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

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

Authentication type: Depending on the Receiver version, the following types are available:

  • Password authentication:  Suitable for on-premises connections; connections via Citrix NetScaler or to a cloud environment may cause problems.
  • 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 Smartcard page.
