Gateway

Configuring Single Sign-On with Windows

Users open a connection by starting the Citrix Secure Access client from the desktop. You can specify that the Citrix Secure Access client start automatically when the user logs on to Windows by enabling single sign-on. When you configure single sign-on, users’ Windows Logon credentials are passed to NetScaler Gateway for authentication. Enabling single sign-on for the Citrix Secure Access client facilitates operations on the user device, such as installation scripts and automatic drive mapping.

Enable single sign-on only if user devices are logging on to your organization’s domain. If single sign-on is enabled and a user connects from a device that is not on your domain, the user is prompted to log on.

You configure single sign-on with Windows either globally or by using a session profile that is attached to a session policy.
