Citrix Receiver 11.5 for Mac

About Receiver for Mac

Citrix Receiver for Mac provides users with self-service access to resources published on XenApp or XenDesktop servers. Receiver combines ease of deployment and use, and offers quick, secure access to hosted applications and desktops.

Citrix Receiver for Mac has been enhanced for on-demand access to Windows, Web, and Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. You can use it for web access or configure it for use with Citrix CloudGateway.

What’s New

Citrix Receiver for Mac 11.5 provides the following new features and enhancements for customers:

  • CloudGateway Express Interoperability. Enables existing XenApp and XenDesktop customers to deliver all their Windows apps and desktops to any device using a unified StoreFront with self-service.
  • CloudGateway Enterprise Interoperability. Enables enterprises to aggregate, control, and deliver all of their Windows, web and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications to any user on any device.
  • Pass-through authentication to AppController. When used with Receiver Storefront 1.1, once logged on to Citrix Receiver, users can access Web and SaaS applications through AppController without needing to authenticate again. No Receiver-specific administration is needed to use pass-through authentication support.
  • Flexible installation methods. You can install Receiver for Mac from Receiver for Web and Web Interface or you can use Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) tools like Casper Suite.
  • Self-service. Citrix Receiver displays all the resources that you make available to users. Users can browse the list or search for the resources they require and subscribe with a single click. Enabled using one-click configuration and CloudGateway.
  • One-click configuration. Opening a service record after installing Citrix Receiver activates self-service access to CloudGateway-published resources. You can publish a service record on a web site or email it to multiple users.
  • Auto-provisioned applications. Receiver automatically adds administrator-designated applications when users first authenticate. Requires CloudGateway StoreFront.
  • Receiver for all devices. User experience is consistent across Receiver platforms and devices.
  • Follow-me subscriptions. Users’ selected applications follow them across devices. Requires CloudGateway StoreFront.
  • Workspace control. Provides users with the ability to roam. They can disconnect quickly from all running applications and desktops and reconnect to them. Workspace control enables users to move between user devices and gain access to all of their desktops or open applications when they log on.

Citrix Receiver 3.2 for Windows

What’s New in this Release

When used with Citrix Storefront 1.1, this release of Receiver for Windows (standard, CitrixReceiver.exe) supports single authentication to Receiver and the browser for Web and SaaS apps published through AppController 1.1. Receiver users will now authenticate with those apps as they have for published Windows apps. No Receiver-specific administration is needed to use the additional single authentication support.

The Receiver Enterprise package did not change for this release. It is required only to support applications that use Smart Card authentication.

CloudGateway Enterprise

Citrix have released CloudGateway Enterprise for web.

About CloudGateway Enterprise

CloudGateway Enterprise is designed to offer a single point of control for enterprise delivery of Windows, Web and SaaS applications, with a seamless end-user experience across the various Receiver variants. CloudGateway Enterprise comprises of three key components:

  1. StoreFront services– The Windows component allowing the various Citrix Receivers to connect to the enterprise store, and deliver Windows, Web and SaaS applications to users, with a follow-me subscription and launch experience.
  2. AppController– A linux based virtual machine available for both XenServer and vmware based hosts, providing the central administrative point for configuration of all enterprise Web and SaaS applications, to be delivered to end users, with a single sign-on federation and consolidated provisioning capabilities
  3. Gateway services – Delivered through the Access Gateway component, either standalone, or as a feature of the NetScaler MPX, VPX and SDX platforms.

Note that CloudGateway Enterprise provides the license entitlement for the Access Gateway universal licenses, but the actual AG physical or virtual appliances actually needed to deploy this functionality, will need to be procured independently

In addition to the above components CloudGateway Enterprise will also consist of regular AppConnector update packs, which will include new connectors for applications, that will keep increasing the number of applications supported for both federation and user account provisioning support within the AppController.
