Continuing a little with Citrix elements that we can monitor… what less than our NetScaler! In this document, we'll see how to monitor a Citrix NetScaler VPX virtual appliance that is currently the Gateway for my Citrix XenDesktop organization. We will monitor its basic consumption such as CPU through SNMP, Memory or disks, but also the connections, your network interfaces or certificates!
Today I want to share with you a document by Oscar Mas, where he is going to show us a functionality of NetScaler systems that can be very useful for publishing access to shared resources, Websites, etc.... What we do is publish something that is on our network and deliver the encrypted information through our NetScaler. We could also publish our XenApp 6.X/7.X through this same access. In this case, what I am going to publish is access to a well-known monitoring system, which is called Zabbix through a NetScaler.
I leave you a piece of Oscar Mas's document, We hope you are interested! One of the most important things in any system we implement, is the monitoring of said system. Microsoft and Citrix, give us the possibility to monitor our systems, using the System Center Operations Manager tool, better known as SCOM. For those of us who are old in the trade, we will know this tool as MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager).
Very good! I leave you with a magnificent post by our dear Oscar Mas! One of the new features that came out with the firmware version 10.5 NetScaler, is the possibility of scanning the client that wants to connect to our Citrix infrastructure and based on pre-established criteria, give you access or be denied access. This functionality is known as EPA (End Point Analysis). This article, you want to show the steps required to be able to configure EPA (End Point Analysis), with a very simple example. It must be taken into account, that this system only works with Windows and MAC-based operating systems.
I'm Oscar Mas and recently, in another post I explained how to configure a balancer between a NetScaler and several StoreFronts. The configuration consisted of Microsoft's NLB, which we installed on the two StoreFfront servers, This system provided us with the functionalities of balancer and failover.
Very good, I leave you a Post by the great Oscar Mas, one of the great Citrix & Shoring, Enjoy: Today I'm going to show you how to set up a NetScaler system in High Availability (HAS), Performing the configuration by console. We start from the base of two NetScaler servers, which one of them is fully configured (netscaler1.ilba.cat). The first thing we will do is link the two NetScalers and then join them, so that in the event of a fall of one of the two, the other continues to work.
After deploying a Provisioning Services site in high availability, we should continue to create an IP address to which the computers that boot with PXE connect and this is balanced to the PVS server with less load. We will rely on Citrix NetScaler Load Balancing to carry out this function!
In this document we will see something fundamental in environments where we must have a system always available, where NetScaler is the main element by having several balanced and protected external services. In this case, we will see how to configure an HA or a NetScaler cluster so that under no circumstances can we drop the services that we publish with our appliances.
In this document we will look at the deployment of Swivel Secure's great PINsafe product, where we will force users who work against our Citrix platform to have a double authentication and validate themselves with their Active Directory authentication in addition to entering an OTC code based on their PIN so that they cannot access our platform before a keylogger and try to secure the accesses more!!
In this document, we will see how to configure from the Citrix NetScaler appliance that it is mandatory for client computers to have a certificate installed locally (they could also have it on a pen drive) so they can access the Citrix portal, to your applications; without the certificate they would not even see the corporate portal.
