To obtain information on all the arguments use SFConnect.exe /?.

To connect to a StoreFront server and displaying configured authentication protocols, use SFConnect.exe /url http://SFSERVER/Citrix/Store /getprotocols.

To display the available resources for a certain user, use SFConnect.exe /url “http://SFSERVER/Citrix/Store” /user LAB\user1 /password MyPass123 /getresources.
-
To launch a resource, use SFConnect.exe /url “http://SFSERVER/Citrix/Store” /user LAB\user1 /password MyPass123 /resource “My Resource Name”.
