Citrix Configuration

The configuration of Citrix VDI sessions is managed through Scout.
For a detailed walkthrough, please refer to Connecting to a Citrix® farm.

When configuring Citrix sessions in the Imprivata context, it is important to distinguish between private user sessions and static persistent sessions:

Private User Session

A private Citrix virtual desktop or application session provides each user with access to their own set of applications and desktops.

  • The session is terminated upon logoff.
  • Best suited for classic, user-centric workloads such as office and communication applications.

Static Persistent Session

For workflows requiring Fast User Switching (FUS) and immediate access to shared clinical applications (e.g., Electronic Health Records), a static, persistent Citrix session is required.

  • These sessions remain active even after a user logs off.
  • The application is instantly available to the next user logging in.
  • Each eLux client configured for a static persistent session requires a dedicated service account.
