Bypass HTTPS or SSL Requirement for Citrix Receiver


For those of you doing POCs or Testing Lab, here's how to disable SSL or HTTPS requirement for Citrix Receiver.

To bypass SSL, open regedit.exe on the client workstation and go to:

For 64-bit 

     HKLM\software\wow64\citrix\authmanager

For 32-bit

     HKLM\software\citrix\authmanager

Create string with value: 


     ConnectionSecurtiyMode = Any




And also, go to:

For 64-bit

       HKLM\software\wow64\citrix\dazzle\AllowAddStore

For 32-bit

     HKLM\software\citrix\dazzle\AllowAddStore

And set the value to "A" and restart the receiver. 



This is also useful for those troubleshooting connection between Citrix Receiver and Xenapp Server. But take note though that this is not recommended for production environment since you are exposing the user's credentials in the network.
