Instructions

Overview diagram to configure a NetScaler Gateway Virtual Server for use with Citrix Receiver
To configure a NetScaler Gateway Virtual Server for use with Citrix Receiver, complete the following set of procedures:

  1. Bind Session Policy to User Group or Virtual Server
    Note: This Session Policy needs to be configured with a higher priority than the other configured Session Policies. The lower the number, the higher the priority. The default value of zero is applied last. Example, a policy configured with a priority of 100 is greater than a policy configured with a priority of 200. The policy with a priority of 200 is greater than a priority of 0, as it is applied last.

Configure XenApp Services Site for Use with Citrix Receiver

Note: Web Interface 5.x is required to allow for use with NetScaler Gateway.

The Citrix Receiver uses a XenApp Services site (formally 'Program Neighborhood Agent' site) to get information about the applications a user has rights to and presents them to the Citrix Receiver running on the mobile device.

  1. In the Web Interface console, create a XenApp Services site (such as http://ServerName/Citrix/PNAgent or http://Servername/CustomPath/config.xml). For this procedure, refer to Citrix Documentation - Integrating NetScaler Gateway with XenApp or XenDesktop.

  2. Configure the XenApp Services site to support connections from NetScaler Gateway connection.

  3. In the XenApp Services site, select Manage secure client access > Edit secure client access settings.

  4. Change the Access Method to Gateway Direct.

  5. Enter the FQDN of the NetScaler Gateway appliance.

  6. Enter the Secure Ticket Authority (STA) information.

Configure Session Policy and Corresponding Session Profile for Use with Citrix Receiver

  1. Navigate to Configuration Utility > NetScaler Gateway > Policies > Session > Session Profile > Add to create a new Session Profile.
    The Session Profile’s Published Applications Tab should be configured to point to the XenApp Services site created in Procedure 1.

    The following is an example of the CLI command to create the session profile:
    add vpn sessionAction CitrixReceiver_Profile -SSO ON -icaProxy ON -wihome http://<servername>/citrix/pnagent/config.xml

  2. Navigate to Configuration Utility > NetScaler Gateway > Policies > Session Policy > Add, to create a new session policy to identify if the connection is from Citrix Receiver.

    When you create the session policy, configure the following qualifying expression(s):
    REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS CitrixReceiver

    Note: The above expression allows all variants of Citrix Receiver to leverage the policy.

    The following screen shot shows an example of this policy:

    The following is an example of the CLI command:
    add vpn sessionPolicy CitrixReceiver_Policy 'REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS CitrixReceiver' CitrixReceiver_Profile

    If you would like to create specific expressions for iPhone/iPad, you could use the following qualifiers in the expression field:
    REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS CitrixReceiver-iPad
    REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS CFNetwork
    REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS Darwin

    The following is an example of the CLI command:
    add vpn sessionPolicy iPhone_Policy 'REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS CitrixReceiver || REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS CitrixReceiver-iPad || REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS CFNetwork || REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent CONTAINS Darwin' iPhone_Profile

Bind Session Policy to User Group or Virtual Server

The Session Policy created must have a higher priority than the Standard Session Policy(s) bound at the User Group or Virtual Server level. If it has a lower priority then the Citrix Receiver will return an error.

Citrix Workspace For Ipad Pro

  1. Navigate to Configuration Utility > NetScaler Gateway > Virtual Servers > select the virtual server > Policies > Add Binding to bind the policy.

Authentication Policy Configuration

Citrix Receiver Ipad Mouse

  • If dual authentication is required on NetScaler Gateway (such as RSA SecurID and Active Directory) and there are no qualifying expressions defined in authentication policy other than 'ns_true', RSA SecurID authentication must be defined as the default primary authentication type. Active Directory authentication must be the secondary authentication type.

  • RSA SecurID uses a RADIUS server to enable token authentication.
