Problem:

I have just upgraded Citrix Receiver from version 3.0 to 3.1 and I found it only allows connections to HTTPS addresses, currently I am working on test servers so adding a certificate seemed a bit over the top.

The account URL must use the https:// prefix. This prefix assures a secure connection

Resolution:

There does not seem to be a way to allow HTTP in the GUI or the ADM but it can be done in the registry.

  • Open Regedit
  • Navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Citrix\AuthManager on a 32-bit machine or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\AuthManager on a 64-bit machine
  • Under AuthManager create a new String Value (Reg_SZ) with the name ConnectionSecurityMode and the Data Any

 

  • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\Dazzle on a 32-bit machine or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Citrix\Dazzle on a 64-bit machine
  • Under Dazzle modify the data of AllowAddStore to be A

 

  • Exit Citrix Receiver and restart it.

Thanks for this tip. We have a customer with a RADIUS token system and Secure Gateway (not using Access Gateway) and we removed the services (PNAgent) external site to prevent Receiver clients bypassing the OTP request. By allowing HTTP, local users can now use the Receiver :)
