Instructions

You can disable the proxy using either using the following two Registry Keys or pushing the Group Policy (Both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows Operating Systems)

Registry Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\AuthManagerString

String Value: ProxyEnabled

value: False

 

For computer settings set BeaconProxyEnabled under HKLM:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Citrix\Receiver\Inventory

Name: BeaconProxyEnabled (Type : DWORD)

Value: 0

 

For user settings set  BeaconProxyEnabled under HKCU:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Receiver\Inventory

Name: BeaconProxyEnabled (Type : DWORD)

Value: 0

 

Ensure that you Disable Automatic Proxy Detection:

In Internet Explorer, uncheck the option for "Automatically detect settings" in the LAN settings

 

Group Policy:

  1. Open the Group Policy Management Console 

  2. Right click Group Policy Objects and select New, give the GPO a meaningful name, this does not link it to an OU so will not affect any computers or users. 

  3. Right click the New GPO, and select edit 

  4. Expand Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings and head down to Registry. Right Click and select 'New', then select 'Registry Item' 

  5. Browse the 'Key Path' select the required 'Key' 

  6. Set the value to False. 

Environment

Caution! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Citrix cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Be sure to back up the registry before you edit it.
