 According to the Policies page of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2308 documentation, Classic policies are a collection of settings that define how sessions, bandwidth, and security are managed for a group of users, devices, or connection types. You can apply policy settings to physical and virtual machines or to users. Classic policies can be filtered by various criteria, such as HTTP, IP, and TCP. These are the only options allowed when using Classic policies. Other options, such as CLIENT, SERVER, and DNS, are not valid filters for Classic policies.

 A resource location is a collection of resources that you use to deliver applications and desktops to users. It can include Citrix ADC, VDA, Active Directory Domain, and Hypervisor. These resources are required for hosting and managing the machines that deliver apps and desktops to users1. StoreFront, Citrix Director, Citrix Provisioning, and Database are not part of a resource location, but are components of the Citrix Cloud service2.

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.
