Hi again.

 

It doesn't work and from the client I see these requests after a successful smartcard logon:

 

Client request to storefront-vs

POST /Citrix/VDIWeb/Authentication/GetAuthMethods HTTP/1.1

 

Server response from storefront-vs

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

eXtensible Markup Language

  <?xml

  <authMethods

    xmlns="http://citrix.com/delivery-services/webAPI/2-6/authMethods">

    <method

      name="Certificate"

      url="SmartcardAuth/Login"/>

    <method

      name="CitrixAGBasic"

      url="GatewayAuth/Login"/>

    <method

      name="CitrixAuth"

      url="CitrixAuth/Login"/>

    </authMethods>

 

Client request to storefront-vs

POST /Citrix/VDIWeb/GatewayAuth/Login HTTP/1.1\r\n

 

This request never gets a response 

 

The client retries 5 times and then gives up.

 

Is /Citrix/VDIWeb/GatewayAuth/Login the correct authmethod?
