Linux Virtual Delivery Agent

What’s new

What’s new in 2207

Version 2207 of the Linux VDA includes the following new features and enhancements:

Support for more user authentication methods in non-SSO scenarios

Previously, with single sign-on (SSO) disabled, users could log on to Citrix Workspace app and to sessions using different user names. Starting with this release, users can log on using user names or smart cards. For more information, see Non-SSO authentication.

Additional options for configuring session watermark

We’ve added new options to the Watermark custom text policy, allowing you to further customize session watermarks. For example, you can set Watermark custom text to <image=path to a PNG image on the VDA> to make a PNG watermark. For more information, see Session watermark.

KVM hypervisor support

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is the leading open-source virtualization technology for Linux. It is part of Linux and lets you turn Linux machines into hypervisors so that they can host multiple, isolated virtual machines (VMs). The Linux VDA works properly on KVM hypervisors. However, KVM hypervisors are not supported for use with MCS to create virtual machines.

File copy and paste available for all supported Linux distributions

Previously, the file copy and paste feature was available only for Debian 10, RHEL 7.9, and Ubuntu 18.04. Starting with this release, the feature is extended to all Linux distributions that the Linux VDA supports. For more information, see File copy and paste.

What’s new in earlier releases
