Question

The client wants to achieve authenticated access to XenApp/XenDesktop infrastructure via Linux Citrix Receiver using Pass-through authentication (SSO) and AD-based account credentials.

The process at the moment is as follows: an end-user has already entered his/her PIN code while receiving Kerberos ticket from AD, yet PIN is asked again for each repeated authentication against AD. It seems that there should be a way to configure SSO on Receiver for Linux simiraly as it works on Windows clients.

Can Linux receiver provide the ability to read these Kerberos tickets from a local Linux Kerberos credential cache, providing logon to XD/XA and re-using them for AD-related authentication (SSO)?

Answer

As of now as per the Citrix Receiver Feature matrix, Pass through Authentication is not enabled for Receiver for Linux.
