Advanced settings
To modify advanced settings for a website, open the Edit store website screen and select the Advanced settings tab.
Enable Fiddler tracing
Enables Fiddler tracing of the traffic between StoreFront services for debugging purposes. Loopback communication must also be disabled. This is off by default and should only be enabled if requested by support. Once you have completed troubleshooting, disable Fiddler tracing.
Enable Folder view
By default, on the Apps tab there is Categories view. To hide the Categories view, clear Enable folder view. Only applies to the classic experience. Has no effect when using the modern experience. For more information on display of categories, see Category settings.
Enable loopback communication
Enables direct communication between StoreFront services without going via the base URL. Enable when using a load balancer. Can be set to the following values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| On | The StoreFront web proxy communicates with the store service using the loopback address, ensuring that communication remains on the StoreFront server. |
| Off | The StoreFront web proxy communicates with the store service using the FQDN defined in the base URL. If the base URL is a load balancer then could result in communication being directed via the load balancer to a different StoreFront server, causing requests to fail. |
| On using HTTP | As On but changes the protocol from HTTP to HTTPS. Select this option when using load balancer that terminate HTTPS, connecting to StoreFront over HTTP. To change the port, see Loopback port when using HTTP |
Enable Protocol Handler
Enabled by default. When users open a store from a web browser, this allows the website to use Citrix Workspace launcher to attempt to detect whether Citrix Workspace app is installed and subsequently to launch resources.
Disabling this option can result in users downloading ICA files which is not recommended.
Enable strict transport security
When enabled, adds the Strict-Transport-Security header to tell browsers to only connect to the website over HTTPS.
ICA file cache expiry
The number of seconds for which an ICA file is cached in memory. Defaults to 90s.
Icon resolution
The icon file size to request from the server. Note this does not directly equate to the icon size displayed in the UI. The default is 128.
Loopback port when using HTTP
When Enable loopback communication is set to On using HTTP, this sets the port.
Prompt for untrusted shortcuts
When launching website shortcuts, by default, if the referrer is not in the list of trusted sites then the user is prompted to confirm. If you disable this then users can launch resource from non-trusted websites.
Prompt to install Citrix Workspace app after Logon
When a user first goes to the store website, the website attempts to detect Citrix Workspace app and provides the option to download Citrix Workspace app. By default, when accessing StoreFront directly, this occurs before the user logs in. Alternatively you can select Prompt to install Citrix Workspace app after logon. This has no effect when users log in via a Citrix Gateway as this always occurs before the user reaches the StoreFront Citrix Workspace app detection screen.
Resource details
Whether to fetch Default or Full resource details when using the Classic experience. Normally Default is sufficient. If you have a JavaScript customizations that uses the preProcessAppData, you can use the additional data returned by Full. Has no effect when using the modern experience.
Strict transport security policy duration
If Strict transport security is enabled, the duration for which the strict transport policy is imposed, in format dd.hh:mm:ss. The default is 90 days.
