About Receiver Storefront

Citrix StoreFront authenticates users to XenDesktop sites, XenApp farms, and AppController, enumerating and aggregating available desktops and applications into stores that users access through Citrix Receiver or Receiver for Web sites. The StoreFront database records details of users’ application subscriptions to enable synchronization of those applications across all their devices.Receiver Storefront is an alternative to WebInterface in future. Has got very user interactive features.
Receiver Storefront installation is available as a role while installing xenapp 6.5 or you can download the setup from mycitrix.com and install it manually. While you have installed receiver storefront manually, you need to configure it via xenapp server role manager wizard.
After installing and configuring Receiver Storefront, we will find 5 options.
Authentication shows options, How the authentication must happen.
Stores operates as  services site(in WI).
Receiver for web operates as website(in WI). You can use it by right clicking on receiver for web and create new website.
Gateways option is for CAG
Beacons are used to determine users are from internal or external n/w
After creating Stores and Receiver for web, open your web browser and enter the web address that you created in Receiver for Web. If you want to use Receiver Storefront for Receiver, open preferences in your receiver and update the Stores address and save. Provide your username and pwd if prompted. Now you can access your applications as you do normally with WI. Reciever Storefront can also work behind CAG.
