both app and desktop sessions in Citrix Workspace app for HTML5 (cloud and on-prem).

Note:

This feature is disabled by default. In other words, the user has an option to download logs from the error dialog.

How to configure

This feature is disabled by default. You can enable the feature using the Global App Configuration service.

Global App Configuration service

Administrators can enable this feature by navigating to Workspace Configuration > App Configuration > Session Experience > Session settings > Hide Download Log Button In Error. Select the checkbox and respective toggle button to disable downloading of logs.

When enabled, users can’t see the Download log button in error dialogs. However, users can still access logs from the toolbar using the Collect logs option unless this option is also disabled.

In cases where both Collect logs from toolbar and in Download logs in error dialog is hidden, logs can still be accessed with the logs URL like: https://<storeurl-with-path>SessionWindow.<version>.html#engineType=log

Important:

To fully restrict log access, you must disable the View logs setting and enable the Hide Download Log Button In Error setting in Global App Configuration service.

Use case

Using Citrix Workspace app for HTML5 in kiosk mode where access to native application is restricted, users can inadvertently access Windows Explorer of the client device when trying to download logs from error dialogs.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The Download Log button still appears after you enable the setting.

Cause: There might be a delay in Global App Configuration Service settings propagation, or the localStorage on the client isn’t updated.

Solution: Clear your browser cache and localStorage to ensure that the latest settings are fetched by the client.
