Single Sign ON is been one of the most significant feature in corporate IT environment. It allows users to launch provisioned apps and desktop without entering their credentials repetitively. Upon logging into Windows, the Citrix Receiver application starts in the background which also starts a process ssonsvr.exe. This Citrix Receiver Single Sign-On (SSO) process passes same credentials by which user is logged on the system to a Citrix Storefront. Based on the supplied credentials and its provisioned citrix apps and desktop resources, Citrix Storefront builds the icons of the published applications. Once application enumeration is completed, if user launches an application, the user will not be prompted to enter credentials again.
To achieve these result, few modification is required on the Storefront and locally installed Citrix Receiver.
