Menu path: Setup > Sessions > Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp > Citrix StoreFront / Web Interface > Logon

In this area, you can define session-specific logon options.

Choose an Authentication Type. Depending on the Receiver version, the following types may be available:

  • Password authentication
  • Kerberos passthrough authentication (Web Interface only, not StoreFront)
    Uses local logon data for listing and launching applications. The option enables single sign-on for XenApp if logon with AD/Kerberos is configured on the thin client.
  • Smartcard authentication (StoreFront only, not Web Interface)
  • Citrix authentication mechanism (instead of IGEL), without smartcard
  • Citrix authentication mechanism (instead of IGEL), with smartcard

If you have set an authentication type with smartcard, select the type of card on the Smartcardpage.

Additional options include the following:

  • Use passthrough authentication: Uses temporarily saved logon data for listing and launching applications.
  • Auto logon: Uses the logon data preset on this page when connecting to the server.
  • Remember user name and domain: Saves the user name and domain from the last logon.
  • Synchronize Citrix password with screen lock: Synchronizes the screen lock password with that of the Citrix application.
  • Relaunch Citrix logon after logoff: Automatically shows the Logon dialog again after logging off.

Give a list of applications which will be launched automatically after a connection to the server has been established.


To select an application for automatic launching, proceed as follows:
  1. Click on in the Launch following applications automatically after server connection is established area.
  2. In the Add dialog, enter the name of the application.

    You can also enter part of the name followed by an asterisk (*).

  3. Click on Next.
    After a successful logon, the associated desktop icon for each available application will be placed on the thin client desktop. All applications whose name matches one of the names given in the Start following applications automatically after server connection is established area will then be launched.
