Browser Content Redirection and Microsoft Teams Optimization support for ARM64 based devices

From the 2405 release, Citrix Workspace app for Windows supports the following features on the ARM64 based devices.
The prerequisites and system requirements remain the same as installing the app on other architectures. As part of the Citrix Workspace app for Windows installation, the Browser Content Redirection and Microsoft Teams Optimization also get installed.
Support for TLS protocol version 1.3
| Technical Preview from 2311.1 release | Feedback form |
Starting with this release, Citrix Workspace app supports Transport Layer Security protocol (TLS) version 1.3.
Note:
This enhancement requires VDA version 2303 or later.
This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, do the following:
- Open the Registry Editor using
regediton the Run command. - Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\ICA Client\TLS1.3. - Create a DWORD key by the name
EnableTLS1.3and set the value of the key to 1.
Limitations:
- Connections using Access Gateway or NetScaler Gateway Service attempts to use TLS 1.3. However, these connections fallback to TLS 1.2 because Access Gateway and NetScaler Gateway Service doesn’t support TLS 1.3 yet.
- Direct connection to a VDA version that doesn’t support TLS 1.3 fallback to TLS 1.2.
