In letzter Zeit beschäftige ich mich in Projekten hauptsächlich damit, Kundenumgebungen von alten XenApp-Versionen (PS 4.0 /PS 4.X /XenApp 5 /XenApp 6) auf XenApp 6.5 zu aktualisieren oder aber XenApp 6.5 bei Kunden einzuführen, die bisher keine Erfahrungen mit Server Based Computing (SBC) haben. Dabei erstrecken sich die Umgebungsgrößen von einigen wenigen auf mehrere tausend XenApp-Server.

CloudGateway: Citrix StoreFront and Receiver Enterprise - what’s happened with pre-launch apps?Published by Marcel Meurer on 11/28/2012 | 1 Comments | 6,549 Views Pre-launch apps and Citrix Web Interface PNAgent-siteSince XenApp 6.5 we often use a cool feature called pre-launch apps. Pre-launch apps are configured in Citrix AppCenter and start automatically in the moment a user authenticated with Citrix Receiver Enterprise against a Citrix Web Interface PNAgent-site. The prelaunch app is not a classic published app. These apps run in background and start over if the user clicks a regular app (using session sharing). The advantage: The preparation of a session results in a better user experience. |

How to generate a server certificate and a CA in minutes with opensslPublished by Marcel Meurer on 11/07/2012 | 0 Comments | 2,395 Views I’m using Microsoft IIS in my test environment to evaluate Citrix StoreFront. Citrix StoreFront works with AppController. Both together build the product called CloudGateway Enterprise. StoreFront and AppController communicate via SSL (https). To avoid installing a full PKI I decide to use openssl to generate the necessary server certificates. So. Here is my quick guide: 1) Download openssl from: http://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html |

Citrix CloudGateway: How to use Citrix CloudGateway Enterprise 2.0 with Client Hyper-V ?–Here’s a workaround.Published by Marcel Meurer on 11/05/2012 | 0 Comments | 2,445 Views Since a few months I’m using Microsoft’s Client Hyper-V on my Windows 8 notebook for my demo and education environment. My environment consists of a few Windows servers which build a Windows Active Directory Domain called world.local. In this environment I’m trying to examine Citrix CloudGateway. Installing StoreFront was really easy to do but with AppController 2.0 I got a problem: The AppController VPX is only available for XenServer (.xva) and VMware (ova). |

Removing unnecessary IIS Handler Mappings to Secure Citrix WebInterface on IISPublished by Marcel Meurer on 09/28/2012 | 0 Comments | 2,687 Views If you are using an IIS server to deploy only a Citrix WebInterface, it could be a good idea to remove unnecessary handler mappings to secure IIS. What are handler mappings? Websites contain different files. These files are handled – e.g. depending of their extension – by different resources (called handlers). It’s like the file type association in Windows. For example the ASPX-files coming with Citrix WebInterface. Theses ASPX-files are not delivered to the user’s browser, they are interpreted server-side by the handler called “PageHandlerFactory-ISAPI-2.0”. |

XenApp Session Timeouts ExplainedPublished by Nicholas Dille on 07/27/2012 | 0 Comments | 9,478 Views In a centralized environment such as a XenApp farm, users share resources with one another. A thoroughly designed platform will be able to handle all prospected users as well as provide contingencies for failures and maintenance tasks. When sizing a XenApp farm, resources as well as licenses need to be calculated for the concurrently connected users (CCU) which may well be only a small fraction of the total number of users. From an architectural point of view, it is very desirable to free resources when they are held by idle users to make them available to other sessions. XenApp offers several timeouts to manage inactivity and free resources. This article explains how they work (including session pre-launch and session lingering) and what this means for your design. |
