Connect Agent
The Browser Plug-ins (NPAPI, ActiveX, and Java Applet) are used to launch native applications such as Net-
Extender, Virtual Assist, EPC, and so on. For security reasons, popular browsers block theses Plug-ins. The
Chrome browser, for example, has disabled all NPAPI Plug-ins, and the newest Microsoft Edge browser does not
support ActiveX. As such, the ease-of-use ability of launching directly from the browser is no longer functional,
and a new method for seamless launching is necessary.
There is another application to launch that opens a specific Scheme URL. There are some Schemes already
defined in the Windows/OS X, such as mailto. The SMA Connect Agent uses the Scheme URL to replace the
Browser Plug-ins. The SMA Connect Agent is like a bridge that receives the Scheme URL requests and launches
the specific native application.
To launch the Citrix Receiver through a Citrix bookmark, you must first install the SMA Connect Agent.
