How to tell citrix receiver to ignore certificate error

[Commander Chen]

How to tell receiver to ignore any cert error it encounters and continue to setup account and connect anyway?

[Commander Chen]

And how to disable SSL for all XenDesktop connections?

Valid SSL is strongly recommended.

 

See http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX134341 to allow HTTP stores.

Hi cym104 

Bypassing the HTTPS check that is made by Citrix Workspace App/Receiver is possible ONLY within Windows clients but is very unwise.  it is not possible with MAC and Linux. 
 

Citrix does NOT recommend HTTP://StoreFront  base URLs or skipping the HTTPS:// check in CWA/Receiver or invalid/no certificates.

Simply make sure the CWA/Receiver client trusts the certificate on StoreFront or the gateway.  

 

In my experience it creates many more problems than it solves....
It allow AD passwords to be sent in the clear and easily intercepted
It breaks gateway integration with StoreFront.  
It also breaks Client Detection in Receiver for Web.

 

You can of course ignore this advice in debugging test environments but this is definitely not recommended in prod.
