Asset ID

About this feature

Citrix Workspace app uses an Asset ID that administrators set through the Google Admin Console as a client name for sessions that are launched from enrolled Chromebooks.

How to configure

By default, Citrix Workspace app continues to generate a unique client ID for enrolled Chromebooks, which is similar to earlier versions. To use this feature, you must set a policy for Citrix Workspace app.

The data value that you enter can’t have more than 15 characters. Values longer than 15 characters are truncated to 15 characters.

Configuring Asset ID

  1. Log on to the Google Admin Console.

  2. Go to Device Management > Chrome > Devices Console and add Asset ID for the device.

  3. Edit the Google Admin Console policy and set the value of useAssetID to true. By default, the useAssetID is set to false.

    {
    "settings": {
    "Value": {
      "settings_version": "1.0",
      "engine_settings": {
        "uniqueID": {
          "useAssetID": true
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Feature limitations:

  • You must have a Google Admin policy that can be pushed. Otherwise, the current method of generating a unique client ID for managed Chromebooks remains in use.

  • Do not enter a value more than 15 characters. Values longer than 15 characters are truncated to 15 characters.

Unique ID and Asset ID

A unique ID is applied as a prefix to the client name.

Citrix Workspace app uses an asset ID that administrators set through the Google Admin console as a client name for the sessions launched from enrolled Chromebooks.

How to configure

To configure an asset ID using the GUI, go to Device Management > Chrome > Devices Console, and add the Asset ID for the device.

To configure an asset ID and a unique ID manually, use the Google admin policy by including the following:


{
    "settings": {
        "Value": {
            "settings_version": "1.0",
                "engine_settings": {
                        "uniqueID" : {
                                 "prefixKey" : "CR-",
                                 "restrictNameLength" : true,
                                 "useAssetID": false
                                     }
                                  }
        }
    }
}
