Session Recording

Enable or disable playback protection

As a security precaution, Session Recording automatically encrypts recorded files that are downloaded for viewing in the player. Encrypted files can’t be copied or played on another workstation or by another user. Encrypted files are identified with an .icle extension. Unencrypted files are identified with an .icl extension. The files remain encrypted while they reside in %localAppData%\Citrix\SessionRecording\Player\Cache on the player until an authorized user opens them.

We recommend that you use HTTPS to protect the transfer of data.

By default, playback protection is enabled.
