Client App Management

Starting with version 2409, Citrix Workspace app for Mac offers Client App Management capability that makes the Citrix Workspace app a single client app required on the end point to install and manage agents such as Citrix EndPoint Analysis (EPA) and Zoom VDI plug-ins. With this feature, administrators can easily deploy and manage required agents from a single management console. You can configure this feature using the Global App Configuration service (GACS).

To configure Client App Management, do the following:

  1. Administrators must specify the agents required on end users’ devices in GACS.
  2. Citrix Workspace app fetches the list of agents from GACS.
  3. Based on the list fetched from GACS, Citrix Workspace app downloads the agent packages through the auto-update service. If the agent isn’t previously installed on the end point, Citrix Workspace app triggers the installation of the agent. If the agent is already installed, Citrix Workspace app triggers an update to the agent (if the version of the downloaded agent is higher than the installed version.)

Citrix Workspace app ensures to automatically update the agents whenever an update is available in the future.

For more information about configuration, see Manage plug-ins using Global App Configuration service.

With this feature, you can download, install, and auto‑update the Zoom VDI plug-in from Citrix Workspace app. For more information about configuration, see Zoom VDI Plug-in Management in the GACS documentation.
