Linux citrix workspace app

Looking for:

Citrix Workspace app uses a GStreamer element to encode webcam output on the user device using the Theora codec. This is theoraenc and is included in GStreamer's Base Plugins collection. Citrix Workspace app encodes webcam output in the H. In each case, GStreamer Version 0. If you choose a pipeline that uses encodebin and this cannot find the H. HDXHCaptureBin is the customized plug-in that captures and transcodes webcam data, and that you create.

The plug-in sends data to the GStreamer appsink plug-in, which has its capabilities set as follows:. The plug-in must support a readable property, source, which returns the source element v4l2src. If multiple webcams are connected, this requirement ensures that a specific one can be selected.

Run the commands in this procedure as the user who installed the client usually, root. If you do not, the script fails. For example, this reads 20 video buffers from the webcam and then plays them back in a window. In some configurations, you might need to apply custom properties to elements in the GStreamer pipeline. Because of the high bandwidth that is generated with the default settings on some webcams, native H.

To enable support, configure the following setting in wfclient. Audio input consists of audio coming from the microphone on the user device that is redirected to an application on the server. For example, audio from a server rendered application such as Microsoft Outlook or audio from server rendered media. Speex is designed for speech audio data. Vorbis is designed for other types of audio data. DLL to process Vorbis data. When connections to virtual resources are negotiated after installation during session start up , the server negotiates the codec to use with Citrix Workspace app.

The codec that is chosen depends on your configuration of the AudioBandwidthLimit setting. This specifies the audio bandwidth limit and, by extension, the audio quality for the connection. The following diagram illustrates how different audio features are used at runtime.

Workspace app chooses the feature based on the audio application that runs on the user device, and whether the correct codecs and plug-ins are available on it. Standard audio is used as a fallback if these are missing. GStreamer audio is an experimental feature. Consider using it in your deployment but be aware of the limitations in doing so.

For information on this feature, see GStreamer audio later in this document. To test whether audio is being rendered on the server, run an audio file in another player other than Windows Media Player, one which does not use Windows Media Foundation.

The audio redirection feature can detect periods of client overload and any delays in audio output. When client overload is detected, audio temporarily runs at a higher latency to increase the smoothness of the audio output.

In periods of client stability, any excess latency is discarded to improve synchronization. In the [ClientAudio] section of module. The default setting is recommended so this is sufficient to enable the feature.

The audio latency control aims for latency to stay in the range above the lower band set by PlaybackDelayThresh and below AudioMaxLatency under normal conditions. In situations where audio throughput is insufficient the latency is raised by AudioTempLatencyBoost above the lower band. This boost provides more buffering to allow smooth although slightly more delayed audio. Once the period of insufficient audio throughput has ended the latency is corrected back to the normal levels.

The last setting is the AudioLatencyCorrectionInterval which defines how often in milliseconds Workspace app tries to correct the latency. Redirects the contents of a web browser to a client device and creates a corresponding browser embedded within Citrix Workspace app. This feature offloads network usage, page processing, and graphics rendering to the endpoint.

Doing so improves the user experience when browsing demanding webpages, especially webpages that incorporate HTML5 or Flash video. Browser content redirection is supported on the x86, x64, and ARM hard float armhf platforms.

For more information, see Browse content redirection and Browser content redirection policy settings in XenApp and XenDesktop documentation. The retail build of standard Citrix Workspace app for Linux can now generate and send logs through syslog. This feature allows the handling of messages to be controlled based on their level and origin. This helps users troubleshoot, and - in cases of complicated issues - facilitate the support team's job by using the detailed logs available.

The log output is similar to the current debugging mode. The logging parameters, log level, log file, log method sequence, multi-sequential, cycle , and the module to be logged can be configured using configuration files. For information about enabling retail logging, see Citrix Workspace app for Linux Product Documentation. This feature is an important change to the secure communication protocol. These cipher suites are now generally deprecated by the industry.

However, to support backward compatibility with older versions of XenApp and XenDesktop, Workspace app for Linux has an option to enable these cipher suites. For more information about configuring deprecated cipher suites, see the Secure section in the Citrix Workspace app for Linux Product Documentation. This feature lets you save the position of a desktop session, and then relaunch it in the same position. This feature avoids the overhead of repositioning sessions at every launch.

It empowers you to dynamically adjust and save the layout information across endpoints, thus optimizing the end user experience in multi-monitor environments. For more information about configuring multi-monitor layout persistence, see the Optimize section in the Citrix Workspace app for Linux Product Documentation. In environments where limited memory is a problem, you can minimize the amount of memory used by Citrix Workspace app with the following parameters.

You can also control the allocation of memory used to draw the session image by creating a plug-in with the Platform Optimization SDK. You can configure a user device to start up in kiosk mode, in which Workspace app starts automatically in full screen mode when a user logs on to the device. This can be useful if users do not need to interact with the local operating system OS or any local applications.

In this access scenario, Citrix Workspace app effectively replaces the local OS, allowing the user to interact with virtual desktops and applications as if they were local. Together with the clearing of caches and credentials that Citrix Workspace app performs, this lets you to use workstations as thin clients. Setting up kiosk mode involves configuring the self-service UI as follows. You should therefore take further steps to prevent this. These settings can alternatively be set using the storebrowse -c option or by editing the template file as described elsewhere in this topic.

Instead of editing the self-service UI settings for kiosk mode in StoreCache. This may be more convenient than editing the. To display the SharedUserMode setting, run:. Note : The —c command is also used by configmgr the Preference UI. Before any user has launched the self-service UI, you can also configure the settings by editing the default StoreCache. This file is renamed StoreCache. Editing the template lets you enable settings such as SharedUserMode and FullscreenMode for anyone who uses the system after your edits are saved.

It can be useful to multi-thread connections to the Citrix Workspace app in environments that contain multiple processors. Multi-threading support is on by default but you can turn it off. By default, the Thinwire Graphics and Audio virtual channels each run in their own thread.

You can configure this using the following settings in module. A larger queue means that more buffering takes place and results in increased latency but less risk of data starvation. It uses Citrix End User Experience Monitoring to monitor the following aspects of Citrix Workspace app performance, in real time, in a desktop group:. Important : This monitoring feature is designed for OEM's in-house testing not for administrator's use in customer deployments.

Options are case sensitive but can be provided in any order and in any combination, except for D, which is required to display results. For example, the command wfica -rm Dcf launch.

Important : Click Reset in the dialog box to clear all parameters before starting each new test. Note that configuration details for these two monitoring components vary depending on the audio feature that is being used.

The CPU frequency governor is an operating system component that allows the clock speed of processors to be adjusted on the fly. Specifically, you might notice that the frame rate alternates between low and high repeatedly when a p host-rendered video is played, or when some other, equally intensive activity is performed. Furthermore, in ondemand mode the CPU frequency can change dynamically, based on the system load.

In some cases, the frequency appears to be miscalculated in a given time period, resulting in a lower frequency being momentarily set. A low frame rate therefore results during that period. Check that your CPU frequency governor functions correctly, or enforce a performance setting if consistent performance is required.

With XenDesktop 7, Workspace app can throttle session performance based on two factors, the available serverto-client bandwidth and the client processing load.

With XenDesktop 7. Client processing load is especially important for maintaining an optimal user experience on low performance user devices by allowing a server of higher performance to match the devices' capabilities by dynamically adjusting its Thinwire frame rate. This avoids overloading devices, which in turn reduces session latency. In XenDesktop 7, this feature is disabled by default on the server, but in Version 7.

The following aspects can be customized: Installation User interface Security Multimedia Performance Customize a Citrix Workspace app for Linux installation You can customize Citrix Workspace app configuration before installation by modifying the contents of the package and then repackaging the files.

To customize a Citrix Workspace app for Linux installation Expand the Citrix Workspace app package file into an empty directory. The package file is called platform. Make the required changes to the Citrix Workspace app package. For example, you might add a new SSL root certificate to the package if you want to use a certificate from a Certificate Authority that is not part of the standard Workspace app installation.

To add a new SSL root certificate to the package, see Install root certificates on user devices. Open the PkgID file. The exact format of this information is not important. Save and close the file. Update the package file list to reflect the changes you made to the package.

If you do not update this file, errors may occur when installing your new package. Changes could include updating the size of any files you modified, or adding new lines for any files you added to the package. The columns in the package file list are: File type Relative path Sub-package which should always be set to cor Permissions Owner Group Size Save and close the file.

Use the tar command to rebuild Workspace app package file, for example: tar czf.. Apply default to all Citrix Workspace app users If you want to change the default for all Citrix Workspace app users, modify the module. If you get an error at this step try to install the Dependencies in a different order or try to see in your error message if you miss any further dependencies.

Install Citrix Workspace. At this step we assume that you still are located in the Download-folder inside your Terminal. Enter the address to your company Storefront, or ask your IT department to receive the correct address. Enter your username and password. If you have multi-factor enabled it may look like this. You do not need to specify the full path to the executables. Also, you can specify extra directory names as a colon-separated list.

Users and administrators can choose an acceptable mixture of rich functionality and interactive performance. Making one or more of these changes, often on the server not the user device, can reduce the bandwidth that a connection requires and can improve performance:. For information about troubleshooting, see Connections in the troubleshooting section. ClearType font smoothing improves the quality of displayed fonts beyond the available quality through traditional font smoothing or anti-aliasing.

ClearType font smoothing is also known as subpixel font rendering. You can turn this feature on or off. This value takes precedence over the value set in [WFClient]. As a result, these folders remain fixed across different server types and server farm configurations.

It is important if, for example, a mobile user logs on to servers in different server farms. For static, desk-based workstations, where the user can log on to servers that reside in a single-server farm, special folder redirection is rarely necessary. Enable special folder redirection by making an entry in the module. Client drive mapping allows drive letters on the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS server to be redirected to directories that exist on the local user device.

For example, drive H in a Citrix user session can be mapped to a directory on the local user device running the Workspace app. Client drive mapping can make any directory mount on the local user device. Also, the local user has permission to access the local user device.

When a server is configured to allow client drive mapping:. This feature enables a remote application that runs on the server to access devices attached to the local user device.

Verify that client device mapping is supported on the server before using these features. If you require either or both of these features, disable SELinux before configuring them on the server. When Citrix Workspace app connects to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or Citrix DaaS, client drive mappings are reestablished unless client device mapping is disabled.

You can use policies to give you more control over how client device mapping is applied. For more information, see the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops documentation. By default, enabling static client drive mapping also enables dynamic client drive mapping.

It defaults to the Ask me each time option. You can use the wfclient. Use the GUI to set a file access level as shown in the preceding screen capture. In an app session, you can set a file access level by launching the File access dialog from Citrix Connection Center.

Citrix Workspace app supports printing to network printers and printers that are attached locally to user devices. These settings, however, might not be perfect in all environments. For example, the default setting that allows users to print to all printers accessible from the user device is the easiest to administer initially. But the default setting might create slower logon times in some environments. In this situation, you might want to limit the list of printers configured on the user device.

Where printer1, printer2, and so on, are the names of the chosen printers. Separate printer name entries by a colon :.

So, usually no local configuration is required for users to print to network printers or printers that are attached locally to user devices. Use the wizard to add a network printer from the Client Network, Client domain. Starting with Version , the VdcamVersion4Support attribute in the module.

Starting with version , the default value for AudioRedirectionV4 is set to True. As a result:. If you set the value of AudioRedirectionV4 to False :. To set the AudioRedirectionV4 to False , do the following:. Starting with version , audio recording feature is enabled by default. The devices to record audio appears when a session starts.

To disable this feature, set the value for AllowAudioInput to False in the wfclient. By default, the AudioRedirectionV4 value is set to True. The following known limitation is present when the value of AudioRedirectionV4 is set to True :. If you set the AudioRedirectionV4 value to False , the following known limitations are present:. Use the following procedure to specify a different device:. In this section, the device information is present in the ALSA configuration file on your operating system.

Citrix recommends consulting your operating system documentation for more details about locating this information.

Previously, the maximum output buffering value to play the audio smoothly was ms in Citrix Workspace app. Because of this value set, ms latency was added in the playback scenario. This maximum output buffering value had an impact on interactive audio applications as well.

With this enhancement, the maximum output buffering value is decreased to 50 ms in Citrix Workspace app. As a result, the user experience on the interactive audio application is improved. Also, the Round trip time RTT is decreased by ms.

Starting with version , you can select the appropriate playback threshold and pulse audio prebuffer to improve the audio quality. For this enhancement, the following parameters are added in the [ClientAudio] section of the module. By default, the value of AudioRedirectionV4 is set to True. To disable this feature, do the following:.

Starting with version, Citrix Workspace app supports echo cancellation. This feature is designed for real-time user cases, and it improves the user experience. The echo cancellation feature supports low quality, medium quality, and adaptive audio. Citrix recommends using adaptive audio for better performance. By default, the echo cancellation feature is disabled. During real-time user cases, it is recommended to turn on the echo cancellation if the speaker is used instead of the headset. Go to the [ClientAudio] section and update the value of the EnableEchoCancellation parameter as follows:.

Starting with version , Citrix Workspace app ensures smooth audio even when the network latency fluctuates. By default, this feature is disabled. Client audio mapping enables applications that run on the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or Citrix DaaS server to play sounds through a sound device installed on the user device. You can set audio quality on a per-connection basis on the server and users can set it on the user device.

If the user device and server audio quality settings are different, the lower setting is used. Client audio mapping can cause excessive load on servers and the network. The higher the audio quality, the more bandwidth is required to transfer the audio data. Higher-quality audio also uses more server CPU to process. You configure client audio mapping using policies. Starting with version , Citrix Workspace app supports adaptive audio.

Adaptive audio optimizes settings for your environment and replaces obsolete audio compression formats to provide an excellent user experience. Adaptive audio is enabled by default. For more information, see Adaptive audio. UDP audio can improve the quality of phone calls made over the Internet. Starting with Version , adaptive audio works when using UDP audio delivery. Starting with version , the enhancement to support UDP audio through Citrix Gateway is generally available for Citrix Workspace app.

If you use the StoreFront default. Also, it does not take precedence over the value set in the StoreFront default. USB support enables users to interact with a wide range of USB devices when connected to a virtual desktop. Users can plug USB devices into their computers and the devices are redirected to their virtual desktop after enabling auto-redirection manually through configuration file settings.

Auto-redirection of USB devices is disabled, by default. USB devices available for remoting include the following:. For more information, see Citrix Virtual Apps 7. Isochronous features in USB devices such as webcams, microphones, speakers, and headsets are supported in typical low latency or high speed LAN environments.

But usually the standard audio or webcam redirection are more suitable. The following types of device are supported directly in a virtual apps and desktops session, and so do not use USB support:. To update the default list of USB devices available for remoting, edit the usb. For more information, see the Update the list of USB devices available for remoting section. And, if allowed, redirected to the virtual desktop. Consider a user plug in a USB device in desktops accessed through desktop appliance mode.

In this case, that device is auto-redirected to the virtual desktop after enabling auto-redirection manually through configuration file settings. To configure the auto-redirection of USB devices, do the following:. The session window must have focus when the user plugs in the USB device for redirection to occur, unless desktop appliance mode is in use.

For USB redirection, the policies defined in the usb. This issue occurs if you have more than characters present in the usb. As a workaround, you can remove the existing comments to the policies to reduce the number of characters in the usb.

Consider that a user disconnects from a virtual desktop when a USB mass storage device is still plugged in to the local desktop. To verify that the mass storage device is redirected to the virtual desktop, the user must remove and reinsert the device after reconnecting. If you insert a mass storage device into a Linux workstation that has been configured to deny remote support for USB mass storage devices, Citrix Workspace app does not accept the device.

And a separate Linux file browser might open. So, Citrix recommends that you pre-configure user devices with the Browse removable media when inserted setting cleared by default.

And on the Storage tab, under Removable Storage , clear the Browse removable media when inserted check box. These devices are similar to HIDs, but generally provide real-time input or feedback and include force feedback joysticks, motion platforms, and force feedback exoskeletons. Includes digital cameras and scanners. Cameras might also appear as mass storage devices. And it might be possible to configure a camera to use either class, through the setup menus provided by the camera itself.

In general most printers are included in this class, although some use vendor-specific protocols class ff. Multi-function printers might have an internal hub or be composite devices. In both cases, the printing element generally uses the Printers class and the scanning or fax element uses another class; for example, Still Imaging. Known subclasses include:. Important: Some viruses are known to propagate actively using all types of mass storage.

To reduce this risk, the server might be configured to prevent files being run-through client drive mapping. Content security devices enforce content protection, typically for licensing or digital rights management. This class includes dongles. These devices include personal healthcare devices such as blood pressure sensors, heart rate monitors, pedometers, pill monitors, and spirometers.

Many devices use vendor-specific protocols or protocols not standardized by the USB consortium, and these devices usually appear as vendor-specific class ff. The default USB policy does not allow these devices, because one of them might be providing the connection to the virtual desktop itself.

Includes a wide variety of both input and output devices. Typical Human Interface Devices HIDs are keyboards, mice, pointing devices, graphic tablets, sensors, game controllers, buttons, and control functions. This setting is because most keyboards and mice are handled appropriately without USB support. USB Hubs allow extra devices to be connected to the local computer.

Smart card readers include contactless and contact smart card readers, and also USB tokens with an embedded smart card equivalent chip. The video class covers devices that are used to manipulate video or video-related material, such as webcams, digital camcorders, analog video converters, some television tuners, and some digital cameras that support video streaming. Includes a wide variety of wireless controllers, such as ultrawide band controllers and Bluetooth. Some of these devices might be providing critical network access, or connecting critical peripherals such as Bluetooth keyboards or mice.

The default USB policy does not allow these devices. You can update the range of USB devices available for remoting to desktops.

To update the range, edit the list of default rules in the usb. You update the list by adding new policy rules to allow or deny USB devices not included in the default range. Rules created by an administrator in this way control which devices are offered to the server. The rules on the server control which of these devices to be accepted.

Policy rules in the usb. The following example shows a section of the usb. For these rules to be implemented, the same set of rules must exist on the server. Using desktop appliance mode, you can change how a virtual desktop handles previously attached USB devices.

A composite USB device can perform more than one function. These functions are accomplished by exposing each of those functions using different interfaces. Currently composite USB device redirection is available in desktop session only.

The split devices appear in the Desktop Viewer. Earlier when a device was unplugged and plugged in during a session, the device was auto-redirected. As a result, the device was auto connected to the VDA. With this release, you are required to enable auto-redirection manually through configuration file settings. Auto-redirection of composite USB devices is disabled, by default. USB 2. Such devices employ a single configuration space and shared bus connection where a unique interface number ff is used to identify each child device.

When a composite USB device is forwarded, the entire device becomes unavailable to the endpoint. This action blocks the local usage of the device for all applications on the endpoint, including the Citrix Workspace client needed for an optimized HDX remote experience.

If the entire device is forwarded using a generic USB channel, the device becomes unavailable for redirection over the optimized HDX audio channel. However, you can achieve best experience when the audio is sent through the optimized HDX audio channel unlike the audio sent using host-side audio drivers through generic USB remoting. This is because of the noisy nature of the USB audio protocols. You also notice issues when the system keyboard or pointing device are part of a composite device with other integrated features required for the remote session support.

When a complete composite device is forwarded, the system keyboard or mouse becomes inoperable at the endpoint, except within the remote desktop session or application. To resolve these issues, Citrix recommends that you split the composite device and forward only the child interfaces that use a generic USB channel.

This setting ensures that the other child devices are available for use by applications on the client endpoint, including, the Citrix Workspace app that provides optimized HDX experiences, while allowing only the required devices to be forwarded and available to the remote session.

Earlier when a device was unplugged and plugged in during a session, the device was redirected automatically. As a result, the device was auto-connected to the VDA.

As with regular USB devices, the composite devices for forwarding are selected based on the device rules set in the Citrix Workspace app configuration. Citrix Workspace app uses these rules to decide which USB devices to allow or prevent from forwarding to the remote session.

Each rule consists of an action keyword Allow, Connect, or Deny , a colon : , and zero or more filter parameters that match actual devices at the endpoints USB subsystem. Device rules are clear text with each rule on a single line and an optional comment after a character. Rules are matched top down descending priority order. The first rule that matches the device or child interface is applied. Subsequent rules that select the same device or interface are ignored.

The first six parameters select the USB devices for which the rule must be applied. If any parameter is not specified, the rule matches a device with ANY value for that parameter. You can check the vendor, product, release, and interface IDs of a specific device using a free tool like lsusb:.

When present, the last two parameters apply only to USB composite devices. The split parameter determines if a composite device must be forwarded as split devices or as a single composite device. The intf parameter selects the specific child interfaces of the composite device to which the action must be applied. If omitted, the action applies to all interfaces of the composite device.

In a desktop session, navigate to the Desktop Viewer under Devices. The split USB devices appear. In some circumstances, however, you might require users to connect webcams using USB support. Webcam redirection works for bit and bit applications. For example, Skype, GoToMeeting. Use a bit browser or bit browser to verify webcam redirection online. For example, www. Webcam usage is exclusive to applications. The version of the GStreamer plug-in must be consistent with the version of the GStreamer framework.

For example, if you install the Gstreamer 1. Do the following steps to activate and configure webcam redirection feature for bit apps on Citrix Workspace app for Linux.

Set the AllowAudioInput value to True to enable the webcam redirection feature. If the AllowAudioInput value is set to False , do the following to enable the webcam redirection feature:. Set the AllowAudioInput value to True. This encoder is a software-based encoder with acceptable performance. However, this encoder supports only bit apps on a VDA. The Theora encoder does not support the webcam redirection feature for bit apps on a VDA. Configure the H encoder option to support the webcam redirection feature for bit apps on VDA.

H encoder supports the webcam redirection feature for bit apps on the VDA. To enable the H encoder, you must do the following:. After configuring the H encoder, if the webcam redirection feature does not support bit apps on the VDA verify the system dependencies.

The webcam redirection feature for the bit app is based on the GStreamer framework. Previous versions of ICAClient might fail. You can also run the workspaceappcheck. Apart from the GStreamer 1. For more information to install the preceding plugins , see the GStreamer installation guide. For example, if you install Gstreamer1. Run the following command to check the current version of the GStreamer framework:.

For information about troubleshooting, see Webcam in the troubleshooting section. The Citrix Workspace app package includes a helper application, xcapture. Users can use xcapture to:. Previously, when you were using the custom bit cursor, a black box might appear around the cursor. Starting with version , Citrix Workspace app for Linux supports bit cursor. As a result, the black box around the cursor issue is resolved.

Previously, the Citrix Workspace app displayed a dotted cursor that appeared the same in color to the black and white background of a text. As a result, it was difficult to locate the position of the cursor. Starting with Version , the cursor color inverts based on the background color of a text. As a result, you can easily locate the position of the cursor in the text.

A user can have multiple stores and switch across stores as needed. An admin delivers the store URL that has pre-configured resources and settings. You can access these stores through the Citrix Workspace app. For more information on store, see the StoreFront documentation.

Citrix Workspace is a cloud-based enterprise app store that provides secure and unified access to apps, desktops, and content resources from anywhere, on any device. For more information, see Citrix Workspace Overview. StoreFront is an on-premises enterprise app store that aggregates applications and desktops from Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sites into a single easy-to-use store for users. Configure Citrix Gateway to enable users to connect from outside the internal network.

For example, users who connect from the Internet or from remote locations. Starting with , this feature is generally available for Citrix Workspace app. After you have added the domain or the custom web store, provide the custom web store URL or email address in the Add Account screen in the Citrix Workspace app. The custom web store opens in the native Workspace app window. As a prerequisite, you must enable the custom web store in the AuthManConfig. To enable it:. You can provide users with the account information that they need to access virtual desktops and applications using the following:.

After installing the Citrix Workspace app successfully and when you launch the app for the first time, the following screen appears. Users are required to enter an email or server address to access the apps and desktops. When a user enters the details for a new account, Citrix Workspace app tries to verify the connection. If successful, Citrix Workspace app prompts the user to log on to the account. To enable users to set up accounts manually, be sure to distribute the information required to connect to their virtual desktops and applications.

You can now provide your email address in Citrix Workspace app to automatically discover the store associated with the email address. If there are multiple stores associated with a domain, by default the first store returned by the Global App Configuration Service is added as the store of choice.

Users can always switch to another store if necessary. For more information, see Storebrowse section. You can download the installation package, customize the configuration, and then install the Citrix Workspace app. As a workaround, consider the following options:. You can start Citrix Workspace app either at a terminal prompt or from one of the supported desktop environments.
