TroubleShooting the DeskTop Credential Pass-Through Feature

Document ID: CTX076838   /   Created On: Jul 25, 2001   /   Updated On: Apr 23, 2008
Average Rating: 1

Symptoms

The client may be prompted to log on a second time when connecting to a published application delivered by NFuse or Web Interface.

Causes

Various

Resolutions

1. Properly configure the feature, as outlined in the Administrator’s Guide, Enabling Desktop Credential Pass-Through (Single Sign-On).

2. The Web Server must be a domain member in order for IIS to perform a domain authentication.

3. Connect directly to a MetaFrame XP Feature Release 2 or greater server to verify that Single Sign-On is correctly configured and operating on the client device. Citrix article CTX368624 - Troubleshooting Citrix Pass-through Authentication (Single Sign-On) may assist in resolving any Single Sign-On issues.

4. When implementing the Web Interface to connect users through a load balanced Web site (using Microsoft load balancing to map two IIS Web servers into a virtual IP address) and Internet Explorer is used to connect to the virtual IP address, the IIS logon box appears. The result is that manual log on is required to get your application list and another logon to launch an application. The virtual IP address must be added to the Trusted Sites zone in the properties of Internet Explorer under Tools, Internet Options, Security tab.

5. The Windows NT LAN Manager (NTLM) was configured on the IIS as the authentication method, the desktop credential pass-through was configured on the Web Interface, and one of the following was in place:

Users did not use a domain account to log onto the workstation
— or —
Users tried to access the Web Interface using the IP address

6. Ensure users log on to the workstation with a domain account. If this is not possible, the desktop credentials pass-through feature cannot be used. This is by design.

7. Use the NetBIOS name or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) to access the Web Interface or add the Web Interface to the trusted site in the users’ Internet Explorer application.
