Install, set up, upgrade, and uninstall 编辑

Before installing and configuring

To install and configure StoreFront, complete the following steps in order:

1. If you plan to use StoreFront to deliver Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops resources to users, ensure that the StoreFront server is joined to either the Microsoft Active Directory domain containing your users’ accounts or a domain that has a trust relationship with the user accounts domain.

   Important:

   • For single server deployments you can install StoreFront on a non-domain-joined server.
   • StoreFront cannot be installed on a domain controller.

2. If not already present, StoreFront requires Microsoft .NET Framework, which can be downloaded from Microsoft. You must have Microsoft .NET installed before you can install StoreFront.

3. Optionally, if you plan to configure a multiple server StoreFront deployment, set up a load balancing environment for your StoreFront servers.

   To use Citrix ADC for load balancing, you define a virtual server to proxy your StoreFront servers. For more information on configuring Citrix ADC for load balancing, see Load balancing with Citrix ADC.

   1. Ensure that load balancing is enabled on your Citrix ADC appliance.

   2. For each StoreFront server, create individual HTTP or SSL load balancing services, as appropriate, using the StoreFront monitor type.

   3. Configure the services to insert the client IP address into the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header of requests forwarded to StoreFront, overriding any global policies.

      StoreFront requires users’ IP addresses to establish connections to their resources.

   4. Create a virtual server and bind the services to the virtual server.

   5. On the virtual server, configure persistence using either the Client IP or Cookie Insert method. Ensure the Time To Live (TTL) is sufficient to enable users to stay logged on to the server as long as required.

      Persistence ensures that only the initial user connection is load balanced, after which subsequent requests from that user are directed to the same StoreFront server.

4. Optionally, enable the following features.

   • .NET Framework Features > .NET Framework, ASP.NET

   Optionally, enable the following roles and their dependencies on the StoreFront server.

   • Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Common HTTP Features > Default Document, HTTP Errors, Static Content, HTTP Redirection

   • Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Health and Diagnostics > HTTP Logging

   • Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Security > Request Filtering, Windows Authentication

     The StoreFront installer checks that all the preceding features and server roles are enabled.

5. Install StoreFront.

   If you intend the server to be part of a server group, both the StoreFront installation location and IIS website settings, physical path and site IDs must be consistent across them.

6. Optionally, configure Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) for HTTPS if you plan to use HTTPS to secure communications between StoreFront and users’ devices.

   HTTPS is required for smart card authentication. By default, Citrix Workspace app requires HTTPS connections to stores. To configure IIS so that you can use an HTTPS hostbaseURL in StoreFront, create an HTTPS binding to the default website and link it to the StoreFront server certificate. For more information about adding HTTPS binding to an IIS site, see Secure your StoreFront deployment.

7. Ensure your firewalls and other network devices permit access to TCP port 80 or 443, as appropriate, from both inside and outside the corporate network. In addition, ensure that any firewalls or other devices on your internal network do not block traffic to any of the unassigned TCP ports.

   When you install StoreFront, a Windows Firewall rule is configured enabling access to the StoreFront executable through a TCP port randomly selected from all unreserved ports. This port is used for communications between the StoreFront servers in a server group.

8. If you plan to use multiple Internet Information Services (IIS) websites, after creating the websites in IIS, use the PowerShell SDK to create a StoreFront deployment in each of those IIS websites. For more information, see Multiple Internet Information Services (IIS) websites.

   Note:

   StoreFront disables the management console when it detects multiple sites and displays a message to that effect.

9. Use the Citrix StoreFront management console to configure your server.

Install StoreFront

Important

To avoid potential errors and data loss when installing StoreFront, ensure all applications are closed and no other tasks or operations are running on the target system.

1. Download the installer from the download page.

2. Log on to the StoreFront server using an account with local administrator permissions.

3. Ensure that the required Microsoft .NET Framework is installed on the server.

4. Locate CitrixStoreFront-x64.exe, and run the file as an administrator.

5. Read and accept the license agreement, and click Next.

6. If the Review prerequisites page appears, click Next.

7. On the Ready to install page, check the prerequisites and StoreFront components that are listed for installation and click Install.

   Before the components are installed, the following roles are enabled if they are not already configured on the server.

   • Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Common HTTP Features > Default Document, HTTP Errors, Static Content, HTTP Redirection

   • Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Health and Diagnostics > HTTP Logging

   • Web Server (IIS) > Web Server > Security > Request Filtering, Windows Authentication

   • Web Server (IIS) > Management Tools > IIS Management Console, IIS Management Scripts and Tools

   The following features are also enabled if they are not already configured.

   • .NET Framework Features > .NET Framework, ASP.NET

8. When the installation is complete, click Finish. The Citrix StoreFront management console starts automatically. You can also open StoreFront from the Start screen.

   

9. In the Citrix StoreFront management console, click Create a new deployment.

   1. Specify the URL of the StoreFront server in the Base URL box.
   2. On the Store Name page, specify a name for your store, and click Next.

On the Delivery Controllers page, enter details of the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployments that that provide the resources you want to make available in the store.

1. Set the Transport type and the Port, such as HTTP and port 80, or HTTPS and port 443, and click OK.

2. On the Remote Access page, select None. If you are using Citrix Gateway, select No VPN Tunnel and enter your gateway details.

3. On the Remote Access page, select Create. Once the store has been created, click Finish.

Your store is now available for users to access through the Citrix Receiver for Web site, which enables users to access their desktops and apps through a webpage.

The URL for users to access the Citrix Receiver for Web site for the new store is displayed. For example: example.net/Citrix/StoreWeb/. Log on and you access the new user interface in Citrix Workspace app.

To install StoreFront at a command prompt

1. Log on to the StoreFront server using an account with local administrator permissions.

2. Ensure that the requirements for installation of StoreFront are met before installing StoreFront. Refer to Before installing and configuring for details.

3. Browse your installation media or download package, locate CitrixStoreFront-x64.exe, and copy the file to a temporary location on the server.

4. At a command prompt, navigate to the folder containing the installation file and type the following command.

   CitrixStoreFront-x64.exe [-silent] [-INSTALLDIR installationlocation] [-WINDOWS_CLIENT filelocation\filename.exe] [-MAC_CLIENT filelocation\filename.dmg]
