Application Prelaunch is a feature that allows users to launch applications faster by creating a session when the user logs on to Citrix Workspace app, before the user requests an application. This feature is enabled by Delivery Group and can be configured for all users or a subset of users1.

Session Sharing is a feature that allows users to launch multiple applications using the same session, reducing the load on the server and improving the user experience. This feature is enabled by default and can be configured using Citrix policies2.

 According to the Plan your StoreFront deployment document, for single server deployments you can install StoreFront on a non-domain-joined server but certain functionality will be unavailable; otherwise, StoreFront servers must reside either within the Active Directory domain containing your users’ accounts or within a domain that has a trust relationship with the user accounts domain unless you enable delegation of authentication to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sites or farms. All the StoreFront servers in a group must reside within the same domain. Therefore, server groups are not supported for non-domain-joined StoreFront servers (option D). Also, according to the User authentication document, when you configure a store, you specify the type of authentication service to use. By default, users are authenticated on StoreFront. Alternatively, you can delegate authentication to Citrix ADC or to the Delivery Controllers (option E). Authentication does not occur at the Domain Controller (option A) or at the Citrix ADC (option C) by default. Two-factor authentication is supported for non-domain-joined StoreFront servers (option B) as long as the authentication is delegated to Citrix ADC or Delivery Controllers.

When StoreFront must integrate with a third-party portal, the portal typically acts as the external system that captures user credentials, handles primary authentication, and then passes those credentials (usually via HTTP headers or basic authentication mechanisms) to StoreFront.

Citrix documentation notes that HTTP Basic authentication is the method suited for integrations where StoreFront must accept credentials from an external portal or non-Citrix authentication framework. This method allows StoreFront to validate credentials passed programmatically from the third-party system.

Why not the other options?

Unauthenticated: This provides anonymous access and does not support integration with authenticated external portals.

Domain pass-through: Requires a Windows-integrated authentication flow, not compatible with third-party portals.

Pass-through from NetScaler Gateway: This applies only when authentication is performed via Citrix Gateway, not an external custom portal.

Therefore, HTTP Basic is the appropriate authentication method for third-party portal integration.
