Session Recording

Known issues

The following issues have been identified in this release:

  • Upgrading the Session Recording server fails when “Require SSL” is enabled in IIS for the SessionRecordingBroker application and only TLS 1.2 is enabled for the server-side protocol on the SR server.

    To work around this issue, complete the following steps:

    1. Temporarily Disable SSL: On the Session Recording server, open IIS Manager. For the SessionRecordingBroker application, go to SSL Settings and uncheck “Require SSL”.
    2. Run Upgrade: Execute the upgrade installer for the Session Recording server.
    3. Re-enable SSL: After the upgrade completes, go back to the SSL Settings in IIS and re-check “Require SSL” for the SessionRecordingBroker application.
  • If you are using Citrix Web App Firewall (WAF) signatures to mitigate in part the CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability, Session Recording might not work as expected. To resolve the issue, exclude the IP addresses of your Session Recording servers from the mitigate_cve_2021_44228 policy on the NetScaler side. [CVADHELP-24365]

  • A domain user with local administrator privileges on the Session Recording policy console can add local and domain users to which the action of a policy rule applies. However, a local user with local administrator privileges can add only local users but not domain users. [SRT-5769]

  • The web player might not work properly if you upgrade it from Version 2009 or earlier. To work around the issue, clear your browser cache. [SRT-5624]

  • Rules of custom policies might be lost after you update Session Recording from the version included in XenApp and XenDesktop 7.6 LTSR to the latest version. As a workaround, update the software to the version included in the latest CU of XenApp and XenDesktop 7.15 LTSR and then update it to the latest release. [SRT-4546]

  • When Machine Creation Services™ (MCS) or Citrix Provisioning (PVS) creates multiple VDAs with Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) installed, those VDAs can have the same QMId. This condition might cause various issues, for example:

    • Sessions might not be recorded even if the recording agreement is accepted.
    • The Session Recording server might not be able to receive session-logoff signals and therefore, sessions might always be in a live state.

    For information about a workaround, see Install, upgrade, and uninstall. [#528678]
