Azure Active Directory as Identity Provider for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Leveraging SAML, Azure Active Directory can also be used as an identity provider for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. In addition to a consistent end user experience across different SaaS applications, this also allows you to easily implement scenarios for multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies. In my presentation I will show you what the requirements for such an implementation are, how the solution presents itself to the end user and which further possibilities it opens up.
