Support for single sign-on for Microsoft Entra ID joined VMs

Starting with the 24.5.0 version, Citrix Workspace app for iOS supports users signing in to Azure AD-joined VM devices using single sign-on authentication. You need to provide Microsoft credentials when signing in to an Azure AD-joined VM device for the first time. For subsequent sign-ins, credentials are not required until the token expires.

Note:

• If the user does not use WKwebview for authentication, the credentials must be entered for the first time.
• This feature is applicable only for cloud stores.

Add multiple stores using Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)

Admins can use Unified Endpoint Management solutions to configure and add multiple stores for managed iOS devices. The details for each store can be added to an XML file. This XML file can then be uploaded while configuring the app configuration policy.

Note:

The XML file must be in a key-value format.

Important

• If the restrict_user_store_modification flag is set to true, all the existing stores are deleted before adding a new UEM configured store.
• If storeType is not provided, the default interface is treated as native.

Once the XML file is ready with the store configuration, admins can upload the file to the Create app configuration policy page. For example, in Microsoft Intune, admins need to select Enter xml data option from the Configuration settings format dropdown.

Delete multiple stores using Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)

Admins need to add a list of stores to be deleted to an XML file with the key name storesToDelete to delete one or more stores.

Sample XML configuration to delete stores

Refer to this sample XML file for more information.

    <dict>
        <key>storesToDelete</key>

Enhanced web store experience

End users can now stay signed-in to a web interface store until they sign out or the session times out. End users can also access the settings option without signing out of the current store. Click the ellipses icon to access the following options:

• Settings: Use this option to add and manage your stores.
• Sign Out: Use this option to sign out of your current web interface store.

Support for an enhanced Single sign-on (SSO) experience for web and SaaS apps

This feature simplifies the configuration of SSO for internal web apps and SaaS apps while using third-party identity providers (IdPs). The enhanced SSO experience reduces the entire process to a few commands. It eliminates the mandatory prerequisite to configure Citrix Secure Private Access in the IdP chain to set up SSO. It also improves the user experience, provided the same IdP is used for authentication to both the Workspace app and the particular web or SaaS app being launched.
