Welcome back, in the previous post, we have configured the CAG and the StoreFront server to enable access to the internal XenApp/XenDesktop environment with a web browser. Now we are going to enable the environment to support internal and external access with the Self Service Plugin (Dazzle). First upgrade all receivers to the latest versions. Citrix Receiver 3.2 is necessary to get this working.

Logon to the admin panel on the CAG. Edit the logonpoint that we made in part3. Make changes so that the logonpoint looks like this:

Welcome back, in this part I’m going to talk about the configuration between the CAG and StoreFront server. While I’m typing this blog there are some new releases. First off all the new version of the Receiver Storefront is v1.1. And there are new Citrix Receivers clients for OSX and Windows. All of my testing is done with the new versions. (As of April 2012)

I want to point out that this blog is how-to configure the StoreFront and the CAG (VPX) without the Self Service Plug-In (that blog comes later). What I’m going to show is how users connect to the environment with the help of a webbrowser (So only the Storefront StoreWeb site).

When installing the WebInterFace and updating the Citrix Receiver to the latest version. Users can use the nice cdviewer.exe instead of wfcrun32.exe. The cdviewer.exe has a bar at the top of the session window to simple change resolution/full screen/change preferences/etc etc.

Here’s a little blog post about the StoreFront Express (CloudGateway Express) behind a Citrix Access Gateway and the Merchandising server. What I want is to deliver the Self Service Plugin to the end users as easy/simple as possible.

In Part 1 I’m going to show you what the Citrix Receiver looks on Windows and OSX and how the Self Service Plugin looks. There are tiny bit’s about customizing the StoreFront.

Oké here is my lab environment:

Ik zat lang te denken of ik de 5.4.0 post update of dat ik een nieuwe maak voor de 5.4.2. Terwijl het eigenlijk alleen het aanpassen van de scripts is. Maar ik heb toch gekozen voor een compleet nieuwe post en download.

In de vertaling zijn niet de error/foutmeldingen meegenomen. Dit omdat er natuurlijk weinig te vinden is hierover op internet. Foutmeldingen naar de gebruikers zelf zijn wel vertaald.

Natuurlijk nog steeds veel dank aan: Aleks Nikolic, Martijn Bosschaart, Pieter Verkiel en vooral Peter Huegen welke een groot deel van deze versie heeft vertaald.

After my successful blogpost about the Web Interface (Link), it’s time for a new one for the CloudGateway. Although it’s a technical review and not released yet, I wanted to be earlier then Andrew Morgan

This is the original Logon Page for the new Citrix Cloud Gateway:

It’s pretty easy to customize it. Here is the layout:

I created an image where all the locations of files/images/code are for customizing the Web Interface logon screen. Use this for creating a corporate branded Web Interface.

Yeah I know, there are a lot of post about this and yes there are all the same. So mine will be the same as every other out there  

When the Web Interface server is rebooted or an iisrest is given the first user who access the Web Interface has to wait longer than normal. In the background different worker process (Application Pools) are started. And the .NET framework does his magic thing.

To speeds up things a little bit, you can disable the check for digital signatures.
