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:
- Gateway Platform NetScaler License
- 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
- Already installed key-pair certificate by selecting "Choose certificate option radio oR
- Certificate- install a key pair selecting the option 'Install certificate' and choosing the right SSL certificate and SSL Key OR
- 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.
