Chapter 7. NetScaler Gateway™
NetScaler Gateway (formerly known as Access Gateway Enterprise Edition) is the remote access feature of NetScaler. It has all the usual bells and whistles of an enterprise class hardened VPN solution, and is also the secure frontend of choice for XenApp, XenDesktop, and XenMobile.
As a frontend for XenApp and XenDesktop solutions, NetScaler Gateway understands how to work with ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) and can provide policy-based control for published applications and desktops.
Note
ICA is a Citrix proprietary protocol which is optimized for published applications and desktop delivery.
As a frontend for XenMobile, NetScaler provides a MicroVPN capability that is critical for enabling Worx applications to communicate securely with the backend services.
We will cover the necessary background and troubleshooting for these features in the following order:
