One of my new user was having this problem, whereas whenever he launched Citrix applications, the application launched within another window (Windowception???). This issue was only occurred to him, but not to other users. Hence, it was safely said the issue is user-related, and not farm-wide.
Issues : Application did not launch in Seamless mode, but inside another window session (in this case, the published application was Notepad).
Troubleshooting ** Note that these steps are to be taken from User ends, not the infra**
Ask the user to access Citrix Web Interface as usual.
Go to Preference > Session Settings
Take note on 'Window size:' column
Resolution :
Change current Window size to Seamless, and press Save.
I received a request by my clients to enable pass-through to their Citrix Web Interface site. Not more than a few minutes after completion, they made a few complaints, saying that they needed to supply their credentials every time they launched published applications, which defeats the Single Sign-On (SSO) purposes. After a few minutes of troubleshooting, I realized that, in order to enable pass-through, there are more steps need to be taken, not simply enabling the feature.
Description :
Properly enabling Pass-Through, so users wot have to supply credentials every time they launched Citrix published applications, as below :
How To Do :
Uninstall current installed Citrix Receiver
Once un-installation completed, open command prompt, and type CMD
Browse to the installer location, and run command ( CitrixReceiver.exe /includeSSON )to install Receiver with SSON enabled
Proceed with installation
When you can see this in Programs and Features, it means the installation is already completed.
Go to start > run and type GPEDIT.MSC
Add new ADM template for this purpose, by choosing Add/Remove Templates...
Press Add.
Add the template which can be located at this path (%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\ICA Client\Configuration ). The file name is icaclient.adm
Template added. Press Close

This is the outcome, press Apply and OK
