Netscaler Integration into XenDesktop
Initial Config
- Install License
- Configure Subnet IP (SNIP)
- Configure DNS server address
Certificate
- If you see an Orange icon next to 'SSL', you need to right click and enable feature.
- If you see a Red Icon there, then you need to install correct License.
- Generate Private Key(in Create RSA Key section).
- Generate CSR
- Create Certificate from CA
Integrate XenDesktop
- Goto XenDesktop & XenApp.
- Select StoreFront
- Enter "NetScaler Gateway IP Address". This is called VIP.
- Also enter FQDN of VIP address under "Virtual Server Name".
- Select Certificate-Key Pair.
- Enter Authentication info:
- AD Server IP
- Base DN
- Admin account
- Server Logon Name Attribute (sAMAccountName for XenApp/XenDesktop)
- Enter StoreFront Info:
- Storefront FQDN
- Site Path - add 'Web' at the end in case it is a web store(not receiver based).
- Domain name
- STA server info (this is generally http://<Storefront FQDN>)
- SF IP
- Protocol (default is 80)
Testing and Troubleshooting
- If you get the error "internal Server Error 43531"
- Check the DNS settings in NS
- NG can't connect to SF because a firewall is blocking
- Could be incorrect FQDN of StoreFront - try IP instead for test
- LB vserver if you do load balance SF servers - try IP instead for test
- Check if correct store name is defined
- Could be wrong subnet IP defined
- Certificate not bound issue.
- Goto Virtual Servers
- Bind Certificate to the VIP.
- It should now appear as UP (Green Button).
