What’s new in 2303

This release of Citrix Provisioning includes the enhancements described in the following sections. It includes several fixes for issues seen in past releases, and issues that we have identified.

Important:

Use the most recent version of the Citrix License Server to receive the latest provisioning features.

When upgrading Citrix Provisioning to the newest version, the latest License Server version is required. If you do not upgrade to the latest version of the License Server, the product license enters the 30-day grace period.

For more information, see Licensing.

Support for joining your farm to Citrix Cloud and upgrading to the new encryption scheme

Citrix Provisioning now allows you to join your farm with Citrix Cloud. If you choose to join your farm with Citrix Cloud, then you must register all the Citrix Provisioning servers in the farm with Citrix Cloud to establish secure access to your Citrix Cloud resources.

To join your farm with Citrix Cloud, use the Configuration Wizard.

You can do the following:

  • Join an existing farm to Citrix Cloud
  • Create a new farm and join the farm to Citrix Cloud
  • Register a Citrix Provisioning server with Citrix Cloud

Joining your farm with Citrix Cloud provides enhanced database security. With enhanced database security, sensitive data in the Citrix Provisioning database is re-encrypted with a new key. This new encryption scheme follows the industry standard encryption best practices. For more information, see Farm.

If you upgrade to Citrix Provisioning version 2303 and select to join your join farm to Citrix Cloud, you can then choose to downgrade to an earlier release. However, you cannot downgrade to an earlier release without reverting to the database in use before upgrading.

Therefore, you MUST back up the database before upgrading.

For more information, see Servers.

Enhanced security for Configuration Wizard answer file

Starting with Citrix Provisioning version 2303, the passwords to database and domain accounts in the configuration wizard answer files are protected with enhanced security. For more information, see Running the configuration wizard silently.

Support for read-only administrative role

Citrix Provisioning now supports giving read-only access to groups of users. Therefore, with this feature, if you assign a group to have farm read-only access, the users in that group can view farm, site, device collection, and device properties within a farm. For more information, see Administrative roles.

Support for SQL Server 2022

Citrix Provisioning now supports SQL Server 2022 in the following on-premises configuration:

  • Standalone
  • Database mirroring
  • Always on failover with or without multi-subnet failover

Support for new Linux streaming target devices

For Linux streaming, the following operating systems are now supported:

  • RHEL 9.0
  • RHEL9.1
  • Rocky Linux 9.0
  • Rocky Linux 9.1

For more information, see Streaming Linux target devices for details.

Support for different event IDs

Previously, all events logged by the stream process used the same two event IDs (one for errors and one for information). With this feature, you now have specific codes for all events logged by the stream process. This helps you to set up alerts based on event IDs and helps you to meet compliance around uptime. For more information, see Event IDs logged by the stream process.
