Citrix Cloud Gateway Express – Citrix Receiver Storefront

As had been suspected… and confirmed it at the Citrix Synergy in Barcelona! Citrix Web Interface will no longer be developed, from now on it will be replaced by Citrix Cloud Gateway, which will have two editions, a free or Express (which will be the one we will see in this doc) and Enterprise. In this document we will install the new interface, which this time has a more attractive design for our users where they will be able to open both applications and desktops, or from a browser, as with Citrix Receiver.

Installing Citrix Web Interface on Linux

At last! In this document we will be able to see how to install the Web Interface server 5.3 on a Java server, in this case we will use a new Debian Lenny distribution to which we will install Apache2 and Tomcat6 to be able to run the Citrix Web Interface server, we can therefore save a Windows server with the cost that licensing will entail., Resources… thanks to my great friend Manel who has given me the clues to set it up!!! Started…

Create a website in Web Interface and connect to it

Una forma cómoda de que se nos conecten los usuarios, o por lo menos desde internet para no tener que hacer grandes configuraciones o explicaciones a ellos, es habilitar un sitio web para que se conecten a las aplicaciones. En este procedimiento se explica cómo habilitar este sitio y la forma de acceder como si fueramos un usuario final.

Installing and configuring Citrix Secure Gateway 3.0 – CSG 3.0

This procedure explains how to secure a Citrix environment over the Internet using CSG or Citrix Secure Gateway, This will also allow us not to have to open the typical ports 1494 and 2598 firewall, but simply with the 443 or the one we want will pass everything to the CSG and it will manage it. It will be a secure connection using a server certificate installed on the web server.
