Store Sites (Receiver Based Access)

You will have to upgrade StoreFront to StoreFront 2.6 to use workspace control for store services.

You can enable workspace control for Store URL (/Citrix/store) for Receiver access by using either PowerShell or by editing web.config file.

  1. To edit the web.config file, go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\store.

  2. Locate the following lines:
    <resourcesSource id=”f01f7dc4-7f28-4bc1-b8fb-7c0db9570d20”
    storeLockedDown=”false”
    anonymousStore=”false” allowSessionReconnect=”true” />

  3. Change the value of "allowSessionReconnect" to false to disable workspace control for the site. It is enabled by default.

Citrix Workspace app for Windows

Workspace control for native Receiver for Windows is controlled by a registry key - HKLM\Software\[ Wow6432Node\]Citrix\Dazzle.

  1. Go to the registry key: HKLM\software\Wow6432Node\Citrix\Dazzle.

  2. REG_SZ WSCReconnectMode controls when reconnects are attempted. Set to number which has bits set per the following values:
    OnLaunch = 0x1,    (any time Receiver is launched)
    OnRefresh = 0x2,   (App Refresh in UI)
    OnReceiverOpen = 0x4,   (Opening Receiver UX)
    OnWindowsLogin = 0x8,  (On First launch)

  3. By default it will be set for OnLaunch | OnRefresh.
