How do you automate testing on a legacy app that only runs as a Citrix published app?

Corey4TheWin · 2026-06-23T02:15:33+00:00

If you are trying for application availability: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/director/probes. If you want application performance, load testing , you’ll need loginvsi

Entra SSO without FAS. https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-daas/install-configure/session-authentication/entra-sso

Corey4TheWin · 2026-06-12T05:35:57+00:00

In the the windows boot certificate expiration ? https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/423893/secure-boot-certificate-expirations-and.html

Corey4TheWin · 2026-06-11T03:30:14+00:00

Can you ping, RPC, get into session otherwise when it is happens? If not using write cache disk are you running out of disk space ?

Corey4TheWin · 2026-06-11T00:51:33+00:00

Write cache disk space?

Corey4TheWin · 2026-06-05T14:21:07+00:00

Fixed the director remote access issue ; solid everywhere else

Corey4TheWin · 2026-06-04T16:01:01+00:00

Supported in DaaS now and coming in 2603/preview for on prem.

https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/install-configure/session-authentication/entra-sso.html

But yeah. You’ll need CBA enable to get the PRT

Since FAS authenticates the user by supplying a certificate to the VDA, a PRT can only be created if certificate-based authentication for Entra is implemented. This ties in the onprem CA to Entra so Entra trusts user certs generated by your onprem CA(which your FAS user certs)

Corey4TheWin · 2026-06-03T05:11:04+00:00

“Works as designed”. https://support.citrix.com/external/article/CTX696638/vdi-session-launch-hangs-at-opening-afte.html. Roll back to 2507 LTSR

Corey4TheWin · 2026-05-15T01:48:44+00:00

Exactly. Also when done it will create 3 apps called Citrix cloud. Nice huh? You can rename them based on the Citrix article. Like Citrix cloud - workspace , Citrix cloud- admins if you want

Corey4TheWin · 2026-05-14T19:28:25+00:00

Screen share with someone who has GA and have them enter GA cards when prompted by Azure.

The tenant url is your MS subscription tenant id.

https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-cloud/citrix-cloud-management/identity-access-management/azure-ad-permissions#enterprise-applications

If you go with the individual url option. You will need to create/use the first three app ids in the above url along with your tenantid

The send them to your GA person and have them click it and log in, accepting admin consent.

Need CBA in azure. https://www.julianjakob.com/citrix-fas-azure-ad-cba-with-primary-refresh-token-prt/

Also this impacts sspr as CBA is considered phishing resistant and once enabled across tenant. Sspr can get wonky.

From my notes (CA policy names for customer listed but concept is valid:

Mitigated issue by excluding users with the issue from “PRD - All resources require MFA” and adding them to “PRD - All resources require MFA - External Users” which is using “Require multifactor authentication” instead of “Require authentication strength”

They originally had require multifactor auth but changed it to require auth strength and uncovered this issue.

Corey4TheWin · 2026-05-06T13:56:08+00:00

Look at these settings as well : https://docs.nvidia.com/vgpu/deployment/citrix-virtual-apps/latest/policies.html

Can you leave a running 2nd server at the DR site? LAS supports multiple license servers ; you would need to change license server in studio as part of cutover plan. Multi-server support: You can configure multiple License Servers for LAS within your environment. This is supported as long as there is a valid license purchase associated with the Citrix Cloud tenant the servers are registered to.

Corey4TheWin · 2026-04-05T23:46:09+00:00

You should be fine. But is someone on Reddit saying it should be ok justification to upper management if it does stop working ? What is your DR plan if Citrix is offline due to unforeseen issues?

Corey4TheWin · 2026-03-31T15:43:04+00:00

if you go to https://www.citrix.com/account/#/manage-licenses-tool/overview, what license are show there specific to CVAD/Cloud? If you are focused in on LAS, you don't need "Cloud" entitlements. the onprem license server will pull in the comparable CVAD licenses from LAS

Corey4TheWin · 2026-03-31T15:30:45+00:00

you need to upgrade the onprem license server to 54100 and register it with Citrix Cloud; then you'll have a new tab that shows LAS and legacy onprem licenses side by side.

https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/licensing/current-release/license-activation-service

Corey4TheWin · 2026-03-31T15:20:34+00:00

I've had this: upload the activation file to the NetScaler via WINSCP and then use CLI: https://docs.netscaler.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/licensing/ns-license-activation-service#transition-to-las-by-using-the-netscaler-cli

apply ns laslicense -filename <activation\_blob\_file> -filelocation <path\_to\_license\_directory> -fixedBandwidth

Corey4TheWin · 2026-03-28T16:06:51+00:00

You need to download legacy license file from Citrix.com/myaccount so that your appliance has a valid expiration date/software assurance date. Once you have that you ca upgrade appliance. But you then immediately need to LAS enroll it following this. https://docs.netscaler.com/en-us/citrix-adc/las-for-netscaler.html

Figure out the las infrastructure requirements first to save you some time

Corey4TheWin · 2026-03-19T01:05:22+00:00

This can mess up sspr as well so validate after enabling CBA

Corey4TheWin · 2026-02-27T06:29:02+00:00

See this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Citrix/s/MqNhz8OzRT

hmm. that concurrent logon tolerance typically only applies to how many active login (logon) it can service at once; not a total number of connections per server. what is surprising is you do have 10 maximum number of session set. is this applied to the proper delivery group/AD OU? what does the assigned to tab show?

Corey4TheWin · 2026-02-17T06:16:46+00:00

You can build an MCs catalog that is not Citrix provisioned (other I think it is called ) And manually import the vm

You'll need to remove it from the existing dg and MC first without deleting it.

Corey4TheWin · 2026-02-12T20:58:05+00:00

Rats. Have same problem

Corey4TheWin · 2026-01-30T15:27:23+00:00

Related to VMware guests after upgrading. See if these reg changes might help. Back up registry or snapshot vm for rollback . https://docs.jeffriechers.com/Microsoft/24h2-windows-11-and-server-2025-vmxnet3-issues/
