Bind session policies and set the priority

After you configure session policies for StoreFront or Citrix Endpoint Management integration, you can bind the policies to a user, group, virtual server, or globally. Session policies are applied as a hierarchy in the following order:

  • Users
  • Groups
  • Virtual servers
  • Globally

If you configure two or more session policies for Receiver for Windows and Receiver for Mac, Receiver for Web, and the Citrix Gateway plug-in, you bind the policies and then you need to set the priority number for each policy.

Numerical priority takes precedence regardless of the level at which the policy is bound. If a policy that is bound globally has a priority number of one and another policy bound to a user has a priority number of two, the global policy takes precedence. A lower priority number gives the policy a higher precedence.

The Program Neighborhood Agent session policy receives the lowest priority number and the Citrix Gateway plug-in session policy receives the highest priority number. Citrix recommends setting the session policies in the following order to ensure that any change to the User-Agent header does not affect user connections:

  • Program Neighborhood Agent session policy
  • Receiver for Web
  • Receiver for Windows and Receiver for Mac
  • Citrix Gateway plug-in
