[Director 1912 internal error when trying to log in]

Disable Form-Authentication.

The Authentication pane in IIS for the Director site should look like
Anonymous Authentication Disabled
ASP.NET Impersonation Disabled
Basic Authentication Disabled HTTP 401 Challenge
Forms Authentication Disabled HTTP 302 Login/Redirect
Windows Authentication Enabled HTTP 401 Challenge

For those who has Director SSO working.  Did you have to do anything extra in Chrome and Edge, like play policies to allow kerberos auth to director url?   I can only get SSO working with IE (or Edge in IE mode).  I can get chrome working, but as soon as I add that policy, I now have to manage all internal SSO webpages (we have bunch and some use different domain, so can not just wild card it).   Also, for those with SSO working, does it log you on directly into dashboard when you access the site, or do you still need to click to log in without entering credentials?

Thanks. 

[CWA with Nvidia T4 GRID local applications performance]

Hello all. 

I am investigating an issue with different versions of CWA for Windows 10 (1912 - 2212) where in double-hop scenario with hop one VDI running on a VM with Nvidia T4 GRID, starting Citrix delivered applications from this VDI causing all local applications to slow down.  More applications I start, slower local applications are responding.  I am talking about switching between applications, navigating inside applications, or even explorer.  Starting single application has no impact, starting 2-3, becomes noticeably slow, while 3+ downright unusable.  All applications are hosted of non-GPU 1912 XenApp site (including multi-session VDAs).   I can also reproduce same issue if I RDP into the same 1st hop VDI.  I can even uninstall all VDA components from the same VDI.  Issue always the same until I fully disable Nvidia GPU at VM level.  Once GPU is disabled, local application lag goes away.   I already tried disabling CWA hardware acceleration, as well as list of other settings I found on-line.  As of now, I can not identify root cause for this. What is even more strange, I do not see where this lag is coming from.  VDI CPU, Memory, IOPS, GPU utilization, all look pretty minimal and nothing is pegged.  ICA RTT and latency are set to update every 1s and are in single numbers.  VDI is 8CPU and 64Gb of memory, running on Vmware 7 and we have other non-GPU VDIs in the environment, as well as physical remote PCs with Nvidia cards that do not exhibit this behaviour.   Have support case open with Citrix and Nvidia and Nvidia is pointing finger at Citrix and Citrix is still investigating collected traces.  Figured, let me bounce this against the community, as I am sure this is not first ever implementation with Nvidia GRID backed VDIs.

Thank you in advance.

[Remote PC / Citrix HDX Web Camera not working for all users]

I know this is old, but did you ever find a fix for this?

I am seeing same issue with 2203 and 2206.  Only it is worse.

In 2106, if Citrix HDX Web Camera is selected on a console of the Remote PC (still not sure why it is even showing up inside console session), it would prompt user that device is non-working and switch to another.

In 2203, 2206 (I think 2112 and up), it freezes client that is trying to access Citrix HDX Web Camera (WebEx, Zoom and alike).

Have a case open with Citrix for some time now.  No solution yet.

[Slow user experience after upgrading Win 10 from 1909 to 20H2]

Try setting the policy for HDX Adaptive Transport to Off.    Depending on client version and a few other factors, that can produce that effect.

 

It's just a Citrix policy, so only takes a couple of minutes to apply and test.

 

Yes, that was one of the things I already did to somewhat improve user experience, but still not as good as 1909 (also with TCP enforced). 

Still curious why EDT over UDP makes it worse.  

[Slow user experience after upgrading Win 10 from 1909 to 20H2]

Using Remote PC VDAs with Windows 10 1909 and VDA 7.15CU5 and 1912CU2/3.  All PCs are pretty high end and we had no issues with win 10 1909.   After upgrading windows to 20H2 and making sure supported LTSR version of VDA is on, user experience becomes very laggy. Interacting with applications in Remote Desktop session is very sluggish.  ICA RTT went up from 10-20ms to 500+.  Tried VDA versions 2012 and 2106 and same results.  Nothing changed on the client end.  Almost seems like something is slowing down hdx encoding.  RDP is not impacted and works much better then HDX.  Wondering if anyone experienced the same.
