Using SAML authentication to log in to Citrix Gateway

You can use SAML authentication to log in to Citrix Gateway using the Citrix VPN clients and the Workspace app. The plug-in supports SAML authentication only through advanced SAML policies bound to the authentication virtual server, that is nFactor authentication.

Important: The plug-in does not support SAML authentication when SAML policies are bound directly to the VPN virtual server, that is non-nFactor authentication.
