Universal Agent for Windows and macOS

The Liquit Universal Agent brings Windows and macOS into a single workflow. The result: Transparent and seamless application management for all applications across thousands of users demanding countless configurations. The IT team continues to manage all applications for macOS and Windows at the same time with our Universal Agent. End-users still access their applications seamlessly and without disruption.

• Can be installed on modern macOS and Windows devices
• Supports ARM (for macOS) and Intel devices
• Install and launch native applications for macOS and Windows
• Filter and context cross platform

Universal Agent enhancements

In addition to enabling multi-platform support, we are introducing a substantial number of other functionalities that will prove of immense value.

Override agent configuration settings from the zone

Make changes to the agent from the zone. This feature lets you override agent settings per user, group, or context.

Intelligent content distribution

Only content will be downloaded for packages based on filter prediction (platform and device filters) and if actions or filters are supported for the current platform.

Download resume support for content

A download will not get aborted after the connection is lost, but continues where it was aborted, reducing both waiting time and bandwidth consumption.

Certificate based device registration

Register devices to a Liquit zone by using a certificate as alternative for username and password.

Certificate based device authentication

The agent generates a unique agent authentication certificate. After the device registration, the agent uses the generated certificate for authentication. As a result, the agent.json configuration does not need to keep the registration settings which in turn is one less credential that can be compromised.

Connectors

Connectors are important to deliver application management without boundaries. You make the technology choices; we help you manage applications. With Liquit Workspace 4.0 we are introducing three new Connectors.

Microsoft Store Connector

This brand-new Connector imports applications directly from the Microsoft Store into Liquit Workspace. This Connector grants you access to applications only available via the Windows Store and gives the possibility to patch these applications automatically.

VMware Horizon Connector

The VMware Horizon platform runs and delivers virtual desktops and apps across the hybrid cloud to simplify, automate, and secure desktop and app management for administrators while supplying a consistent experience across devices and locations for users. The Liquit Workspace VMware Horizon Connector takes anywhere, anytime access to virtual desktops and apps to another level by making it easy to import all your WAVD applications and publish them in a Liquit environment next to any other type of application or platform like Citrix, Microsoft 365, Nutanix, etc. Our Smart Icons give your end -users the control they demand to launch an application or service with technology connections and contextual needs and security managed transparently in the background.​

Nutanix Frame Connector

Liquit Workspace adds more functionality to Frame, the Desktop-as-a-Service solution by Nutanix. The Liquit Connector makes your enterprise app experience transparent for end-users while being fast and flexible for IT. Admins get automation control over importing remote applications and desktops.

More connector improvements

Branch column in resources view for Setup Store Connector

We have made improvements to the resources view for the Setup Store Connector. The new view helps to show the correct branch easier (for example x86 or x64 architecture).

Request Setup for the Setup Store

When a setup is not available in the Liquit Setup Store, you can request it via the Liquit Setup Store directly. Simply click the ‘Request product’ button under the Setup Store resources and you will be able to submit your application to the Liquit Setup Store team.

RDS Connector supports remote desktops

Full Desktop package support has been added to the Microsoft RDS Connector, you can optionally import packages that connect to the RDS farm with a full desktop RDP session.

Connector entitlement identity matching using properties

Connectors that support entitlement synchronization now have the possibility to match identities across different identity sources based on matching attributes like name or display name fields. For example, this lets a VMware Horizon environment that is connected to Active Directory to synchronize entitlements in Liquit that is configured against Azure AD.

Categories and tags creation/assignment support for Connectors

Import categories and tags from the Liquit Setup Store and Liquit Workspace Connectors. Categories and tags defined on packages in the source environment will be created in the local environment.

Condition Sets

Reuse your globally defined filter sets in Packages and Deployments. With the help of Condition Sets you can create common scenarios globally and use them repeatedly within your packages. Saving valuable time.

Dynamic Device Collections

In addition to static device collections, in the new release it is possible to create device collections based on filters. This allows you to easily create device collections based on common characteristics like platform version. As a result, these lists do not have to be manually kept.

Insight in Liquit license usage

Do you want to know how the billable users are calculated? This new feature supplies more insight into license usage.

Categories

Supply greater control over the organization of packages. For example, you can use the category ‘Productivity’ and the tag ‘Word processor’ for an application like Microsoft Word.

New Filters

Filter galore. We are sure that at least one of them will make your workday easier.

MSI Installed version filter

In addition to checking whether a MSI is used to install a specific application, you can also check if the version of the MSI corresponds with the desired version.

Printer exists filter

A filter to check if a printer exists on a system.

Agent type filter

This new filter can detect if the old agent is still running, making it easier to move people to the Liquit Universal Agent.

Network Ping filter

Ping a remote address to check if a network address is reachable for an agent.

URL scheme exists filter Check if a URL schema is available (i.e., excel://)

You can use this to verify if an application need installing before you are able to use the URL schema.

Liquit variable exists and value filters

A set of filters that help you to check whether Liquit variables are defined and/or compare the value to a static value or contents of other Liquit variables.

Agent offline mode filter

Check to see if the local agent is running in offline mode and does not have any connectivity with the Liquit servers.

Package installed filter

new filter that detects if a package is installed on the local device.

Package distributed filter

With this filter the system detects if a package is distributed on the local device.

Package availability filter

This filter detects if a package is available based on the dependent package’s filters.

New Actions

Stop current action set

With the ‘Skip action' you can skip the current action set, action sets or the entire package. This is useful in combination with filters to easily stop further execution if criteria are not met, removing the need to apply the same filters on every action.

Delete printer

Delete an existing printer installed on the local device.

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) printer support

The ‘Connect printer’ action has been extended with new options. For example, it is possible to connect IPP printers via Liquit Workspace.

Identity Source

LDAP Delta Synchronization support

Liquit Workspace supports synchronization of changes made in an Active Directory identity source, resulting in shorter waiting times.

Domain Controller discovery

Simplify the configuration of Active Directory by only needing to specify the domain name. LDAP servers will be detected using the DC Locator process, keeping respect to Active Directory sites and use the closest LDAP servers for each Liquit server.

PowerShell

In addition to adding support for the new features in 4.0, we have made other changes that are worth mentioning.

PowerShell Module as NuGet

Use the PowerShell NuGet distribution framework to download and install the latest Liquit PowerShell module.

Search and Name parameters for PowerShell get cmdlets

Search for objects by name or other text fields.

Setting server state/info via PowerShell cmdlet: Set-LiquitServer cmdlet to set Server properties, like maintenance state and description.

Other Notable Features

This new release is loaded with so many new features. These may seem small but could prove helpful to you and your organization.

Native icons on hidden entitlements/multi-platform

Adding further flexibility on how you present the workspace to the end-user. For example, you can deploy a Smart Icon to the start menu and hide it from the user in the workspace.

Agent option to override the packageTempDir

We offer the ability to specify an alternative location for temporary package installation files from the agent configuration.

Azure AD authentication for Azure SQL database

Authenticate to a SQL database with Azure AD credentials.

High Contrast Theme

Say hello to the High Contrast Theme in Liquit Workspace. A brand-new feature that uses a limited color palette with contrasting colors to make the interface easier to use. End-users with photosensitivity or contrast issues as well as people in low-light environments get the major benefit from using the high contrast mode on their computer.

Support for multiple domains/virtual hosts for a single zone

Support multiple domain names to access a single zone. Useful if company undergoes a name change to allow a rollout migration or if multiple organizations connect to the same zone, it allows to customize the branding per domain using contexts while still delivering the same applications from a single zone.

Redirect URI support for OAuth2 authentication

Use a customized redirect URL to be configured and sent to the OAuth2 endpoint, an extra option has been introduced to send the endpoint a redirect URL based on the incoming domain a user comes from. This feature is needed to properly support Azure AD in combination with multiple domains.

Revert user settings to default

Reset users to the default settings, defined by either admin or the system. After changing the theme, the user will be asked if they want to reset their settings to default.

Direct Access CDN for Azure Blob Storage

Distribute content globally using a CDN provider. This permits web browser/agent to download content directly from Azure Blob Storage near the local device. Which improves content distribution times and increases scalability.

Variable support in transforming values for identity providers

Use variables in the rewrite rules for identity providers, for example you can transform an Azure AD attribute to a compatible attribute for Active Directory.

Obsolete agent bootstrapper

It is no longer possible to select the ‘Preconfigured Executable’ to download the agent from the Liquit portal, when this has been configured before an upgrade, this feature will still be available if it is configured before.

In the next release of Liquit Workspace the ‘preconfigured executable’ will become entirely unavailable. All customers are recommended to switch to the ‘Windows Installer’ method. Or use the new bootstrapper with more features available at: https://liquit.com/support/#downloads
