Is anyone else using published desktops on Windows 2008 R1 x64 using Citrix XenApp 5? If so, do you also use the XenApp Hosted Apps plugin (formerly the Program Neighborhood Agent) to launch published apps from the published desktop?
I can't get pass-through authentication to work *at all *from the plugin running on a published desktop. It asks for your password between two and six times before accepting your login. It then asks for your password if you launch an app or change any settings. We are thinking about moving onto this new platform - however, as we have a multitude of small published apps running out there, this will be a big non-starter if it can't be resolved. Passthrough is configured on the site on the web interface and it works OK when connecting from XP or Win7 desktops, using the old v10 agent and the new v11. The published desktops don't work no matter what version you install. Our old server 2003 desktops connect just fine to our MPS 4.5 published apps, so I can't understand why this is behaving as such in the (allegedly newer and better) version. I've seen articles about enabling Kerberos and such like to make this work - seems to have no effect. There is also the comment someone has posted from the v11 readme which seems to indicate it is a v11 bug - *Pass-through authentication is not available when accessing a published application from a published desktop. The user must provide valid credentials to launch a session within a desktop session even when pass-through authentication is enabled in the plugin.* - This doesn't explain why v10 does exactly the same thing, though. Has anyone out there got this working, or encountered the same problem? If it is a bug, then I'd have expected Citrix to have fixed it by now. I'm on the verge of firing up XenApp 6 tech preview to see if it has been fixed in that - although seeing as it is still a tech preview, even if it worked it wouldn't help me out much. Please feel free to flame me for more information, as I'm a little hot and stressed and have probably missed something vital out of my diatribe.
