Automatic single sign-on to Citrix Secure Access through Citrix Workspace app for Mac - Preview

Starting from Citrix Secure Access for macOS 24.03.1, a login to Citrix Workspace app can single sign-on (SSO) an end-users to Citrix Secure Access client, establish a user tunnel, and seamlessly provide access to TCP/UDP applications. If the end-users are connected to Citrix Workspace app, Citrix Secure Access for macOS is automatically launched and the end-users can seamlessly log on using single sign-on.

When the end-users log out of Citrix Workspace app, Citrix Secure Access automatically logs out without user intervention. This feature saves time as end-users are expected to log on to just one application, thereby providing a unified experience.

Currently, this functionality is disabled, by default. You can sign up for the preview using https://podio.com/webforms/29383411/2410629.

Pre-requisites

  1. End-users must be using Citrix Workspace app 2402 or later. For details about installation of Citrix Workspace app for Mac, see Citrix Workspace app for Mac.

  2. End-users must be using Citrix Secure Access for macOS 24.03.1 or later.

  3. To enable this feature through MDM, admins must use the following settings:

    • <key>EnableSecureAccessAutoLogin</key><true/>

Points to note

  • If end-users are already logged on to Citrix Workspace app before enabling this functionality, they must re-login so that Citrix Workspace app can trigger SSO to Citrix Secure Access client.

  • When there is a logoff from Citrix Workspace app due to reasons such as a timeout or manual user logout, Citrix Secure Access is also logged out and the user session is disconnected (this is only if Citrix Secure Access was automatically launched via Citrix Workspace app).

  • SSO login from Citrix Workspace app to Citrix Secure Access is supported only on a single primary domain. SSO on multiple domains is not supported.

  • If you switch your Citrix Workspace app connection to a different URL after being single signed on to Citrix Secure Access through this feature, you are prompted to choose your Citrix Workspace app connection URL.
