Citrix Endpoint Management 20.10.0

Allow static or dynamic MAC addresses. As part of the network policy, iOS and iPadOS devices can now use a different MAC address each time they connect to the configured Wi-Fi network. You can also choose to have the MAC address remain static. However, using a dynamic MAC address makes it more difficult to identify the device consistently, enhancing privacy. See Network policy.

Use Azure Active Directory (AAD) or Okta as identity platforms. The ability to use AAD or Okta as your identity platform is now available as a public preview. Users enrolling through Citrix Secure Hub can use their AAD or Okta credentials. To use either of these methods for single sign-on, configure NetScaler Gateway for certificate-based authentication. For more information about using Okta for single sign-on, see Authentication with Okta through Citrix Cloud. For more information about using AAD for single sign-on, see Authentication with Azure Active Directory through Citrix Cloud.

Use UPN or email for Okta authentication. When you set up Okta as your identity platform, you can allow users to log in with their UPN or their email address. See Single sign on with Okta.

Citrix Endpoint Management 20.8.0

Easier use of the certificate alias in Managed configurations. Use the new Certificate alias setting in the Credentials device policy with the Android Enterprise managed configuration device policy. Doing so allows apps to authenticate on the VPN without user action. Instead of finding the credential alias in the app logs, you create the credential alias. Create the alias by typing it in the Certificate alias field of the Android Enterprise managed configuration device policy. Then you type the same certificate alias in the Certificate alias setting in the Credentials device policy. See Managed configurations policy and Credentials device policy.

Passcode device policy allows you to show apps and shortcuts on Android Enterprise devices that are not in compliance. The Passcode device policy for Android Enterprise has a new setting, Show apps and shortcuts while passcode is not in compliance. Enable the setting to cause the apps and shortcuts to remain visible when the device passcode is no longer compliant. Citrix recommends you create an automated action to mark the device as out of compliance when the passcode isn’t in compliance. See Passcode device policy.

Control of Use one lock setting on Android Enterprise devices. The new Enable unified passcode setting in the Passcode device policy lets you control whether a device requires a separate passcode for the device and the work profile. Before this setting, users controlled this behavior with the Use one lock setting on the device. When Enable unified passcode is On, users can use the same passcode for the device as the work profile. If Enabled unified passcode is Off users can’t use the same passcode for the device as the work profile. The default is Off. The Enable unified lock setting is available for Android Enterprise devices running Android 9.0 or later. See Passcode device policy.

Citrix Endpoint Management 20.3.0

Enhanced enrollment profiles enabled for all customers

This release enables for all customers the enhanced enrollment profile features released to some customers in Citrix Endpoint Management 20.2.1. For information about this feature, see Configure multiple device and app management modes in a single environment.

Android devices are enrolled in Android Enterprise by default

Starting with this release, Android Enterprise is the default enrollment option for Android devices. If Android Enterprise is enabled for your Citrix Endpoint Management deployment, all newly enrolled or re-enrolled Android devices are enrolled as Android Enterprise devices by default.

This change supports the changes Google is making to Android. Google deprecated the device administrator mode of device management and encourages customers to manage all Android devices using Android Enterprise. (See Device admin deprecation in the Google Android Enterprise developer guides.)

Starting with Citrix Endpoint Management 19.11.0, Citrix communicated the required actions to migrate all Android devices to Android Enterprise. For more information about Citrix Endpoint Management support for the transition to Android Enterprise, see the blog, Android Enterprise as the default for Citrix Endpoint Management service.

If your Citrix Endpoint Management deployment includes devices that you must continue to manage in device admin mode, create an enrollment profile for these legacy devices.

To create an enrollment profile for legacy devices:

  1. In the Citrix Endpoint Management console, go to Configure > Enrollment Profiles.

  2. To add an enrollment profile, click Add. In the Enrollment Info page, type a name for the enrollment profile.

  3. Click Next or select Android under Platforms. The Enrollment Configuration page appears.

  4. Set Management to Legacy device administration (not recommended). Click Next.

  5. Select Assignment (options). The Delivery Group Assignment screen appears.

  6. Choose the delivery group or delivery groups that has the administrators who enroll the dedicated devices. Then click Save.

To continue managing legacy devices in device administrator mode, enroll or re-enroll them using this profile. You enroll device administrator devices similar to work profile devices, by having users download Citrix Secure Hub and providing an enrollment server URL.

Fixed issues in Citrix Endpoint Management 20.3.0

Trying to sort devices by Last access or Inactivity days results in a 500 internal server error. [CXM-79414]

Citrix Endpoint Management 20.2.1

Configure multiple device and app management modes in a single environment

About this feature:

Enhanced enrollment profile support is rolling out over two releases. Citrix sends notifications about upcoming releases.

Until the enhanced enrollment profile feature gets enabled for you, an enrollment profile only limits the number of devices a user can enroll.

You can now configure a single Citrix Endpoint Management site to support multiple enrollment configurations. The role of enrollment profiles expanded to include enrollment settings for device and app management.

Enrollment profiles support multiple use cases and device migration paths within a single Citrix Endpoint Management console. Use cases include:

  • Mobile Device Management (MDM only)
  • MDM+Mobile Application Management (MAM)
  • MAM only
  • Corporate-owned enrollments
  • BYOD enrollments (the ability to opt out of MDM enrollment)
  • Migration of Android device administrator enrollments to Android Enterprise enrollments (fully managed, work profile, dedicated device)

Enrollment profiles replace the now deprecated server property, xms.server.mode. This change does not impact your existing delivery groups and enrolled devices.

The following table shows the automated migration path from the existing server property mode to the new enrollment profile feature:

Existing server property New management mode
ENT mode (iOS) Apple device enrollment with Citrix MAM
ENT mode (Android) Legacy device administrator with Citrix MAM
ENT mode (Android Enterprise) Work profile on fully managed, with Citrix MAM
MAM mode (iOS and Android) Citrix MAM
MDM mode (iOS) Apple device enrollment
MDM mode (Android) Legacy device administrator
MDM mode (Android Enterprise) Work profile on fully managed

When you create a delivery group, you can attach an enrollment profile to the group. If you don’t attach an enrollment profile, Citrix Endpoint Management attaches the Global enrollment profile.

Enrollment profiles provide the following device management features:

  • Easier migration from Android device administrator (DA) mode to Android Enterprise. For Android Enterprise devices, settings include a device owner mode such as: Fully managed, work profile on fully managed, or dedicated. For more information, see Android Enterprise.

    Enrollment Profile page for Android

    For this upgrade, your current Citrix Endpoint Management configurations for server mode and Settings > Android Enterprise map to the new enrollment profile settings as follows.

    Current configuration Management setting Device owner mode setting Citrix MAM setting
    MDM; managed Google Play (Android Enterprise) Android Enterprise Work profile on fully managed Off
    MDM; Google Workspace (legacy DA) Legacy DA not applicable Off
    MAM Do not manage devices not applicable On
    MDM+MAM; managed Google Play (Android Enterprise) Android Enterprise* Work profile on fully managed On
    MDM+MAM; Google Workspace (legacy DA) Legacy DA* not applicable On

    * If enrollment is required, Allow users to decline device management is Off.

    After the upgrade, your current enrollment profiles reflect those mappings. Consider whether you want to create other enrollment profiles to handle any new use cases as you transition away from legacy DA.

    If you onboard to Citrix Endpoint Management 19.12.0 or later, the Global enrollment profile has these predefined settings.

    Enrollment Profile page for Android

  • Easier iOS management. For iOS devices, settings include a choice between enrolling devices as managed or unmanaged.

    Enrollment Profile page for iOS

    For this upgrade, your prior configurations map to the new enrollment profile settings as follows.

    Server mode Management setting Citrix MAM setting
    MDM Device enrollment Off
    MAM Do not manage devices On
    MDM+MAM Device enrollment On

    If enrollment is required, Allow users to decline device management is Off.

    If you onboard to Citrix Endpoint Management 19.12.0 or later, the Global enrollment profile has these predefined settings.

    Enrollment Profile page for iOS

  • Allow Windows 10 devices to automatically enroll in Citrix Workspace app.

    Enrollment Profile page for Windows

    For this upgrade, your prior MDM configuration maps to the new enrollment profile setting Fully managed.

    If you onboard to Citrix Endpoint Management 19.12.0 or later, the Global enrollment profile has these predefined settings.

    Enrollment Profile page for Windows

The following limitations exist for enhanced enrollment profiles:

  • The enhanced enrollment profile feature doesn’t work for iOS and Android devices when Citrix Endpoint Management is integrated with Citrix Workspace.

  • The enhanced enrollment profile feature isn’t available for one-time PIN or two-factor authentication enrollment invitations.

For more information, see Enrollment profiles.

Other updates in Citrix Endpoint Management 20.2.1

  • Simplified enrollment of dedicated Android Enterprise (COSU) devices. Citrix Endpoint Management now enables you to enroll dedicated Android Enterprise devices (also known as COSU devices) by creating an enrollment profile. You’re no longer required to create a role-based access control (RBAC) role for enrolling dedicated devices. See Provisioning dedicated Android Enterprise devices.

  • Disable biometric authentication on Android devices with the Keyguard management policy. The Keyguard Management device policy now lets you disable fingerprint unlock, face authentication, iris authentication, or all biometric authentication for devices running Android 9.0 and later.

Citrix Endpoint Management 20.1.0

  • Support for Android Enterprise COPE devices. Citrix Endpoint Management supports Android Enterprise fully managed devices with work profiles. Google previously referred to those devices as COPE (corporate-owned personally enabled) devices.

    Android Enterprise fully managed devices have a device profile and a work profile. You can apply separate policy settings to the device and the work profile. For this release:

    • You can apply separate settings to the device and the work profile using these device policies: Credentials, Keyguard Management, Passcode, and Restrictions.
    • You can apply the location mode setting of the Location device policy to the COPE device itself but not to the work profile of the COPE device. Other settings in the Location device policy aren’t available for COPE devices. See the Location device policy.
    • You can apply the Lock security action separately to the device or the work profile.
  • Auto-enrollment of Windows 10 devices through Citrix Workspace app. Citrix Endpoint Management can now auto-enroll Windows 10 desktops and tablets using the Citrix Workspace app.

Enrollment profiles control enrollment options for Android devices

Enrollment profiles now control how Android devices are enrolled if Android Enterprise in enabled for your Citrix Endpoint Management deployment. Enrollment profiles determine whether Android devices are enrolled in the default Android Enterprise mode (fully managed or work profile) or in legacy (device administrator) mode.

By default, the Global enrollment profile enrolls new and factory reset Android Enterprise devices as fully managed devices and enrolls BYOD Android Enterprise devices as work profile devices. For more information, see Android Enterprise.

Preparing legacy Android devices for Android Enterprise as default enrollment

Google is deprecating the device administrator mode of device management and encouraging customers manage all Android devices in device owner mode or profile owner mode. (See Device admin deprecation in the Google Android Enterprise developer guides.) To support this change, Citrix makes Android Enterprise the default enrollment option for Android devices.

This change means that if Android Enterprise is enabled for your Citrix Endpoint Management deployment, all newly enrolled or re-enrolled Android devices are enrolled as Android Enterprise devices.

So you can prepare for this change, Citrix Endpoint Management now allows you to create enrollment profiles that control how Android devices are enrolled.

Your organization might not be ready to begin managing legacy Android devices in device owner mode or profile owner mode. In that case, you can continue to manage them in device administrator mode. Create an enrollment profile for legacy devices and re-enroll all enrolled legacy devices.

To create an enrollment profile for legacy devices:

  1. In the Citrix Endpoint Management console, go to Configure > Enrollment Profiles.

  2. To add an enrollment profile, click Add. In the Enrollment Info page, type a name for the enrollment profile.

  3. Click Next or select Android under Platforms. The Enrollment Configuration page appears.

  4. Set Management to Legacy device administration (not recommended). Click Next.

  5. Select Assignment (options). The Delivery Group Assignment screen appears.

  6. Choose the delivery group or delivery groups that have the administrators who enroll the dedicated devices. Then click Save.

To continue managing the legacy devices in device administrator mode, enroll or re-enroll them using this profile. You enroll device administrator devices similar to work profile devices, by having users download Citrix Secure Hub and providing an enrollment server URL.

For more information about Citrix Endpoint Management support for the transition to Android Enterprise, see the blog, Android Enterprise as the default for Citrix Endpoint Management service.

Citrix Endpoint Management 19.5.0

  • iOS MDM enrollment workflow change. To improve platform security by reducing misleading profile installations, Apple released a new workflow for manually enrolling devices in MDM. This new workflow affects all MDM solutions, including Citrix Endpoint Management.

    There is no change for MDM enrollment to servers assigned in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager. The workflow changes are only for manual enrollment in MDM.

    Citrix has also simplified the enrollment. Previously, iOS device users receive two prompts during enrollment: A prompt for the root CA and a prompt for the MDM device certificate. Citrix installed the root CA for flexibility in using unsigned and signed certificates. Because all Citrix Cloud deployments use trusted certificates, the root CA is no longer needed.

    iOS device users receive only the MDM device certificate prompt during enrollment. That prompt is labeled “XenMobile Profile Service”.

    To support this change, Citrix changed the value of the server property, ios.mdm.enrollment.installRootCaIfRequired, to false. A Safari window opens during MDM enrollment to simplify the profile installation for users. For more information, see Enroll iOS devices and the following YouTube video:

    iOS enrollment video

  • Changes for new Citrix Endpoint Management customers:
    • Workspace experience deployment. You can create a separate delivery group, named Workspace, to begin to deploy the Workspace experience to new devices. By using the Workspace delivery group, you can deliver the Workspace experience to a small group without disrupting all users.

Citrix Endpoint Management 19.4.1

  • Through Workspace Environment Management (WEM) integration with Citrix Endpoint Management, you can manage all supported domain-joined Windows devices. This integration offers the following benefits and features:

    • With WEM alone, MDM deployments aren’t possible. With Citrix Endpoint Management alone, you’re limited to managing Windows 10 devices. By integrating the two products:
      • WEM can access MDM features
      • You can manage a wider spectrum of Windows operating systems through Citrix Endpoint Management
    • That management takes the form of configuring Windows GPOs. Currently, administrators import an ADMX file to Citrix Endpoint Management and push it to Windows 10 desktops and tablets to configure specific applications. Using the Windows GPO Configuration device policy, you can configure GPOs and push changes to the WEM service. The WEM Agent then applies the GPOs to devices and their apps.

    • MDM management isn’t a requirement for WEM integration. Any device that WEM supports can have GPO configurations pushed to it, even if Citrix Endpoint Management doesn’t support that device natively.

    • For a list of the devices supported, see Operating System requirements.

    • Devices which receive the Windows GPO Configuration device policy run in a new Citrix Endpoint Management mode called WEM. In the Manage > Devices list of enrolled devices, the Mode column for WEM-managed devices lists WEM.

    For more information, see Windows GPO Configuration device policy.

  • CDN delivery of enterprise apps is now the default for new multi-tenancy customers of as Citrix Endpoint Management 19.4.1. If you’re a new customer in the Asia Pacific region, contact your Citrix support representative to enable CDN delivery. In all regions, existing customers who want to deliver enterprise apps using CDN must reupload existing apps after enabling the feature. See Deliver enterprise apps from the Citrix CDN.

  • Support for Web and SaaS apps and Web links for Android Enterprise. Citrix Endpoint Management now supports delivering links for Web or SaaS apps and Web links to Android Enterprise devices. Web and SaaS apps and Web links are added for Android Enterprise in the same way that they’re added for other platforms. See Add a Web or SaaS app and Add a Web link.

  • More restrictions for Chrome OS devices:

    • Display instructions on disabled devices. You can now add a custom message to display on disabled Chrome OS devices.

    • Allow users to install specific extensions, apps, and themes. Enter the list of URLs to permit downloading from those sources.

    For more information, see Chrome OS settings.

If assigned permission as a Citrix Cloud custom administrator instead of a full administrator, you can’t click the Manage button to navigate resources. [CXM-63433]

Deprecation of TLS versions

To improve the security of the Citrix Endpoint Management service, Citrix now blocks any communication over Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1. Because of its weakening security, the PCI Council is deprecating TLS 1.0.

How this change impact you

If you use mobile application management through an on-premises NetScaler Gateway (NetScaler Gateway), you must update your load balancer service to enable TLS 1.2.

Older versions of the following connectors support TLS 1.0 only:

  • Citrix Endpoint Management connector for Exchange ActiveSync
  • NetScaler Gateway connector for Exchange ActiveSync

Upgrade your connector as follows:

  • If you use the Citrix Endpoint Management connector for Exchange ActiveSync build 10.1.3 or lower, upgrade to build 10.1.4 or higher.

  • If you use the NetScaler Gateway connector for Exchange ActiveSync build 8.5.0 or lower, upgrade to build 8.5.1.11 or higher.

What to do

If you use an on-premises NetScaler Gateway (NetScaler Gateway), enable TLS 1.2 on your load balancer service. For information, see https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX247095.

To download either connector for Exchange ActiveSync:

1.  Go to <https://www.citrix.com/downloads>.
1.  Navigate to **Citrix Endpoint Management (and Citrix XenMobile Server) > XenMobile Server (on-premises) > Product Software > XenMobile Server 10 > Server Components**.
1.  Locate the connector tile and then click **Download File**.
