Non-domain-joined VDAs
Setup overview
Non-domain joined VDAs are supported for the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops™ service only. To create non-domain joined VDAs in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service, you must use Machine Creation Services (MCS). The brief steps are:
- Create a master image on a template VM where you also install the VDA package. You can use a single image for creating both domain-joined and non-domain-joined VDAs.
- Use the master image to create a machine catalog. Select MCS as the machine deployment method and select Non-domain-joined as the identity for machines to be created in the catalog.
For more information, see Use Machine Creation Services (MCS) to create Linux VMs and Machine identities.
Features available for non-domain-joined VDAs
Create local users with specified attributes on non-domain-joined VDAs
When you open a session hosted on a non-domain-joined VDA, the VDA automatically creates a local user with default attributes. The VDA creates the local user based on the user name that you used to log on to Citrix Workspace™ app. You can also specify user attributes including the user’s User Identifier (UID), Group ID (GID), home directory, and login shell. To use this feature, complete the following steps:
-
Run the following command to enable the feature:
/opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/ctxreg create -k "HKLM\Software\Citrix\VirtualDesktopAgent\LocalMappedAccount" -t "REG_DWORD" -v "CreateWithUidGid" -d "0x00000001" --force
