Deploy

A best practice is to configure Citrix Gateway and StoreFront 3.x as described in the documentation for those products. For more information, see Citrix Gateway and StoreFront documentation. Send the provisioning file created by StoreFront to the user through email. Inform them how to upgrade and how to open the provisioning file after installing Citrix Workspace app for Mac.

As an alternative to using a provisioning file, tell users to enter either the URL of a Citrix Gateway. If you have configured email-based account discovery as described in the StoreFront documentation, tell users to enter their email address.

Another method is to configure a Citrix Receiver for a website as described in the StoreFront documentation. Inform users how to upgrade Citrix Workspace app for Mac, access the Citrix Receiver for website, and download the provisioning file from the Citrix Receiver for website. Click the user name and then click Activate.

With StoreFront, the stores you create consist of services that provide authentication and resource delivery infrastructure for Citrix Workspace app for Mac. Create stores that count and aggregate desktops and applications from Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS sites and Citrix Virtual Apps, making these resources available to users.

Install and configure StoreFront. For more information, see StoreFront documentation.

Note:

For administrators who need more control, Citrix provides a template you can use to create a download site for Citrix Workspace app for Mac.

Configure stores for CloudGateway just as you would for other Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) applications. No special configuration is needed for Citrix Workspace app for Mac. For more information, see Configuring Stores in the StoreFront documentation.

Email-based account discovery

You can configure Citrix Workspace app for Mac to use email-based account discovery. When configured, users enter their email address rather than a server URL during the initial Citrix Workspace app for Mac installation and configuration.

Citrix Workspace app for Mac determines the Citrix Gateway, or StoreFront server associated with the email address based on Domain Name System (DNS) Service (SRV) records. Then it prompts the user to log on to access their hosted applications and desktops.

To configure your DNS server to support email-based discovery, see the Configuring Email-based Account Discovery section in the StoreFront documentation.

For more information, see Citrix Gateway documentation.

Provisioning file

You can use StoreFront to create provisioning files containing connection details for accounts. You make these files available to your users to enable them to configure Citrix Workspace app for Mac automatically. After installing Citrix Workspace app for Mac, users simply open the file to configure Citrix Workspace app for Mac. If you configure Citrix Receiver for websites, users can also obtain Citrix Workspace app for Mac provisioning files from those sites.

For more information, see StoreFront documentation.

Setup URL

You can use the Citrix Workspace app for Mac Setup URL Generator to create a URL containing account information. After installing Citrix Workspace app for Mac, users simply click the URL to configure their account and access their resources. Use the utility to configure settings for accounts and email or post that information to all your users at once.

If providing users with account details to enter manually, ensure you distribute the following information to enable them to connect to their hosts and desktops successfully:

For more information about configuring Citrix Gateway, see Citrix Gateway documentation.

When a user enters the details for a new account, Citrix Workspace app for Mac attempts to verify the connection. If successful, Citrix Workspace app for Mac prompts the user to log on to the account.

Workspace for the Web

You can deploy Citrix Workspace app for Mac from Workspace for the Web to ensure that users have it installed before connecting to an application from a browser. Citrix Receiver for websites enables users to access StoreFront stores through a Webpage.

If a user does not have a compatible version of Citrix Workspace app for Mac, the user is prompted to download and install Citrix Workspace app for Mac. For more information, see StoreFront documentation.
