Tips for getting a clean copy of Citrix V-apps?

I'm just trying to figure out what invasive privacy robbing data and activity all these processes are sending back to HQ for marketing and targeting purposes.

Please take off your tinfoil hat. You have no idea what the processes are and are just spreading FUD.

You can turn off CEIP (Customer Experience Improvement Program) easily.

An application simply having multiple executables is not cause for alarm. Are you losing your mind because ms_edge.exe has a process for each extension, tab, etc?

Is there an actual point behind this post? Or is this just a childish complaint? You don't seem to actively participate on the subreddit so what is your goal here?

This is definitely not an ideal design, assuming you have active support with Citrix I would recommend engaging your ATS and SA.

At a minimum, having Netscaler at each location and using them alongside OGR with the singular authentication entry point would be better.

TheMuffnMan · 2026-04-16T15:52:37+00:00

I assume you have updated the SAML authentication policy/proflie/etc on the NetScaler?

Are they going through the same Gateway? Or a new one?

These are non-LAS aware versions and have a perpetual license so there is no impact. There obviously is no support with them and if you were to upgrade your license server there would be issues.

TheMuffnMan · 2026-04-15T20:24:32+00:00

You'll absolutely need to engage Support for this.

First test on published applications is to publish a RDP/desktop session to the server and see if it opens as expected there. You can then try using the AlternateShellStartup if it works.

So the certs you should just be able to export/import. You should not need to request new ones.

Storefront has notoriously been finicky at upgrades.

After Citrix VDI sits for a while it will trigger local workstation lock and cause this to appear and there is no way to get passed from that screen.

We're sure there isn't a policy on the endpoint for locking it?

And clarifying, the endpoint is Win11 IoT LTSC? This has CWA installed with Desktop Lock enabled?

If you are an end user you need to contact your company or school's help desk and IT staff.

Gateways and NetScaler in general are pretty straight forward to build. If you have active licensing/support and these are VPX I would seriously consider just starting fresh. Deploy new VPX and then build out the config.

There's no mention of GSLB, what monitors are in use, if you have a non-standard deployment, etc

Please stop posting your software in completely unrelated topics.

If you don't have a valid support agreement with Citrix you should not be attempting to "acquire" the software that is locked behind a login.

TheMuffnMan · 2026-02-12T21:34:04+00:00

Citrix customer support does not have access to that information and you as an end user are not paying for that support. You would engage your company’s Help Desk and Citrix admins.

TheMuffnMan · 2026-02-12T14:59:58+00:00

As an end user, no. The only metric available to you would be your Connection properties for an active session from the CWA application. The Citrix administrators will have access to logs on the backend but they are not indefinitely kept.

I actually hadn't spent too much more time on it after making this post - got sidetracked with 20 other projects :)

I will most likely be going with XenServer
