We are using HP Thin Clients with Google Chrome to connect to our Citrix environment.
Citrix Receiver for Chrome is a native Chrome packaged app which usually enables users to discover virtual desktops and hosted applications from Chrome devices. Google and Citrix: Securing Enterprise Workspaces From Chromebooks in which in turn to Cloud. Google Chrome: Navigate to the Citrix Workspace Store or Citrix Storefront Store Select the resource you are trying to access - Application or Desktop Chrome will prompt a dialog box to save the '.ica' file.
Is there a way to get past the 'Detect Receiver' window when entering our Storefront URL? or is there a way to automate that process?
We're updating the Thin Clients through a management console scripted. so we can't use any user input. Also the Thin Clients have a Write Filter that is enabled. This means that everything done locally by the user will be forgotten after a restart.
When we choose 'Detect Receiver' and 'Already Installed' it works like a charm. Does it store these settings somewhere locally (registry or file)? If so, we could capture those settings and deploy them to all Thin Clients when updating them.
We already tried to set 'pluginAssistant' to false (did nothing) and 'protocolhandlers' to false ('Detect Receiver' is gone. but won't use local receiver anymore, just HTML).
Citrix Storefront: 3.14
Citrix XenApp: 7.17
Receiver Thin Client: 4.12
Chrome version: 80
Thanks in Advance.

Instead of deploying .cr file to many users, Google policies can be used to configure Receiver for Chrome. This works by using a new feature called App Management which was added in Google Chrome management console for admins to push Chrome app specific policies. To configure Receiver, admin needs to upload a policy text file which contains the settings.
This tool can be used to create/edit the policy file by following the steps mentioned below:
1) Upload an already created .txt google policy file or Enter the appropriate values.
2) Select Google policy as the format to save the information.
3) Click on save button to save the file on the local file system.
The saved policy file created can be directly uploaded in Google Chrome management console to push the policies to Receiver for Chrome.
Note: Google policy required for configuring Receiver for Chrome is currently a tech preview capability from Google. Please contact your Google Sales Representative to get access. Download free usb to sp2 converter.
This tool can also be used to create/edit the .cr file that can be distributed to the users to configure Receiver for Chrome in case you cannot use Google Policy.
