Version 2303 of the Linux VDA includes the following new features and enhancements:

Easy install enhancements

We have enhanced the easy install feature and improved the user experience for both silent and interactive modes. Here’s a list of the main enhancements that we made:

  • Added /opt/Citrix/VDA/sbin/ctxinstall.conf as the configuration file for easy install to set, save, and synchronize the values of all environment variables needed for GUI and ctxinstall.sh.
  • Added validation for variable configurations to improve robustness.
  • Added command options for you to run ctxinstall.sh. For more information, use the help command, ctxinstall.sh -h.

For more information on using easy install, see Create domain-joined VDAs using easy install.

XDPing enhancements

We have added an analysis module in the XDPing tool to check and analyze your VDA registration status. To do a VDA registration status check, run the sudo /opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/xdping -a command.

We have also extended the XDPing test categories to include the dependency, Kerberos, and PAM checks. To do the specific checks, run the sudo /opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/xdping -T dependency,kerberos,pam commands.

For more information, see XDPing, Federated Authentication Service, and Smart cards.
