StoreFront Web API

Write a new Web UI or integrate StoreFront into your own Web portal

Receiver for Web is a component of Citrix StoreFront providing access to applications and desktops using a Web browser. It comprises a User Interface tier and a StoreFront Services Web Proxy tier. This architecture is illustrated below.

The Web Proxy tier is a bridge between the UI tier and the StoreFront Services (namely the Authentication Service and the Store Service). It provides a simplified API suitable for consumption by a JavaScript/Ajax client running in a Web browser.

The main operations available through this API include:

• Authenticating users through a variety of methods: explicit forms, domain pass-through, smart card, NetScaler Gateway Single Sign-On and post credentials.
• Enumerating applications/desktops.
• Enumerating available HDX sessions.
• Reconnecting, disconnecting and logging off HDX sessions.
• Launching applications/desktops.
• Powering off specific VDI desktops.
• Retrieving images and icons for applications/desktops.
• Subscribing to applications.

This API is useful for anyone who wants to write a new Web UI or integrate StoreFront into their own Web portal.
