Gateway

Showing the Client Choices Page at Logon

When you enable the client choices option, users can log on with the Citrix Gateway plug-in, the Web Interface, Receiver, or clientless access from one webpage after successful authentication to Citrix Gateway. When the logon is successful, icons appear in the webpage from which users can choose the method to establish a connection. You can also configure the Citrix Gateway plug-in for Java to appear on the choices page.

You can enable client choices without using endpoint analysis or implementing access scenario fallback. If you do not define a client security expression, users receive connection options for the settings that are configured on Citrix Gateway. If a client security expression exists for the user session and the user device fails the endpoint analysis scan, the choices page offers only the option to use the Web Interface if it is configured. Otherwise, users can use clientless access to log on.

You configure client choices either globally or by using a session profile and policy.

Important: When configuring client choices, do not configure quarantine groups. User devices that fail the endpoint analysis scan are quarantined and treated the same as user devices that pass the endpoint scan.

  1. In the configuration utility, on the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand Citrix Gateway and then click Global Settings.
  2. In the details pane, under Settings, click Change global settings.
  3. On the Client Experience tab, click Advanced Settings.
  4. On the General tab, click Client Choices and then click OK.
