Welcome to 2024! We are thrilled to announce several enhancements that we believe will accelerate the transition and adoption of NetScaler advanced authentication policies for Citrix Endpoint Management (cloud and on-premises). 

As previously announced last year, Citrix Endpoint Management supports NetScaler advanced authentication policies that allow IT administrators to elevate the security posture for mobile platforms – iOS and Android with multi-factor authentication. We heard your feedback throughout the year to ensure the end-user experience is the same or better than running NetScaler classic authentication policies. Let’s discuss what’s new and exciting. 

What’s new?

Improving end-user single sign-on experience: With the latest versions of Citrix Secure Hub Android 23.12.0 and iOS 23.11.0, Secure Hub is now able to pass through the user credentials for MAM, eliminating the need to enter the user credentials again. For more information, check out what’s new in Citrix Secure Hub.

Enable or disable nFactor SSO by IT administrators: Previously, if you needed to enable or disable NetScaler nFactor authentication for your Citrix Endpoint Management deployment (cloud or on-premises), you needed to open a Citrix Technical Support request. That is no longer needed. There is a new client property called “ENABLE_MAM_NFACTOR_SSO” that you can turn ON/OFF when required. This client property applies for Citrix Endpoint Management cloud and on-premises. For more information, check out the Citrix Endpoint Management Client property references.

New Citrix Documentation to transition to NetScaler advanced authentication policies: We have released a new section in Citrix documentation outlining the requirements and steps to configure NetScaler advanced authentication policies. Check it out! If you have any feedback, click “Send us your feedback”. We’re actively monitoring it. For more information, go to Citrix Endpoint Management and NetScaler nFactor authentication.
