Citrix Secure Workspace Access browser extension for Chrome enables Citrix Workspace users with secure VPN-less access to intranet web applications from bookmarked URLs or links from email, chat, and other applications. Select App or Desktops from the Citrix StoreFront page to select the resources you need access to. When you click on a desktop or app, it should start a download. Click on the download to start the session. I use Citrix Workspace App on a daily basis. However, what you are referring to in the browser an extension, it is distinctly different from the app itself, which use entirely different protocols for connecting. Citrix Workspace app launches as an isolated process from the browser.

Objective

This article describes how to enable users to add non-secure (HTTP instead of HTTPS) stores using Receiver.
