Overview

Feature in Beta Status (Experimental)

In this version of IGEL OS(RPI4), the integration of Citrix Workspace Hub is in beta status (experimental).

With Citrix Workspace Hub, you can log in to a Citrix session via a mobile device app and then run this session on any endpoint device that provides Citrix Workspace Hub (hot-desking). 

Initially, the Citrix Workspace Hub application must be started on the endpoint device. The Citrix Workspace Hub application displays a launcher screen with a QR code that identifies the endpoint device and signals that the endpoint device is available. On the mobile device app, the user authenticates himself for a Citrix session (session roaming) or has a Citrix session that is already running (session casting). To connect with the endpoint device of choice, the user takes a photo of the QR code. When the mobile device app has recognized the QR code, it connects to the relevant endpoint device via Wi-Fi, and the Citrix session is started on the endpoint device (session roaming) or handed over to the endpoint device (session casting).
