Description
Windows login dialog prompt during session launch, even Citrix Domain pass-through Authentication(SSON) type is configured.

Resolution
Remove user from Protected Users Security Group on AD.
Problem Cause
During the investigation, it was found that the OS process "MpNotify.exe" was not loaded.
To perform SSON-related operations with Citrix pnsson.dll, MpNotify.exe must be loaded in Winlogon.
If MpNotify.exe fails to load, the SSON operation cannot be started.
Issue/Introduction
Citrix Domain pass through authentication(SSON) does not support Protected Users Security Group user.
