NetScaler Gateway™ Integration with XenApp^® and XenDesktop^®

NetScaler Gateway's ability to act as a secure and intelligent proxy for XenApp and XenDesktop is a major reason for its success in the field.

To be able to deliver published apps and desktops securely, NetScaler works closely with the following components:

• Storefront Server: This is a web-based service that hosts a number of named stores. Each store is a collection of applications with a specific path on the server, hosted by specific servers, and with specific Gateway settings. It has been, for several years now, used as the replacement for Citrix Web Interface, which is a similar solution but on its way out. If you are deploying a new XenApp/XenDesktop environment, you should consider Storefront, as web interface is being phased out.

• Secure Ticketing Authority (STA): This is an XML service that provides short-lived tickets (32 characters long) to help validate User requests and launch published apps or desktops.

• Delivery Controller...
