Setup Email Account-Based Discovery for Citrix Receiver

Setup Email Account-Based Discovery for Citrix Receiver -

Configuration Discovery-Based Email account

Add DNS 1 Location (SRV) to allow email focused on the discovery

During the initial configuration, Citrix Receiver can contact Directory Domain Name System (DNS) active servers for details on stores available the users. This means that users need not know the access details to their stores when they install and configure Citrix Receiver. Instead, users enter their email addresses and contact Citrix Receiver DNS server for the domain specified in the e-mail address to obtain the required information.

To enable Citrix Receiver to locate the stores available on the basis of users' email addresses, configure Service Location (SRV) localization resource records for Access Gateway or connections StoreFront / AppController on your server DNS. If no SRV record is found, Citrix Receiver research in the specified domain for a machine named "discoverReceiver" to identify a StoreFront / AppController server.

You must install a valid server certificate on the Access Gateway and StoreFront / AppController server to allow discovery based email account. The complete chain of the root certificate should be valid. For the best user experience, install a certificate with a name entry of the object or subject of discoverReceiver. domain , or a wildcard certificate for the domain containing the email accounts of your users.

to allow users to configure Citrix Receiver using an email address, you must add an SRV record to your DNS zone.

Log into your DNS server
In DNS> Right-click your forward lookup zone
Click New Records

scroll to Service Location (SRV)
Email account-Based Configuration Discovery
Choose Create registration

Click in the service area and enter the value of the host _citrixreceiver
Click in the Protocol box and enter the value _tcp
in the host area provide this service, specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and the port of your Access Gateway appliance (to support local and remote users) or StoreFront / AppController server (to help users on LAN only)

Note: Your StoreFront FQDN must be unique and different from the Virtual server Access Gateway FQDN. Using the same FQDN for StoreFront and the Access Gateway virtual server are not supported. Citrix Receiver requires the FQDN StoreFront is a unique address that is only resolvable user devices connected to the internal network. If this is the case, the receiver for Windows users can not use the account discovery based email.

2 Audit SRV record using nslookup

You can use nslookup to verify that the SRV record is correctly configured in DNS:

command prompt Open
Type nslookup
Type "set type = srv"
Type "_citrixreceiver._tcp.mycompany. com"

The answer to your external DNS should be something like this:

_citrixreceiver._tcp.mycompany.com SRV service location:

priority = 0

weight = 100

port = 443

svr hostname = vpndemo.mycompany.com

3 Configuring Netscaler Access Gateway

to allow users to configure Citrix Receiver from a remote location, you must add the StoreFront / AppController session URL of your profile Netscaler Access Gateway.

Log in Netscaler management console
node in the Access Gateway, create a new profile session or open an existing session profile for Aboriginal receivers.
Click the Applications tab Published
next to Account Services Address, click Replace overall and enter the StoreFront / AppController URL. (Example: https: // < StoreFront/AppController URL> / Citrix / Roaming / Accounts)
