Deploy Citrix Secure Access agent for user access
Citrix Gateway comes with the following plug-ins for user access:
- Citrix Secure Access agent for Windows
- Citrix Secure Access agent for Mac
When users log on to Citrix Gateway for the first time, they download and install the Citrix Secure Access agent from a webpage. Users log on by clicking the Citrix Gateway icon in the notification area on a Windows-based computer. On a macOS X computer, users can log on from the Dock or the Applications menu. If you upgrade Citrix Gateway to a new software version, the Citrix Secure Access agent updates automatically on the user device.
Deploy the Citrix Secure Access agent by using the MSI installer package
You can deploy the Citrix Secure Access agent by using a Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure or a standard third-party MSI deployment tool, such as Windows Server Update Services. If you use a tool that supports Windows Installer packages, you can deploy the packages with any tool that supports MSI files. Then, you use your deployment tool to deploy and install the software on the appropriate user devices.
- Ability to adhere to security requirements. For example, you can install user software without enabling software installation privileges for non-administrative users.
- Control over software versions. You can deploy an updated version of the software to all users simultaneously.
- Scalability. A centralized deployment strategy easily scales to support more users.
- Positive user experience. You can deploy, test, and troubleshoot installation-related issues without involving users in this process.
Citrix recommends this option when administrative control over the installation of user software is preferred and access to user devices is readily available.

Determine which software plug-in to deploy
If your Citrix Gateway deployment does not require any software plug-in on user devices, your deployment is considered to provide clientless access. In this scenario, users need only a Web browser to access network resources. However, certain features require the plug-in software on the user’s device.
