Support for TLS protocol version 1.3

This feature is in technical preview from 2311.1 release.

Starting with this release, Citrix Workspace app supports Transport Layer Security protocol (TLS) version 1.3.

Note:

This enhancement requires VDA version 2303 or later.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, do the following:

  1. Open the Registry Editor using regedit on the Run command.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\ICA Client\TLS1.3.
  3. Create a DWORD key by the name EnableTLS1.3 and set the value of the key to 1.

Limitations:

  • Connections using Access Gateway or NetScaler Gateway Service attempts to use TLS 1.3. However, these connections fallback to TLS 1.2 because Access Gateway and NetScaler Gateway Service doesn’t support TLS 1.3 yet.
  • Direct connection to a VDA version that doesn’t support TLS 1.3 fallback to TLS 1.2.

Quick Launch of Disconnected Desktops

This feature is in technical preview from 2209 release.

By enabling this feature, you can open your previously disconnected desktops instantly. Once this feature is enabled, Citrix Workspace app launches the disconnected sessions in hidden mode. The session is instantly presented as soon as you launch the desktop.
