This article explains how to implement the OverrideIcaClientname feature for StoreFront 1.2 Receiver for Web.

Background

By default, the OverrideIcaClientname is disabled per app store in StoreFront. This means any ICA connection made through StoreFront Receiver for Web retains its original client name displayed in the App Centre console. If the OverrideIcaClientname feature is enabled, any ICA connection made through StoreFront Receiver for Web will begin with WR_. This setting might be useful if you want to standardize the client names that user Receiver for Web as an entry point. The OverrideIcaClientname feature works only with Receiver for Web, it will not work with Receiver App Store or the Legacy Support PNA site.


Instructions

Complete the following steps to modify the StoreFront configuration to enable OverrideIcaClientname:

  1. On the Citrix Storefront server, go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix.

  2. Open the folder that represents the required App Store (example: Store1).

  3. Open web.config with Notepad.

  4. Search for the overrideIcaClientName attribute.

  5. Change the attribute value from OFF to ON.

  6. Save the changes.
