Objective
This article describes how to install Citrix Receiver for Windows and configure Single Sign-on authentication to XenApp/XenDesktop. After configuring Single Sign-on, users can log onto Citrix Receiver for Windows and launch XenApp/XenDesktop sessions without having to enter their credentials multiple times

Instructions
Single Sign-on authentication can be configured on both new and upgraded setup.

Configuring Single Sign-on on a new Citrix Receiver for Windows setup

Configuring Single Sign-on on an upgraded Citrix Receiver for Windows setup

Configuring Single Sign-on on a new Citrix Receiver for Windows setup

To configure Single Sign-on on a new setup:

Enable Domain pass-through and optionally User name and password authentication on StoreFront or the Web Interface.

Configure XML trust services on the Delivery Controller.

Modify Internet Explorer settings and Install Citrix Receiver for Windows with Single Sign-on.

Enable User name and password and Domain pass-through on StoreFront or the Web Interface

Depending on the XenApp/XenDesktop deployment, Single Sign-on authentication can be configured on StoreFront or the Web Interface using the Management Console.

StoreFront server: Launch StoreFront Studio, go to Store > Manage Authentication methods > enable Domain pass-through.

When Citrix Receiver for Windows is not configured with Single Sign-on, it automatically switches the authentication method from Domain pass-through to Username and Password, if available.



Note: [Ignore if Receiver for Web is not required] Launch Stores > Receiver for Websites > Manage Authentication methods > enable Domain pass-through.

When Citrix Receiver for Web is not configured to allow Domain pass-through, it automatically switches the authentication method to Username and Password, if available.

[Ignore if StoreFront is configured] If Web Interface is configured on a XenApp server, open XenApp Services Sites > Authentication Methods > enable Pass-through.

When Citrix Receiver for Windows is not configured with Single Sign-on, it automatically switches the authentication method from Pass-through to Explicit, if available.



Note: Single Sign-on is not supported if Citrix Receiver for Windows is connected to XenApp/XenDesktop using NetScaler Gateway.

Configure XML trust services on the Delivery Controller

On XenDesktop 7 or later or XenApp 7.5 or later, run the following PowerShell command as an administrator on the Delivery Controller:

     asnp Citrix*
     Set-BrokerSite -TrustRequestsSentToTheXmlServicePort $True

See Knowledge Center article CTX132461.

Note: On XenApp 6.5, XML Service Port and Trust is enabled using the Graphical User Interface. For more information, see Configuring the Citrix XML Service Port and Trust.

Modify Internet Explorer settings and Install Citrix Receiver for Windows with Single Sign-on
