For Storefront Direct Connections , password saving is not available for receiver for ios and end users see the field inactive which says "Disabled by Admin".
Beginning with release 6.1.2, iOS for Citrix Receiver introduces a feature that streamlines the connection process by allowing you to save your password, which eliminates the extra step of having to authenticate a session everytime you open Citrix Receiver. To be able to save passwords , PNA legacy mode , or Xenapp Services site has to be used .
