How do I get the Secure Browser Service Tech Preview?

Once you have successfullysigned upfor a Citrix Cloud account, log on to the portal athttps://citrix.cloud.com.

This the final step to integrate your on-premises StoreFront to the Secure Browser Service.

1. Add a new store by following the instructions at:
   https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/storefront/3-6/config-manage-stores/sf-create-store.html
   Note: Do not configure any settings for this store.
   
   

2. Download the PowerShell script attached to this article and execute the following:
   .\AddSecureBrowserToStore.ps1 -VirtualPath /Citrix/Store –Connectors "connector1.adtraining.lab","connector2.adtraining.lab"
   
   进口ant:
   - It is important to use the same name as the store created in step 1 in the VirtualPath parameter. For example, if you created a store named “SecureBrowser”, your VirtualPath will be “-VirtualPath /Citrix/SecureBrowser”
   
   - Use AddSecureBrowserTo3.0Store.ps1 if StoreFront 3.6+ SDK is not present.
   
   Note:Ensure your PowerShell execution policy is not set to Restricted.
