NetScaler Insight Center - a powerful and simple solution for Citrix -

We are pleased to announce the availability of NetScaler Insight Center, a solution that provides unprecedented visibility to applications that are served by NetScaler appliances including XenApp / XenDesktop sessions, and web applications.

NetScaler Insight Center overcomes the limitations of methods and technologies to fully meet the challenges of demand visibility faced by traditional companies today. With an approach that leverages NetScaler ADC Insight Center combines network-based instrumentation - which is both the network and application-aware - with an effective and powerful management system capable of transforming raw data in information

for a long time. time now, the devices were NetScaler AppFlow operator, open technology standards including by application level flow and data networking. These data are often collected by third parties to provide information per session. Now NetScaler Insight Center is the central point for the collection of the application and data networking sent AppFlow NetScaler appliances. The solution not only acts as a rich repository for application data, but also is a management suite for monitoring, analysis and reporting of the implementation of performance indicators.

NetScaler Insight Center addresses concerns following common users face today never -evolving mobile and cloud era:

1. The applications are growing in a dynamic distributed environment IT still interlaced such as mobile devices, mobile applications, virtual desktops hosted, and hybrid clouds. Gaining visibility for applications in a diverse environment is difficult and not a simple task.

2. hybrid environments with both public and private clouds pose their own challenges visibility due to the inability to deploy agents or taps in a public cloud environment, and compel organizations.

3. Most companies are stuck in a situation characterized by unsuccessful finger-pointing, persistent performance problems, and the inability to reliably deliver a truly exceptional customer experience. This is due to the lack of simple and effective tools that help solve problems or report user problems in a timely manner.

Traditionally solutions available that provide visibility into the networking and applications sometimes miss the mark and can give visibility to the network or application. The requirement is to offer a solution that can easily correlate the networking of data and applications to help improve the user experience. Such solutions are generally cumbersome to configure with multiple points of contact and deter IT organizations to adopt them because of their complexity

NetScaler Insight Centre is both powerful and easy -. A solution that operates strategically placed NetScaler appliances and open standards AppFlow technology to consolidate and correlate both network and application data for simple information and easy to manage. This information can then be used to obtain valuable information about users, applications and network troubleshooting and capacity planning. This eliminates the need for valves of the network, agents and control points across the network.

IT administrators can quickly and easily get answers to numerous operational and strategic issues exploiting the rich underlying data associated with very flexible data presentation capabilities, particularly for Web applications and XenApp / XenDesktop. For example:

  • If a user is experiencing delays in access to a particular application, but the client time and return are acceptable server, this would imply a problem with the server associated implementation;
  • a complaint from a bad session VoIP user can indicate a high jitter between the client device and corresponding NetScaler appliance and involve a problem with the client-side network; and
  • A group of users experiencing poor performance and high travel time to and from the corresponding servers and NetScaler suggest a congestion problem with intermediate switches.

With HDX Insight for XenApp and XenDesktop traffic and Web Insight for Web traffic, NetScaler Insight Center provides powerful correlation capabilities and a complete single solution from Citrix to meet complex challenges demand visibility of today.

Desktop Transformation - Doing it Right -

At Citrix Consulting, we have a lot of experience to help customers deploy desktop virtualization solutions quickly and successfully. Engagements can range in size from a tactical implementation to a specific user group with a strategic solution for enterprise-wide virtualization. That commitment is big or small, Citrix Consulting follows the same methodology to assess the "who, where, when, and why" Before designing or deploying a desktop virtualization solution.

  1. identify and prioritize key business drivers
  2. Divide users into groups based on common requirements
  3. Assess the requirements of the application to determine the best method of delivery
  4. reduce time to value by focusing on the user groups that provide the greatest impact and the shortest deployment time

Following this process ensures that we do not lack a key business driver, the user needs or typical application. - one can affect the look and feel of the final solution

Citrix Synergy is not only a great place to learn Citrix on new technologies, but also how to deploy Citrix technology successfully in the real world. If you are preparing for a desktop transformation project and is currently working with a client who is, I encourage you to participate in SYN317 where Andy Baker and I will guide you through the key steps so you can begin your good office processing way.

A case of using RBAC to manage user accounts Agee

A case of using RBAC to manage user accounts Agee -

Abstract:

Role Based Access Control (RBAC) plays an important role in the separation of roles and separate privileges. Roles are assigned to each user and policies are created to enforce access to objects (entities) by the subjects (roles). This particular blog describes a use case management Agee user accounts (requested in Using Role Based Access Control (RBAC) to safely manage the NetScaler configuration).

A commandSpec is a regular expression through which permission to run configuration commands on NetScaler are determined. A commandPolicy may permit or orders present in a commandSpec deny. A user will have only the permissions that are defined by the commandPolicy

commandSpec creation procedure that will allow the user to add / delete user accounts Agee :.

Assuming the administrator has followed the steps to create the ELDERLY NetScaler server and a user user1 is created

  • the commandPolicy (of add_aaa) is created with the following :. commandSpec

add add_aaa of commandPolicy ALLOW system (^ add s + [a-zA-Z0-9] + s + (by + aaa s + user - password) s + $.) | (^ (Rm | bind | unbind | set) s + aaa s + s + user +) |. (^ Show s + aaa s + user *) | .. (^ show s + vpn s + intranetApplication *)

As shown in capture screen, valid commands are shown in green and commands that do not correspond with the commandSpec are shown in red.

above commandSpec can be divided into the following: "(^ add s + aaa s + user of + [a-zA-Z0-9_] + s + (- password) s +. + $) "

1)

Authorize user1 to add new users Agee

2). . "(^ (Rm | bind | unbind | set) s + aaa s + user s + +)"

Authorize user1 to (a) remove an existing AGED user, (b) bind / unbind an SSL / VPN user intranetApplication or intranetIP and (c) set the new password to the user ELDERLY.

3) "(^ show s + aaa s + user. *)"

allow user1 to the list of existing users Agee. User1 can select a user and AGEE remove him or change user property.

4) "(^ show s + vpn s + intranetApplication. *)"

allow user1 to see intranetApplications available. This is necessary if commandSpec user1 wants to change the settings for intranetApplication Agee users.

  • The "add_aaa" commandSpec is related to user1.
  • Now using the above control policy user1 will have permissions to add / delete or set properties for Agee users.

Thus, using RBAC, a user can easily manage user accounts Agee without affecting other settings.

Простая Маршрутизация в XenServer 6.1

Простая Маршрутизация в XenServer 6.1 -

Недавно у меня появилась необходимость в маршрутизации между офисной сетью и лабой.

Лаба представляет из себя XenServer с двумя реальными сетевыми адаптерами. Один интерфейс смотрит в локальную сеть, а второй интерфейс соединен с внутренними лабораторными ресурсами, там есть своя Microsoft инфраструктура XenMobile Solution Bundle и т.д. Для исключения конфликта с DHCP для исключения сетевых проблем, наподобие броадкаст шторма и BPDU guard необходимо лабораторную сеть на уровне ip отделить от офисного сегмента.

Обычно для этого используют Vyatta роутер. Это достаточно функциональный маршрутизатор в виде виртуальной машины с дружественным для сетевого специалиста интерфейсом похожим на смесь Cisco и Juniper . Те, кто с технологиями Microsoft дружит больше, чем с сетевыми вещами, поднимают роутинг на Wndows server . Мне оба этих варианта не подходили. Сделать отдельную виртуальную машину для роутинга я не мог, потому что был очень ограничен в Equipment ресурсах. Говоря по правде XenServer располагался на обычной рабочей станции. Поднимать маршрутизацию на Windows Server'е тоже было проблемой, потому что по вышеописанным причинам выделить виртуалку для этого нельзя, а все существующие виртуальные машины используются по максимуму в экспериментах и ​​иногда не выдерживают, глючат и так далее .

Поэтому было принято волевое решение поднять роутинг на самом Linux -ядре DOM -0 XenServer'а . Это тоже не очень правильно, загружать DOM -0 подобной не специфической нагрузкой, но с другой стороны это не противоречит концепции Software Defined Network работает же Virtual Swith и ни чего ...

Разрешить роутинг в ядре не проблема - ищется в google менее чем за одну минуту:

To enable these options to edit / etc / sysctl.conf and add or uncomment the following lines:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Как только опция была включена, ping'и сразу заработали. Но по of RDP к Widows Server'ам стенда не получалось. Первое, на что пало подозрение - это не отключенный Windows Firewall . Отключил - картина не поменялась. Второе на что пало подозрение - это просто на Windows . Я решил на уровне сетевой карты посмотреть, доходит ли вообще TCP SYN на порт 3389. Можно было это сделать на контроллере Distributed Virtual Swith , но мне показалось проще поставить на Windows сниффер Microsoft Network Monitor . В итоге пинги приходящие на Windows я увидел TCP на порты 22, 80 и 443 тоже увидел. После этого стало понятно, что где-то по пути на сетевом уровне стоит firewall . Варианта оставалось два

1. Distributed Virtual Switch - его я посмотрел - запрещающих правил нет. Для уверенности на каждом уровне добавил в явном виде " allow a whole ".

2. XenServer iptable на ядре linux . Тут действительно была проблема:

/ etc / sysconfig / iptables:

# Firewall configuration written by redhat-config-securitylevel
# manual customization of this file is not recommended
* filter
: INPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
ACCEPT BEFORE [0:0]
: EXIT ACCEPT [0:0]
: RH-Firewall- 1-INPUT - [0:0]
-A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT
-A FORWARD -j HR- Firewall-1-INPUT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall- 1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp any kind j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 - j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -dport 631 j ACCEPT
-A RH -firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -dport 631 j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -dport 67 - ACCEPT in xenapi interface j
status -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -state ESTABLISHED, RELATED -j ACCEPT
[1945006l'étatde] -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -state NEW -m udp -p udp -dport 694 j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - m state -state NEW -m tcp -p tcp -dport 22 j ACCEPT
state -state NEW -m tcp -m -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -dport 80 j ACCEPT
state -state NEW tcp -m -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -dport 443 j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT -reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
COMMIT
У меня не стояло задач тонкой настройки firewall'а , поэтому самым простым решением мне показалось разрешить все. Для уверенности, что я не забуду отредактировать все необходимые файлы, перезапустить все демоны и т.д., я решил воспользоваться встроенной утилитой c графическим интерфейсов в стиле accepted> Next-> Next-> Next-> Finish .
system-config-securitylevel-tui
После этого связность локальной сети и сети лабы была по всем портам и по всем протоколам.
В дополнение я поставил на автозапуск ключевые виртуальные машины, в т.ч. DOM -0. Но это так, на всякий случай и для удобства. . Подробнее написано здесь

OpenPegasus CIM Server (cimserver) memory leak troubleshooting tips

8:16 PM Add Comment
OpenPegasus CIM Server (cimserver) memory leak troubleshooting tips -

There is no secret that there are memory leaks in our CIM Server and it seems that not only XenServer has such problems. Recetly I spent some time helping my colleague troubleshooting problem like this and decided to share following the procedures


Procedure 1 :. Using database files

  1. Set destination and the core file pattern:
     sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern = "... / var / tmp / core% e% h% p "-q kernel sysctl .core_pattern 

    above the set file core sales pitch commands is as follows:

     /var/tmp/core. [.  
  2. Change /etc/init.d/openpegasus file and add ulimit -c unlimited line before cimserver begins.
    Or apply patch below on /etc/init.d/openpegasus
     *** / etc /init.d/openpegasus .00 04/05/2013 14: 39: 48.000000000 0530 --- /etc/init.d/openpegasus 05/04/2013 14: 31: 42.000000000 0530 ******* **** **** start () {*** **** 11.16 --- 11.17 ---- stop () {echo -n "stop OpenPegasus ..." ulimit -c unlimited + / opt / OpenPegasus / bin / cimserver -s echo "done." } 

    To apply this patch:

    • save a text file in XenServer dom0, namely: /root/cim.patch
    • run Patch
  3. cimserver Restart
     Service OpenPegasus restart 
  4. When cimserver begins consume abnormal amount of memory kill cimserver with SIGABRT (6) signals.
     -SIGABRT kill $ (pgrep cimserver) 
  5. Check new file / var / tmp / core.


Procedure 2 :. Using part of valgrind

  1. Stop cimserver watchdog
     touch / opt / xs-cem-cmpi / watchdog-off 
  2. Set cimserver running in the foreground:
     / opt / OpenPegasus / bin / daemon cimconfig -s = false -p 
  3. Start cimserver using valgrind
     valgrind --leak-check = - -log complete file = / root / cimserver.valgrind% p.Log --trace-children = yes / opt / OpenPegasus / bin / cimserver 
  4. When problem occurs stop valgrind and collect log file / var / tmp
    Follow remaining steps back cimconfig original configuration.
  5. cimserver Set to run in the background:
     / opt / OpenPegasus / bin / cimconfig -s daemon = true -p 
  6. Enable monitoring:
     rm - vF / opt / xs-cem-IPMC / watchdog-off 

Using the API App Orchestration through different web technologies (Part 2)

7:15 PM Add Comment
Using the API App Orchestration through different web technologies (Part 2) -

Hope you had a chance to take a look at Part 1 to see how the use the API App Orchestration using webforms. In the next part of the series, we will look to do the same, but this time using MVC. MVC is the latest and Microsoft's ASP technology, mixing C # / VB syntax language with basic HTML elements. Things look much cleaner and are easier to manage in MVC and webforms old school. It is about as good as you can get help from server-side scripts. (If you do not let the Microsoft umbrella :.))

The created project I was using Visual Studio 2012 using MVC 4. Visual Studio has a fine on the box project that uses integrated Windows authentication. This allows us to demostrate another way to access the API - the ImplictAuthContext. I just added the ApiContext my HomeController, but in a more complex example you want to store it separately and access from a base controller class to not constantly installing and dismantling of context each controller initialization.

Let's take a look at the code for this:

 public virtual async Task  Index () {ApiContext = new ImplicitAuthContext (DefaultApiServiceAddress); ApiContext.GlobalSettings.Get global var = (); ViewBag.Message = string.Format ( "Are we licensed {0}", Global.IsLicensed?) 

Note two things here:

  1. The keyword async . the API allows you to enjoy this new .NET functionality and make asynchronous calls. (More on that in a moment.)
  2. you can store the results in the ViewBag then display them on the view. Here, I show a simple query to check the status of the App Orchestration license. you never want to be without a license, right? :)
  3. this is all you have need with the implicit method. - a simple call of a line We stock a controller property

in the example of webforms we obtained data offerings and linked them to a repeater. . in MVC, we question them and save them in a template for display.

This is the query. You see it uses async. After waiting for the results, I then massage the data query in my specific model using LINQ

 var = offeringsTask ApiContext.Offerings.GetAsync (). offers var = (waiting offeringsTask) .ToList (); offeringModels var = (to offer the offers select new {Id = OfferingModel offering.Id, Name = offering.Name, IconURL = Url.LargeIconUrl (offering.Icon.Id)}) OrderBy (ad => ad. name). var = new model HomeModel Offerings = {offeringModels.ToList ()}; return View (model); 

Here the reference models:

 public class OfferingModel {public string Id {get; together; } Public string IconURL {get; together; } Public string Name {get; together; }} 
 public class HomeModel {public List  Offerings {get; together; }} 

This is all the code you need in the cshtml page to browse offers:

     offers     @foreach (var offers in Model.Offerings) {      @ offering.Name   }   

and it will look like, the same as the example of webforms:

MVC syntax made to the many table easier and it almost seems like good old HTML.

The way we do the icons is not much different, but it is easier and simpler. First, there is this beautiful helper class that builds the urls to get the icon images.

 UrlHelperExtensions public static class {public static string LargeIconUrl (this UrlHelper urlHelper, Guid? Id) {return urlHelper.Action ( "GetIcon", "Home", new {id, width = 32 height = 32 }); } Public static string LargeIconUrl (this UrlHelper urlHelper, string id) {return urlHelper.Action ( "GetIcon", "Home", new {id, width = 32 height = 32}); }} 

Then we have the typical method that returns the actual bits of the image. (This is roughly the same as the example of webforms but you can build it directly into your controller. However, you may want it to be a separate controller in a real world example to isolate concerns.)

 [OutputCache(Duration = Int32.MaxValue)] // Cache forever public virtual async Task  GetIcon (string id, int? width, int? height) {try {var icon = wait ApiContext.Icons.GetByIdAsync (id, IconFormat. png, width ?? 32, ?? height 32); return file (Convert.FromBase64String (icon.DataBase64), "image / png"); } Catch (Exception e) {Trace.TraceError ( "Error Message obtaining Icon: {0}", e.Message); return new EmptyResult (); }} 

There. This project ended up with less code, was easier to read and follow some of the latest techniques server side. In part 3, we will change this example not to use server-side processing, but instead use knockout and Ajax requests to get the data. Stay tuned!

Enterprise Mobility Management and snap approach

6:13 PM Add Comment
Enterprise Mobility Management and snap approach -

Enterprise Mobility Management is so much more than MDM or MAM or MCM (you choose your favorite 3 letter acronym - maybe even create some new ones) the basic task of the mobility management is building a workforce more efficient, with improved levels of productivity tools that simplify operational complexity to provide connected experience leverage, making this vision a reality. For a long time this meant the line of business mobilization of Windows applications on smartphones and tablets, which Citrix has done and continues to do very effectively, by leveraging Citrix XenDesktop and Citrix Receiver power. Adding CloudGateway scenarios in this mixture allowed extensions on the base, which has enabled us to "snap-in" on demand, native mobile applications with security checks at the enterprise level. Integrating best-in-breed capabilities Zenprise management system makes this even more complete story, and the underlying data platform with Sharefile links all of these multiple access scenarios up in a pretty package. Other components of the Citrix portfolio, with NetScaler, GoToMeeting, GoToAssist, Podio, increase and accelerate the specific use cases, the improvement of sustainability, scalability, usability and functionality rewarding.

With all these elements in a pluggable "snap-in" architecture that allows to pick / choose cases and key usage scenarios, and therefore design enterprise environments without need to re-architect the network or re-educate end users, provides Citrix customers a significant advantage in how enterprise mobility is managed.

I'll talk to our annual conference for end users to Citrix Synergy 2013, SYN309, where we will look at this whole picture, right to make appropriate choices, the design of access scenarios and put all together to achieve the goal of ending improve efficiency and labor productivity. We are going mobile, and we are very happy you all to join us on this journey ....

Citrix CTO Series - XenClient XT as an extensible open platform for innovation for the security of virtualization systems

Citrix CTO Series - XenClient XT as an extensible open platform for innovation for the security of virtualization systems -

anti-malware products traditional suffered from some fundamental flaws that limit their effectiveness. First, based on the signatures is by definition a reactive approach; it can not be a signature until the malware exists. Second, it is impossible to guarantee detection of malware running with root privileges when the detection system is running at the same privilege level. In other words, if a rootkit is running in the supervisor, who is overseeing the supervisor?

That the threat landscape has changed is well known. The most significant change was moving search of strong sensations weekend warriors to a range of pirates with a variety of patterns, from disgruntled employees, political activists, professionals hacking for profit organizations. This change led an evolving attack vectors. While social activists "same old" are true, the quality of malware has changed. We can not wait aloud malware. We can not expect to detect the driver-level malicious code, since it is poorly written;. these guys are not blue-screening systems these days Worse, they know your systems best you

the safety and infrastructure converge "Who will inspect the!. supervisor"? The answer is in infrastructure. By creating this ecosystem, Citrix takes a big step forward for security in virtualized environments. This is an abandonment of the inspection of operating systems and applications. The ecosystem and suppliers that are able to embrace it represents a new paradigm in security. It is possible that the former inspect the root of the root "dilemma is disappearing (or" disappeared ").

The delivery method will be key. Customers of the largest enterprises SMEs, do not want to pick and choose the security to match infrastructure, applications and operating all of the height of the battery systems. This support method and choose-is long and full of patchwork solutions. It is also the money pit because it is intensive work with difficult to quantify the results; it creates integration efforts that add to the cost of security. In other words, clients want security that is integrated, from top to bottom of the stack. Virtualization, by the very definition of the hypervisor, provides secure space from which security can be applied. It is up to virtualization vendors to offer this security role.

Bolt safety will always be limits. Cooked in security has real consequences for suppliers who are able to work with infrastructure providers. Creating a tangible infrastructure, security awareness is a work that both infrastructure and security vendors share. The safety of the software defined data center is part of the ecosystem. Finally, we may be able to agree that the idea of ​​"security by design" is possible.

Citrix XenClient® XT implement "security by design" through a flexible architecture that is designed to provide extreme security and isolation for the public sector and other highly regulated environments. It uses a hardenedType Xen®-1 client hypervisor project that runs on bare metal to maximize security without compromising performance. Security features such as hardware-assisted start-confidence and disk encryption from the platform Intel® vPro ™ ensure only authorized users have access to sensitive data. More importantly, an open architecture enables partners and other third parties to extend the XT platform XenClient to provide additional value-added capabilities. Taken together, these capabilities are transforming Citrix XenClient® XT in a flexible platform, scalable security that offers integrated security for a leap forward in security.

The Citrix Virtualization Client Group actively participated in various activities to form a new virtualization security ecosystem based off of the platform XenClient XT. We worked closely with various security vendors by sharing our virtualization and security experiences with them.

An example of this is the VCD-IA pack extension from Adventium Labs, which was built above the Citrix XenClient XT platform for additional defensive capabilities. Another example implementation is Bitdefender which showed a demo VM implementation retrospection memory services built on top of the Xen® hypervisor project to protect guest virtual memory against malicious infection memory operations to Citrix Synergy Los Angeles 2013. " Citrix introduces a very attractive ecosystem based on XenClient XT for security vendors to go beyond traditional test paradigm. ," said Robert Krauss, director of strategic alliances, Bitdefender.

This new virtualization security ecosystem being built over Citrix XenClient XT platform through security vendors and other third parties increases the strongest available security capabilities Citrix XenClient XT to protect highly regulated environments.

Is upgrading to everyone? -

is updated for everyone?

During the life cycle of a product of production, there comes a time when a new version provides the ability for a customer to upgrade. In terms of XenDesktop, it is expected that in place upgrade of an existing deployment would upgrade all automatically or manual intervention components would be expected?

There is also the question of whether customers would upgrade deployment working at all or would they simply build a parallel deployment. Using this model users could be migrated from older production environment to the new version piece by piece.

In addition, customers would prefer to export a site from a previous work deployment to then be imported back into a new online product deployment?

We are interested in learning how customers prefer to deploy a new version of XenDesktop when they already have an existing deployment job in place. For this reason, we have created a simple survey to collect this data. If you could spend a few minutes of your time, we greatly appreciate the feedback.

The leveling survey is located at the following address http://bit.ly/197nrMg

Citrix is ​​"Top Workplace" in Silicon Valley Once Again! -

After nearly 11 years at Citrix, I always feel lucky and proud to work here. According to the results of the San Jose Mercury News Top Workplaces 2013 rankings, many of my colleagues feel the same thing. Citrix recently appointed eighth in the "Large Companies", one of only three Bay Area companies to recognize four years in a row.

When I hear employees talk why they like working here, there are a number of common themes. What is the main reason? People. We have a unique talented team, and shares a common set of values. Another reason is that they really love what they do. They can create, sell, support and use amazing products. As they do, the company grows, and they grow their careers.

Another secret of our success is that we allow employees to work and collaborate everywhere. Our employees appreciate that they have flexibility in where and how work gets done. When it comes to mobile workstyles, we walk the walk.

Our international teams care about the communities where we live and work, and Citrix supports by donating products, matching charitable gifts, and provide each employee with two eight-day work of an hour each year to volunteer with the nonprofit of their choice.

for me, Citrix is ​​an extraordinary place to work. And in regions like Silicon Valley is known for its highly competitive job market, its especially rewarding to be recognized with a distinction summit workplace.

Citrix Congratulations!

effective Queuing - But Where

2:58 PM Add Comment
effective Queuing - But Where -

Does the peak look familiar? This is the reality of our daily life and most of the time we simply follow the queue blindly. Each queue system can be questioned for its effectiveness and can be improved and the same principle applies to the queues in our computer systems.

NetScaler keeps so many different queues for different system features and capabilities. The queues admirably and work mostly as an end user you will not even notice when the queue is maintained. Couple return of the month, we reviewed the internal queues maintained in NetScaler and the thought was to improve the management of the queue and handling what we do today.

A simple example of handling client connection on NetScaler. We pick the client connections and based on the LB / persistence logic reuse the selected service. What happens when the service is overloaded or the back-end server are not able to handle more traffic? Then, client connections begin to queue on the service and the queue starts to grow. Most protection functions are used at each level of service today and thus while making the decision LB vserver does not know the status of these features such as HTTP DoS protection, Priority Queuing or Sure Connect. Hence the sometimes selected service may not be the best because of these protection features. All priorities is going to the service layer and the protection logic is applied here so through multiple service prioritization differ depending on waiting queue level of local service.

Another common problem seen with the service level queue when the service is down for any reason any queue is cleaned and connections held triggers. If you combine all this together with the fact that today the logic of the application is mainly applied to the layer / vserver endpoint when you see the opportunity for improvement. Does the story come together ... ??

With NetScaler 10.1 release, we introduced the queue mechanism enhanced with maintaining the queue to the layer of vserver. Again, as an end user you would not see much difference outside as most of it is handled internally, but you'll certainly appreciate the benefits that come

  • First and first of all -. One checkpoint
  • Play with the size of the queue in vserver / App
  • precise request priority among services
  • HTTP DoS protection applied to vserver / App
  • Even more intelligent selection mechanism service
  • Influencing decision LB for a better use of resources services
  • Finally connections queued falls not if the service goes down

looks interesting, is not it? Stay tuned for the next blog retailer in the queue at the vserver.

Citrix NetScaler gateway 10.1.118.7 - Quick Setup Wizard

1:57 PM 1 Comment
Citrix NetScaler gateway 10.1.118.7 - Quick Setup Wizard -

Introduction

Quick Setup Wizard makes configuring NetScaler gateway and XenMobile Type XenApp / XenDesktop deployments that enables communication with App Controller, StoreFront, or Web securely interface. Simplification of the NetScaler Gateway configuration is accomplished by creating various policies such as authentication, session and Clientless Access etc. in the background and link them to a virtual server.

NetScaler Gateway Configuration

Prerequisites:

  1. Gateway Platform NetScaler License
  2. Proper SSL certificate and SSL Key

steps to set through the wizard:

Step 1

When accessing the NetScaler management console using NSIP (NetScaler Address IP) in a browser, select NetScaler gateway 'option' type of deployment "and login to get persona NetScaler gateway tab represented by Home ."

Step 2

When you enter for the first time, an interface to add IP Address Subnet , hostname and DNS IP, etc., is presented. Add the appropriate values ​​and click Continue 'button.

Step 3

Upload required file (s) license and restart as suggested

notes -. Above settings can be changed later and clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner.

Step 4

When NetScaler reboots and log in again by selecting the option NetScaler gateway ', an interface for configuring NetScaler virtual server gateway is presented. Click Get Started 'button

Note -. When you encounter this wizard, it is advisable to go through each section and complete the wizard by clicking on Done 'button at the end.

Step 5

Set Gateway NetScaler virtual server name, IP address (VIP) and port. In addition, you can enable NetScaler gateway to redirect an HTTP connection to a secure HTTPS connection. Click Continue 'for the next section

Note -. You can not configure more than one virtual server with the same IP address (VIP) but different ports by this wizard.


Step 6

In Section "certificate", select either

  1. Already installed key-pair certificate by selecting "Choose certificate option radio oR
  2. Certificate- install a key pair selecting the option 'Install certificate' and choosing the right SSL certificate and SSL Key OR
  3. Using a test certificate self-signed NetScaler selecting "Use test certificate radio option

notes -. When using "test-user certificate ', make sure that you have not used the same FQDN earlier in the configuration of another virtual server. If you delete an existing virtual server and creating a new and want to use the same FQDN in "Using the test certificate" as previously used so be sure to manually delete related files cert / key / directory nsconfig / ssl before coming to this assistant or select the key-pair certificate already created in the "Choose certificate".

Press Continue 'to complete the wizard.

Step 7

now, you get a section to configure the authentication settings. It allows you to configure primary and secondary authentication or configure only the primary authentication.

In primary authentication, select LDAP, RADIUS or certificate . Depending on the primary selection, you get options for secondary authentication.

You can choose the already created configure authentication policy or a new policy.

When the political configuration of LDAP authentication, it is recommended to use sAMAccountName logon server attribute name for deploying XenApp / XenDesktop and userPrincipalName logon server Name attribute for deployment XenMobile but ideally two works for deployments

notes -. You can not create multiple LDAP authentication policies using the same IP address of the LDAP server in this wizard as the LDAP name of the policy and action name LDAP self-generated conflicts. For example, if you want to configure a policy that uses sAMAccountName in the logon server name attribute field and a second LDAP strategy that uses the userPrincipalName (UPN) in the logon server name field Attribute then it is not possible through this wizard, but can be achieved by creating an LDAP strategy manager of the legacy policy. To do this, click the 'Settings' tab' on the top and go to NetScaler> NetScaler Gateway> Policies> Authentication / Authorization> Authentication> LDAP node. Make sure you do not do when in the middle of the wizard; otherwise you may lose the configuration.

Once you have completed the configuration of the authentication settings, click Continue 'button.

Step 8

now, you get a section to define your deployment type and settings associated with this type of deployment.

  • XenMobile - This allows you to configure your App Controller which provides access to the web, SaaS, mobile applications, Windows applications and desktops and ShareFile . Please provide App Controller FQDN.

  • XenApp / XenDesktop - This allows the configuration of the Web interface or deploying StoreFront.

In deploying Web Interface, enter the full address of XenApp website eg http: //Xenapp1.systest.agee/Citrix/XenApp and XenApp eg Site Service http: //Xenapp1.systest.agee/Citrix/PNAgent/Config.xml . Enter the URL or single sign-on domain and STA (Secure Ticket Authority) using the IP address or FQDN.

In rolling StoreFront, enter the StoreFront FQDN Receiver for Path Web Single Sign-on field and STA (Secure ticket Authority) URL or by using the IP address or FQDN.

Click Done 'button to complete the wizard successfully.

Step 9

After clicking on Done 'button, the NetScaler monitoring interface gateway is displayed .

now if you want to change some settings in the already configured virtual server and then hover over it and get a change icon. When you change the virtual server settings, be sure to go to the end of the wizard and click Done 'button to change successfully.

You can delete the virtual server by using the Clear icon.

You can create a new virtual server NetScaler also bridge from here by clicking on + icon

Step 10

be sure to properly configure the call-back NetScaler Gateway deployment settings in your backend as App Controller, Web Interface or StoreFront.

Citrix Partner Uproar: "Do not leave your registration expires validated Opportunity!"

Citrix Partner Uproar: "Do not leave your registration expires validated Opportunity!" -

You took the first step and received an Opportunity Registration validated. Do you know what to do if you have not closed the sale within 0 days?

Sometimes it takes longer than expected to close a sale. That's why Citrix allows partners to present a new opportunity registration validated before it expires. The status of a validation of modifications registration Possibility to "expire" 60 days after the presentation, and then to "expired" 30 days later. If you are still certified for cloud networking products on the recording of opportunity, you can resubmit it to Citrix while the state is "expired."

Analytics DNS

Analytics DNS -

Analytics is the new talk in town. An analysis module connected to your network not only allow visibility in a supposedly "black box", but also help you to generate significant matrices of run time to make informed decisions and faster action. No wonder these modules are more "need" to "demand" customers. A multipurpose box as help 'NetScaler' you meet both your requirements and balancing analyzes need functional load.

NetScaler can function as a proxy server to a group of DNS servers. This allows you to draw performance and security benefits of NetScaler. As NetScaler can easily monitor traffic flow in and out, it gives you a nice GUI-based dashboard for various statistics related to your DNS server. But how to get top 'N' asked domains? hmm ... Tricky native analytics Action module NetScaler is your answer.

For those who are not familiar with the action of analysis can refer http://support.citrix.com/proddocs/topic/ns-main- AppExpert-10-1-card / ns -stream-analytics-wrapper-con.html to understand its basis. Here are the steps to follow to get the data on your 'NetScaler

  1. Create a selection expression using CLIENT.UDP.DNS.DOMAIN
  2. The use of this switch to create a stream identifier with the desired number of samples and the interval
  3. Create a dns strategy, we will use "collect flow identifier for statistics created in step 2" as a rule for this policy and the link global with action as "no operation". Confused? Let me clarify
  1. You need a policy to collect statistics for stream identifier as we refer here to a UDP server only option is to use a policy of DNS. These collection methods still work "true" if it is used in general
  2. DNS policies are allowed to be bound only globally
  3. as objective of this policy is to collect statistics, we will use a "DNS_NOP 'measures to ensure that no side effects add dns policy " ANALYTICS .STREAM ( " "). COLLECT_STATS "DNS-NOP
    bind dns World 100 65535 -gotoPriorityExpression kind REQ_DEFAULT

Go to action Analytics -> stream identifier; select stream identifier, click the action and select session flow. You will get a customizable dashboard here obtain the required statistics. here is an example for your reference

I am sure it is a great tool for reporting and monitoring for network administrators. Can we use these capabilities to gain functional benefits such as enabling better logging 'top limiting rate used urls' for some type queries? I'll leave that as an open question in the discussion. Do not comment if you have such a requirement and want us to help you achieve it.

How about requests grouping depending on the type of application or types of records (where you have more than one selector switch unlike one used in this example) and the collection of statistics for them. Stay tuned for the next blog to yet another feature of "NetScaler is amazing on this series

Think FlexCast - Defining success criteria

Think FlexCast - Defining success criteria -

So in my last blog, I talked about the need to set clear requirements early in the lifecycle of the project. In this blog, I began the fight against the elephant in the room - we're going to "virtualize the entire office area" a project requirement. I promised to come back later, so we'll see if we can make that clearer and make it easier beast to discuss with the developers of the project!

Where do we start with that? Normally, it comes down to C-level executives as a VDI project waiting for them to come to agreement, but on the way down to the IT teams, he won mystical properties! "We should virtualize the desktops of everyone because says so!" Personally, I beg to differ and I spend much of my time to discuss all the different shades the FlexCast model, and how they all have one goal in organizations of most people. Take a holistic approach to VDI projects is asking for the unfortunate users and failed projects.

So where are we going start slicing the delivery terms of FlexCast? I would start by working with specific user groups and understanding of their application sets, so that while tracing the project plan, we discuss a design " . boilerplate "that includes all delivery platforms for us to have open discussions and define the best possible solution we define the expected technical requirements (see my previous blog), then the next steps are generally as follows:

1) Examine the desktop succession

  1. discovery application should be made to define application sets and user segments
  2. distribution mechanisms applications based on the application of discovery and user segmentation results, set
  3. define an implementation strategy that addresses all application sets and user groups
  4. based on the implementation strategy, define an infrastructure capable of providing all the different delivery platforms (XenApp, app-V streaming, XenDesktop, PC Remote Access etc.)
  5. define working solutions flexible (Cloud gateway, AppController Sharefile, Podio etc.)

there is a reasonable allocation of what it takes to define a model of FlexCast, but we made decisions based on our understanding of what users do with their working hours. The reflection on the technical mechanisms of delivery is fine, but it must be accepted by the end users to make the project a success. The involvement of users is essential to the success of any project of change, and with the integration of remote access PC in the FlexCast model, we can adopt a phased approach to show users the benefits associated with new flexible computing solutions. By deploying first PC remote access to desktops and allowing users to work at home, but on their existing PC, we allow them to learn a new thing at a time. Once that is comfortable, we could begin the process of migration from the PC to the data center - you P2V the existing machine to the data center or build a new office? This is something that needs serious discussion, and depends on a variety of factors (cost / scale, user acceptance, etc.).

One of the best approaches I've met is the idea of ​​a "Demo Suite" in the organization - the IT function creates a demonstration center for all different models for user groups and allows the Department to try the technology. with this being an "iT as a service" model really every type of deployment (thin client, hybrid clients, tablets, BYOD, etc.) can be demonstrated and cost of service attached to each method for the department. Instead iT choose the right strategy for the department, the officials buy (literally) in the process! with a well-designed solution, it is also quite easy to attach a path "Upgrade" if departments find that they need a different style of technology later on the way. As an iT team behind the scenes we need to be building this flexibility in design, so that the capacity of each model can flex over time. Ensuring that IT teams as a whole begin to work together in this way, we can build an IT service that has the ability to change as various requirements are created throughout the company.

But back to the first statement of "virtualizing the entire desktop area" - have we approached properly Well, we still have not clarified that the executive sponsor could tell by that, but? we certainly put the project to achieve the vision would also be a good idea to understand the key drivers of the transition to virtualization. - Mobility, agility, cost reduction, etc. more information here gathered more finessed solution can be. How do you handle these types of discussions?

Chris Koopmans, VP and GM, Platform Services Provider, Citrix

After the LTE successful 2013 ceremony, Chris Koopmans, VP & GM Platforms service provider network cloud for Citrix was questioned about Citrix ByteMobile T3100 and how its capabilities adaptive optimization, related to user experience index (UXI) helps operators keep their promise QoE optimizing traffic when and where needed.

"The T3100 brings the user experience, such as video quality, video delivery and download rates. An index of user experience (UXI) is then calculated for each user, which enables operators to detect and treat poor QoE on a per subscriber in real time, which prevents the user abandonment of data and video. UXI services also allows operators to enforce service levels plane and enable a more efficient network that allows them to differentiate their networks both users and content providers.

... ..This is essential that operators deploy LTE, allowing them to maintain QoE and manage network congestion from day one and to create efficient networks and reduce churn. "

Skinning with the Mobile SDK Citrix Application

Skinning with the Mobile SDK Citrix Application -

One advantage of using the mobile SDK Citrix Application is that it gives you a degree of independence from appliance egthe same application is accessible from either an iOS or Android device. While you can use the same application from many different types of devices, it will be the same on all devices. However, it is quite simple to add skinning based applications WPF / .NET that will change the look of your application to match the native look and feel of the user client device accesses the application from.

If this is of interest to you, please consult the new skinning sample project, we uploaded on the site Mobility Application SDK CodePlex

http: // citrixmobilitysdk. codeplex.com/

Simply browse to the Source code tab to browse or download the sample code.

The sample works by factoring out a portion of the visual aspect of the application in the resource libraries. Using the SDK Application mobile application detects the client device type and swap between different resource libraries to change the appearance of the application. The application also provides options to manually replace the skin when using for demonstration purposes. Just tap on Android or iOS options on the first page to manually adjust the skin. It will change the skin as shown in the following screenshot:

Сбор информации для открытия инцидента в Технической Поддержке Citrix -

Доброго времени суток, уважаемые читатели. Снова с вами российский голос технической поддержки Citrix. Сегодня я расскажу о расширенном сборе диагностической информации для открытия инцидента в Технической Поддержке Citrix с помощью различных утилит.

Очень часто клиенты открывают инциденты, для которых не предоставляют никакой диагностической информации. Поэтому, ниже ÿ привожу список проблем Ø соответствующих утилит для сбора info :.

1) Для сбора info о вашей среде используйте Citrix Citrix Scout

2) При наличии проблем с лицензированием, используйте утилиту LS Query, подробнее о которой написано в моем посте Новая утилита LSQuery - License Server data collection Tool

3) Если у вас следующие проблемы:

  • Внеплановые перезагрузки сервера (BSOD или) "Синий экран смерти."
  • Подвисание сервера;
  • Проблемы с подключением к серверу новых пользователей, при успешном обслуживании существующих;
  • Зависшие сессии. Обычно их видно в консоле DSC или AppCenter, они могут быть как активны, так и в состоянии "отключены". При этом не срабатывает заданное через политики или настройки хоста значение по терминированию отключенных сессий ;.
  • При падении какого-то процесса, когда анализ собранного дампа процесса полной картины и источника проблемы не выявил

Для выяснения причины, нам необходим сбор полного дампа памяти сервара. Подробнее читайте мой пост В каком случае и как собрать полный дамп памяти сервера.

4) Если у вас зависает или аварийно завершается процесс, необходимо собрать дамп процесса. Подробнее читайте мой пост Как собрать полный дамп памяти пользовательского приложения или процесса. Для Windows 03 можно Process Explorer from использовать.

5) Для отладки и вылавливания проблем с компонентами и процессами почти всех программных продуктов Citrix, например, XenApp, XenDesktop, SSO Ø Advanced Access Control, используйте CDFControl, подробнее о трассировке событий читайте мой пост Использование Citrix Diagnostic Facility для трассировки событий.

6) При проблемах с аутентификацией, запуском приложений, медленным входом в сеть полезно собирать сетевой трафик утилитой WireShark.

А также в помошь администратору выпустил набор утилит Citrix Citrix Diagnostics Toolkit (64-bit и 32 bit). Вы можете установить все необходимые инструменты для сбора диагностической информации из одного места. Данный набор включает в себя:

Инструменты Citrix , устанавливаемые по умолчанию Дополнительные инструменты
