Pass Thru Authentication with Citrix Receiver 4.3.x and Web Interface 5.4.0.59
We are testing Citrix receiver 4.3 and are having trouble getting pass thru authentication to work. We are currently running 4.2 without any problems. I was wondering if anyone else has run into problems.
Our environment consists of:
2008R2 servers running Xenapp 6.5 with Rollup Pack 6
2008R2 server running Web Interface 5.4.0.59
All clients running Windows 7 with 4.2.10..1 Citrix receiver
Since we are running 4.2 using pass thru, we are not strangers to the way Citrix needs to be set up but we must be missing something with 4.3
We use the following command when installing
CitrixReceiver.exe" /silent /INCLUDESSON /SELFSERVICEMODE=False /ENABLEPRELAUNCH=True /STORE0="%CitrixURL%"
After it installs and we reboot the system, the receiver is asking for a user name and password. This doesn't happen in 4.2. IF we enter credentials, it works. Of course this is bypassing pass thru. If we just cancel out of the login screen and reboot, the receiver starts but never seems to log in.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the link.
We went through and verified the settings in the document. Everything looked correct.
We then decided to try and do a manual install without using our script. We ran the install by clicking on the .exe file and chose to install pass thru. We were then able to open the client and configure everything thru self service and we saw all of the users apps.
We want to disable self service and just have all the apps show up in the start menu as we did in version 4.2. Only way we can get the apps to show up in the start menu is to put a checkmark by them in the self service menu. When we disable self service, none of the apps show up in the start menu.

Apologies but that STORE0 is StoreFront. That works with StoreFront only, not Web Interface.
You can install StoreFront, create a Store that only points to your XenApp Controllers.
This would be like the popup box that asked for email address. That requires a SRV record, DNS and some other stuff to work.
The 4.3.1 client once installed has ADMX files that should go into the C:\Windows\Policydefinitio
Otherwise you should stay with Receiver 4.2.1. There is just no value to 4.3.1 without Storefront 2.6 or 3.
Not to mention version 7.6 XenApp with Update Rollup 2 and Feature Pack 1 and Feature Pack 2.
FP 2 enables Framehawk but requires 4.3.1 client, Netscaler Firmware 11+, StoreFront 3.
Storefront 3 you also have the option to make that Store like a legacy PN Agent site with a Powershell command but you must update the WMI framework using Citrix latest update and the new Powershell modules.
Much longer conversation.
