Enabling Single Sign-on with Citrix Receiver Pass-Through Authentication

The ability to access published applications using web browsers is a crucial aspect of any Citrix deployment. However, ensuring seamless authentication can sometimes be a challenge. In this article, we will explore the process of enabling single sign-on (SSO) with Citrix Receiver pass-through authentication.

When launching published applications through a web browser for StoreWeb, it is essential to enable the Single Sign-on feature as described in the Group Policy Settings section. This ensures that users can access their applications without having to manually authenticate each time.

In situations where Citrix Receiver for Web is not configured to allow Domain pass-through authentication, the receiver automatically switches the authentication method to Username and Password if available. To resolve this issue, navigate to Stores > Receiver for Websites > Manage Authentication methods and enable Domain pass-through.

Similarly, 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. This means that administrators need to ensure that the receiver is properly configured to use SSO.

It's important to note that Single Sign-on is not supported when Citrix Receiver for Windows is connected to XenApp/XenDesktop using NetScaler Gateway. Therefore, it's crucial to consider this limitation during the planning and implementation phase of a deployment.

Configuring Single Sign-on on StoreFront or Web Interface

To configure SSO on StoreFront or the Web Interface, administrators can use the Management Console. This process involves enabling Domain pass-through and optionally User name and password authentication on StoreFront or the Web Interface, depending on the XenApp/XenDesktop deployment.

For a new setup, configuring Single Sign-on involves enabling Domain pass-through and optionally User name and password authentication on StoreFront or the Web Interface. Additionally, administrators need to configure XML trust services on the Delivery Controller.

In conclusion, enabling Single Sign-on with Citrix Receiver pass-through authentication is a crucial step in ensuring seamless access to published applications. By following the steps outlined in this article, administrators can ensure that their users have a secure and streamlined experience when accessing Citrix resources.
