Selecting the Citrix Gateway plug-in for Users

When you configure Citrix Gateway, you can choose how users log on. Users can log on with one of the following plug-ins:

  • Citrix Gateway plug-in for Windows
  • Citrix Gateway plug-in for Mac OS X
  • Citrix Gateway plug-in for Java

You complete the configuration by creating a session policy and then binding the policy to users, groups, or virtual servers. You can also enable plug-ins by configuring global settings. Within the global or session profile, you select either Windows/Mac OS X or Java as the plug-in type.
