Citrix Connection Configuration Details (All IAFI configuration modes - Auth Only, Follow Policies, Kiosk, Fast User Switching):

  • Storefront Authentication (Store and Storeweb)

    • HTTPS required

    • The Citrix Store must be configured with the following authentication methods to support connections from IAFI.

      • User name and Password

      • Domain pass-through

      • HTTP Basic

  • When using IAFI in Follow Policies and Fast User Switching (Persistent App workflow), the Imprivata VDA Citrix URL must be the Citrix Storeweb URL. The legacy PNAgent URL is not supported with IAFI.

    • ex: https://citrix.igeldemolab.org/Citrix/StoreWeb

  • When using IAFI in Auth Only or Kiosk Mode, the Citrix Workspace App URL must be the Citrix Store URL

    • ex: https://citrix.igeldemolab.org/Citrix/Store

Troubleshooting Tip for Citrix Storefront connections

  • If you see a double-prompt to reauthenticate after initially logging into the Citrix Workspace App (i.e. IAFI Auth Only mode), check to make sure the Trusted Domain information is consistent across the Citrix environment.

  • IGEL recommends using the FQDN across all of the Citrix environment. The FQDN should also match the domain information that the Imprivata appliance is synching with against Active Directory.

    • ex: Trusted Domain = igeldemolab.org

Omnissa Horizon Workflows

For OS 12, IGEL recommends using the latest IAFI version and the latest Omnissa Horizon app version.

NOTE: IAFI app versions will specify the minimum Omnissa Horizon companion app.

** If using the Horizon NextGen v2 broker, only Workspace ONE is supported as the Horizon IdP. Please review the Omnissa Horizon documentation.
