This article provides guidance on how to enable non-SSO authentication on the Linux VDA.

Overview

By default, the Linux VDA has single sign-on (SSO) enabled. Users log on to Citrix Workspace app and to VDA sessions using one set of credentials.

To have users log on to VDA sessions using a different set of credentials, disable SSO on the Linux VDA. The following table lists combinations of user authentication methods supported in non-SSO scenarios.

Citrix Workspace app	VDA session
user name	user name
smart card	user name
user name	smart card
FAS	user name
FAS	smart card

Disable SSO

Run the following command on your Linux VDA:

/opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/ctxreg create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix\WinStations\tcp" -t "REG_DWORD" -v "fPromptForDifferentUser" -d "0x00000001" --force
<!--NeedCopy-->

Limitations

In non-SSO scenarios, if an application window within a Linux VDA session is set to “Always on top,” it can block users from entering their credentials and authenticating upon reconnecting after a disconnect.
