Citrix Gateway

Integrating Citrix Gateway with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

When you configure Citrix Gateway for user connections, you can include settings for network traffic to Citrix Virtual Apps, Citrix Virtual Desktops, or both. To do so, you configure Citrix Gateway and the Web Interface to communicate with each other.

The tasks for integrating these products include:

  • Creating a Web Interface site in the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops farm.
  • Configuring settings within the Web Interface to route user connections through Citrix Gateway.
  • Configuring Citrix Gateway to communicate with the Web Interface and the Secure Ticket Authority (STA).

You can also configure Citrix Gateway to communicate with a Citrix Virtual Apps server farm by deploying Citrix Gateway in a double-hop DMZ. For more information, see Deploying Citrix Gateway in a Double-Hop DMZ.

Citrix Gateway and Web Interface use the STA and Citrix XML Service to establish user connections. The STA and XML Service run on the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops server.
