Finding Citrix StoreFront via Email Address

 

This is old news, and everyone should know this, but I have never found a site using it yet, so maybe someone wasn't paying attention in class, so here is how.

 

You must install a valid server certificate on the StoreFront before you start. Also the full chain to the root certificate must be valid.

1. Create a DNS Service Location (SRV) record
2. In DNS, Right-click your Forward Lookup Zone
3. Click on Other New Records, Create a Service Location (SRV)
4. Click in the Service box and enter the host value _citrixreceiver
5. Click in the Protocol box and enter the value _tcp
6. In the Host offering this service box, put the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and port for your StoreFront

You can use nslookup to test this:

1. Open command prompt, type nslookup
2. Type “set type=srv”
3. Type “_citrixreceiver._tcp.MyADdomain.com.au”
4. The response should be :

_citrixreceiver._tcp.MyADdomain.com.au SRV service location:

priority = 0
weight = 100
port     = 443
svr hostname = StoreFront.MyADdomain.com.au
