Citrix Lizenzen und Probleme mit PVS / CVAD 2507, 2402 CU3 und 2203 CU7

Citrix Lizenzen und Probleme mit PVS / CVAD 2507, 2402 CU3 und 2203 CU7

Vor eingen Tagen hat Citrix eine MaIl an alle Kunden verschickt, mit der Information, dass ab dem 15. April 2026 das alte Lizenzmodell mit lokalen Lizenzfiles nicht mehr unterstützt wird. Statt dessen soll ab dann zwingend der neue License Activation Service (LAS) genutzt werden.

Kunden werden aufgefordert, baldmöglichst auf das neue LAS Lizenzverfahren umzustellen. Diese Umstellung erfordert ein Update aller Citrix Komponenten auf mindestens CR 2411, oder neuer.

Unglücklicherweise treten bei diversen Produkten nach der Installation Lizenzierungsprobleme auf. Welche Probleme auftreten, hängt von diversen Parametern ab. So spielt das Alter der lokalen Lizenzfiles, aber auch das Lizenzmodell (Universal, HMC, Citrix for Private Cloud, etc.) eine Rolle. Zusammen mit den unterschiedliche Citrix Produkten (CVAD, PVS, Lizenz Server, XenServer, etc.) ergibt sich eine recht grosse Matrix mit unterschiedlichsten Problemen.

Bei diversen Kunden wurden teils gravierende Probleme entdeckt. So funktioniert nach dem Update auf 2507 LTSR, abhängig vom Lizenzmodell, entweder PVS nicht mehr, siehe https://support.citrix.com/external/article/695191/citrix-provisioning-services-reports-the.html, oder alle Mitarbeiter erhalten in ihrer Citrix Session ein Pop-Up mit der Info, dass die Umgebung ungenügend lizenziert ist und in 30 Tagen aufhört zu funktionieren.

AXACOM empfiehlt daher allen Kunden, momentan keine Updates ihrer CVAD-, Lizenz- und PVS-Server durchzuführen und zu warten, bis die Probleme behoben sind.

Netscaler Authentication Fehler Nach Update auf 14.1 47.46 oder 13.1 59.19

After upgrading NetScaler to build 14.1 47.46 or 13.1 59.19 customers might experience issues with Authentication.This can manifest as a «broken» login page, especially when using authentication methods like DUO configurations based on Radius authentication, SAML, or any Identity Provider (IDP) that relies on custom scripts.

Note  :  This behavior can possibly be due to the Content Security Policy (CSP) header being enabled by default in this NetScaler build, especially when CSP was not enabled prior to the upgrade.

Lösung

To resolve this issue temporarily, you need to disable the default CSP header on your NetScaler appliance. After disabling, it’s recommended to flush the cache to ensure the changes take effect immediately.

To ensure that your configurations work with CSP , please reach out to the support team so that we can identify the issue and fix it for your configuration.

Steps to Disable CSP Header:

Using Command Line Interface (CLI): Execute the following commands from Netscaler CLI:

set aaa parameter -defaultCSPHeader DISABLED

save ns config

Using Graphical User Interface (GUI):

Step 1: Log in to the NetScaler GUI.

Step 2: Navigate to NetScaler Gateway > Global Settings.

Step 3: Under the «Authentication Settings» section, click on Change authentication AAA settings.

Step 4: On the «Configure AAA Parameters» page, locate the Default CSP Header field. From the dropdown menu, select DISABLED.

Click OK  to save the changes.

Post-Configuration Recommendation:

While enabling or disabling the default CSP policy, you are recommended to run the following command in the CLI

flush cache contentgroup loginstaticobjects

After performing the steps above, attempt to access your NetScaler Gateway authentication portal to validate if the issue is resolved.
