How to force IGEL OS to force using a legacy client?


Something has changed in the way you connect to citrix from 10.04.190 to 10.05.xxx 10.05.xxx. If I login in a Firefox session through Netscaler, after you login and open a Xendesktop, in the 10.04.190 the session is opened by the legacy Receiver, and now it is opened by the HTML5 Receiver. How can I force it to open the legacy client?

What do you have configured in Storefront? Use HTML client if no Receiver is available?

Have a look at

Citrix Storefront 3.16 HTML5 and Receiver for Linux Issue

If you are running Storefront 3.16 (1808) and the Receiver for Linux, ensure you have ‘Install Locally’ set rather than ‘Use Receiver for HTML5 if local Recevier is unavailable’ then your XenApp desktops/apps will launch.


Thanks Carl 😉


Some must have changed in the way Storefront detects later Receiver versions.
