The correct answer is D. Citrix Receiver was installed without enabling the /includeSSON parameter. Domain pass-through (Single Sign-On) in Citrix Receiver requires the SSON component to be installed, which is only included when Receiver is deployed with the /includeSSON command-line parameter. Without it, the component is absent and users are always prompted for credentials.
Question
Scenario: A Citrix Administrator configures domain pass-through for a Citrix StoreFront store and installs Citrix Receiver on the client devices. However, after the client devices are restarted, the users are prompted for username and password. What could be causing this issue?
Options
- AStoreFront is NOT using an SSL certificate.
- BNetScaler Gateway is NOT configured on StoreFront.
- CDelivery Controllers are configured to trust XML requests.
- DCitrix Receiver was installed without enabling the /includeSSON parameter.

Why each option
Domain pass-through (Single Sign-On) in Citrix Receiver requires the SSON component to be installed, which is only included when Receiver is deployed with the /includeSSON command-line parameter. Without it, the component is absent and users are always prompted for credentials.
SSL certificates affect transport security between Receiver and StoreFront but are not a prerequisite for SSON to pass Windows credentials - pass-through can function without HTTPS in certain configurations.
NetScaler Gateway integration is required for external pass-through scenarios but is not necessary for internal domain pass-through authentication, which operates directly between Receiver and StoreFront.
Configuring Delivery Controllers to trust XML requests affects credential validation between StoreFront and the Controller but would not cause Receiver to prompt the user for a username and password on the client device.
The /includeSSON parameter installs the Single Sign-On (ssonsvr.exe) component of Citrix Receiver, which intercepts Windows credentials at logon and passes them transparently to StoreFront. If Receiver is installed without this switch, the SSON service is never registered and pass-through authentication cannot function, resulting in explicit credential prompts after every restart.
