A session profile contains the settings for user connections.

Session profiles specify the actions that are applied to a user session if the user device meets the policy expression conditions. Profiles are used with session policies. You can use the configuration utility to create session profiles separately from a session policy and then use the profile for multiple policies. You can only use one profile with a policy.

Configuring Network Settings for User Connections in a Session Profile

You can use the Network Configuration tab in the session profile to configure the following network settings for user connections:

  • DNS server
  • WINS server IP address
  • Mapped IP address that you can use as an intranet IP address
  • Spillover settings for address pools (intranet IP addresses)
  • Intranet IP DNS suffix
  • HTTP ports
  • Forced time-out settings

Configuring Connection Settings in a Session Profile

You can use the Client Experience tab in the session profile to configure the following connection settings:

  • Access Interface or customized home page
  • Web address for web-based email, such as Outlook Web Access
  • plug-in type (Citrix Gateway plug-in for Windows, Citrix Gateway plug-in for Mac OS X, or Citrix Gateway plug-in for Java)
  • Split tunneling

  • Clientless access

  • Default authorization action (allow or deny)
  • Secure Browse for connections from iOS devices
  • Quarantine groups

  • Web Interface portal mode
  • Single sign-on to the server farm domain

You can create session profiles independently of a session policy. When you create the policy, you can select the profile to attach to the policy.
