Session Recording

What’s new

What’s new in 2402 LTSR

Note:

Starting with this release, to install Session Recording or update an existing installation, you must use a local administrator account to log on to the machine where you install the Session Recording components. To do so, right-click the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops installer or the Session Recording msi packages and then select Run as administrator.

This release includes the following new features and addresses issues to improve the user experience:

Session Recording database is now made the mandatory subfeature of the Session Recording server

When the Session Recording server is selected for installation, the Session Recording database is now also selected automatically and cannot be unselected. This enhancement helps avoid installation or upgrade issues in load balancing scenarios. For more information, see Install, upgrade, and uninstall.

Contextual session recording based on smart access tags

When creating a custom policy, you can now specify smart access tags to use as scopes for the policy to apply to. This feature lets you apply policies based on the user access context including:

  • The user’s location
  • IP address range
  • Delivery group
  • Device type
  • Installed applications

This feature brings more granular control over session recording and is available for the following policies:

Azure Active Directory (AD) support (preview)

You can now install the Session Recording server and agent on an Azure AD joined machine and enable Azure AD support for them. Later when you configure various policies and playback permissions from the cloud, you can specify Azure AD users and groups who launch sessions from Azure AD joined machines.

For information about installing Session Recording, see Install, upgrade, and uninstall.

For information about configuring policies and playback permissions from the cloud, see Configure session recording policies and Playback permissions.
