What is NetScaler gateway in Citrix?
NetScaler Gateway communicates with StoreFront to protect apps and data delivered by XenApp and XenDesktop. The user devices run Citrix Receiver to create a secure connection and access their apps, desktops, and files. Users log on and authenticate using NetScaler Gateway.
What is Citrix and how does it work?
The Citrix platform makes this secure access possible by giving users access to their physical office PCs. If users can access their office PCs, they can access all the applications, data, and resources they need to do their work.
What is Citrix remote PC access?
The Citrix platform makes this secure access possible by giving users access to their physical office PCs. If users can access their office PCs, they can access all the applications, data, and resources they need to do their work. Remote PC Access eliminates the need to introduce and provide other tools to accommodate teleworking.
Should I Be Afraid of the new XenApp and XenDesktop architecture?
Don’t forget you need to set your RDS licensing server and licensing method just like old versions of XenApp on any server you have installed the VDA agent on. Hope this guide helps with those new to XenApp and XenDesktop 7.x architecture. It’s nothing to be afraid of, it’s the same trusty XenApp and XenDesktop with a new skin and more features.
How many users does XenApp support?
Although the solution was designed to only support 500 users, the control layer components, responsible for supporting and maintaining the environment, are minimally utilized and are capable of much higher user loads with the inclusion of additional physical servers hosting XenApp virtual machines.
How many ports does NetScaler Gateway have?
This is especially important for NetScaler Gateway, which resides in the DMZ. The network is configured based on each physical server’s having four network ports:
What is Citrix Flexcast?
Citrix FlexCast Services Design Guides provide an overview of a validated architecture based on many common scenarios. Each design guide relies on Citrix Consulting best practices and in-depth validation by the Citrix Solutions Lab to provide prescriptive design guidance on the overall solution. Each FlexCast Services Design Guide incorporates generally available products and employs a standardized architecture, allowing multiple design guides to be combined into a larger, all-encompassing solution.
How many VLANs are there in a server?
The three VLANs are divided among the physical servers, NetScaler Gateway and remaining virtual servers as shown in Figure 4.
How many users can a single delivery controller support?
A single delivery controller can easily support the load of 500 users. However, to provide N+1 fault tolerance, a second virtual server will provide redundancy in case one virtual server fails.
What is a delivery controller?
The delivery controllers manage and maintain the virtualized resources for the environment. In order to support the resource layer design, the following components are required:
What is NetScaler Gateway?
NetScaler Gateway communicates with StoreFront to protect apps and data delivered by XenApp and XenDesktop. The user devices run Citrix Receiver to create a secure connection and access their apps, desktops, and files.

What is remote access in Citrix?
Remote PC Access is a feature of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops that enables organizations to easily allow their employees to access corporate resources remotely in a secure manner. The Citrix platform makes this secure access possible by giving users access to their physical office PCs. If users can access their office PCs, they can access all the applications, data, and resources they need to do their work. Remote PC Access eliminates the need to introduce and provide other tools to accommodate teleworking. For example, virtual desktops or applications and their associated infrastructure.
How to allow remote access to go into sleep mode?
To allow a Remote PC Access machine to go into a sleep state, add this registry setting on the VDA, and then restart the machine. After the restart, the operating system power saving settings are respected. The machine goes into sleep mode after the preconfigured idle timer passes. After the machine wakes up, it reregisters with the Delivery Controller.
How to stop remote user session?
By default, a remote user’s session is automatically disconnected when a local user initiates a session on that machine (by pressing CTRL+ATL+DEL). To prevent this automatic action, add the following registry entry on the office PC, and then restart the machine.
Can Linux VDA be used in 3D mode?
Linux VDA considerations. These considerations are specific to the Linux VDA: Use the Linux VDA on physical machines only in non-3D mode. Due to limitations on NVIDIA’s driver, the local screen of the PC cannot be blacked out and displays the activities of the session when HDX 3D mode is enabled.
When does the remote user have preference over the local user?
By default, the remote user has preference over the local user when the connection message is not acknowledged within the timeout period. To configure the behavior, use this setting:
Can I remote access my laptop?
The PC isn’t available for remote access until a user has logged on. Ensure that the Delivery Controllers or Cloud Connectors can be reached from the Wi-Fi network. You can use Remote PC Access on laptop computers. Ensure the laptop is connected to a power source instead of running on the battery.
Can Citrix be used on physical PCs?
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops can accommodate more use cases for physical PCs by using other types of machine catalogs. These use cases include:
What is NetScaler infrastructure?
Even in low or challenging bandwidth situations, NetScaler ensures the best mobile user experience by providing the best ICA transport over less than desirable network paths with support for Framehawk technology.
Is NetScaler fault tolerant?
While XenApp is built to be inherently fault-tolerant, NetScaler provides intelligent health monitoring of critical XenApp services and can redirect users away from issues before they can become disruptive to their session.
Can NetScaler be used in front of XenMobile?
By placing a NetScaler appliance in-front of your XenMobile Server, NetScaler can handle all decryption, encryption and authentication, freeing your MDM server(s) from those tasks and enhancing performance. Because NetScaler is responsible for offloading all SSL traffic in the DMZ, IT admins can securely place their MDM server on the internal network without having to worry about potential insecure connections.
What ports are used by the Delivery Controller and Director?
8. Firewall ports 80 and 443 will be used by Delivery Controller and Director. Just leave it to configure the rules automatically on Windows Firewall.
Is Notepad XA 75 available in Storefront?
You’ll be redirected to Common Tasks and you’ll see the Notepad delivery group now. Your app is now published and should be available in StoreFront or Web Interface as long as your new farm is hooked up to it. To make it stand out easily among all your other apps you can even name it “Notepad XA 75” and stick it right in the root.
Can I change the drive for the install on Citrix?
30. I would leave Citrix Receiver checked. You can change the drive for the install if you need to.
Does Storefront work on XenApp 7.5?
47. We know StoreFront will work but I just wanted to post this screenshot on Web Interface 5.4 for those of you that really wanted to see XenApp 7.5 on Web Interface 5.4. Launch Notepad and you’ve successfully published your first app on XenApp 7.5! Go explore publishing XenDesktop and RemotePC catalogs too. It’s not much different than what you just did.
