Federated Authentication Service
Citrix allows organizations to standardize on a non-Active Directory based Identity Providers (IdP), like Okta. However, Windows-based desktops and apps require an Active Directory account for authentication. The federated authentication service, integrated with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, utilizes virtual smartcards to provide single sign-on to Windows-based resources. This eliminates the need for users to authenticate multiple times when accessing Windows-based resources

Microsoft Teams Optimization
Using Citrix to deploy Microsoft Teams in a desktop or DaaS environment can improve user experience by offloading the voice and video experience to the endpoint, but it can also maintain security by keeping the sensitive data on the virtual desktop. Administrators can configure the Teams environment to ensure users are only allowed to user the trusted virtual environment and not use Microsoft Teams locally on an unsanctioned device.

User Personalization Layer
User layers provide a better experience for administrators and users in a virtual app and desktop environment. User layers allows user-based customization to non-persistent virtual environments. User layers solves the most difficult usability concerns in a virtual app and desktop environment: Outlook cache, OneDrive synchronization, Windows search, and user-installed apps.
