Refer to the following sections for details on testing the Workspace Receiver application, HTML5 Web Socket Connection, and troubleshooting.

Testing Workspace Receiver Application

Create a DNS record or Host File entry to point to your Citrix StoreFront Gateway Virtual Service IP address. You should be greeted with a Progress Kemp logon page. If you are using SAML, you are redirected to your IDP.

After you have successfully authenticated, click Detect Receiver. If your Citrix Workspace or Receiver application is installed, your browser should automatically detect it.

From your application store, launch a Virtual application or Virtual Desktop. Your browser should now ask if you would like to launch your application using Workspace or Receiver. If it is unable to detect either, it will download your ICA file. Locate your ICA File and either double-click or right-click and launch with Workspace or Receiver.

If you receiver an error, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Note: Please ensure that you are not testing using a Self-Signed Certificate as Workspace/Receiver will close the SSL connection.

Testing HTML5 Web Socket Connection

If you have enabled the WebSocket policy on your StoreFront server and have configured your Citrix StoreFront Gateway Virtual Service using the HTML5 Template or PowerShell script, you can test by selecting Use Light Version upon your initial login, or navigate to Account Settings > Change Citrix Receiver > Use Light Version.

From your application store, launch a Virtual application or Virtual Desktop. Your browser should now launch your application from a new browser tab.

If you receive an error, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
