Microsoft Edge WebView for StoreFront authentication

Supported on: Citrix Workspace app for Windows 2302 and above.

Description

Requirements: Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime version 131 or later. This policy allows to control the webview in which StoreFront authentication related web content is loaded. When this policy is enabled, Citrix Workspace app uses Microsoft Edge WebView2. Microsoft Edge WebView2 provides support for authentication mechanisms like Windows Hello based authentication, FIDO2 Security Keys based authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO) to Citrix Workspace app from Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AAD) joined machines with AAD as an identity provider, and Conditional Access. When this policy is disabled, Citrix Workspace app uses Internet Explorer WebView.

Registry

HKLM Software\Policies\Citrix\AuthManager

Value name: EdgeChromiumEnabled

Enabled: EdgeChromiumEnabled = true

Disabled: EdgeChromiumEnabled = false

REG Builder

BETA

Configure the state and elements to generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune, and SCCM outputs.

These exports replicate the policy's registry effect. Editing the registry directly is not the same as applying the GPO through the management console (no gpupdate, no central reporting). Test before production; HKLM changes require administrator rights.
