You can specify a temp home directory for cases where the mount point on the Linux VDA fails. With a temp home directory specified, a prompt shows during a session logon when the mount point fails. User data is then stored under the temp home directory.

The following table describes registry keys that help with your home directory settings.

Registry key	Description	Command
`LogNoHome`	Controls whether users can log on to sessions without a home directory. The default value is 1 and it means yes. If the value is set to 0, session logons without a home directory are disabled.	`create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix" -t "REG_DWORD" -v "LogNoHome" -d "0x00000001" --force`
`HomeMountPoint`	Sets a local mount point on the Linux VDA. For example, if `/mnt/home` is the mount point, a user’s home directory is `/mnt/home/domain/<user_name>`. Make sure that the mount point is the same as the user home directory in your environment. This setting takes effect only when `CheckUserHomeMountPoint` is set to 0.	`create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix" -t "REG_SZ" -v "HomeMountPoint" -d "<A directory where the NFS share is to be mounted>" --force`
`CheckUserHomeMountPoint`	Controls whether to set user-specific home directories as the mount point on the Linux VDA. If you want to set user-specific home directories as the mount point, set the value to 1. The default value is 0.	`ctxreg create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix" -t "REG_DWORD" -v "CheckUserHomeMountPoint" -d "0x00000001" --force`
`TempHomeDirectoryPath`	Sets a temp home directory on the Linux VDA in case the mount point fails. The default value is `/tmp`. The temp home directory setting takes effect only when the mount point determined by `HomeMountPoint` and `CheckUserHomeMountPoint` is unavailable. A temp home directory for a user is `/tmp/CTXSmf_user_id`.	`create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix" -t "REG_SZ" -v "TempHomeDirectoryPath" -d "</tmp by default>" --force`
`CheckMountPointRetryTime`	Sets the number of checks, at a frequency of once per second, on whether mounting is successful. The default value is 5.	`ctxreg create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix" -t "REG_DWORD" -v "CheckMountPointRetryTime" -d "0x000000010" --force`
`RemoveHomeOnLogoff`	Controls whether to remove temp home directories on user logoffs. 1 means yes. 0 means no.	`create -k "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Citrix" -t "REG_DWORD" -v "RemoveHomeOnLogoff" -d "0x00000000" --force`
