How to use program neighbourhood client from outside the network without vpn.

Asked by CLL in Citrix, Microsoft Server, Remote Desktop/Terminal Services

Tags: , ,

Hi All,

We have just setup a Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 to deliver a published desktop to laptop users. We followed the instructions in the document below to get Citrix Web Interface & Citrix Secure Gateway running on the same server.

http://www.msterminalservices.org/articles/Install-Configure-Citrix-Web-Interface-Secure-Gateway-Part1.html

Access to the Citrix Server works perfectly in a browser using https://FQDN from inside & outside the network and this is perfect for users logging in from home or from an internet kiosk however we want to be able to enable laptop users to have the same experience & process regardless of whether the laptop is inside the LAN or is out of the office (eg. have a desktop icon for the published app/desktop and simply double click on this from any internet connected location). I thought it would be possible to point the Program Neighbour Client to the FQDN of the CSG Server using the Secure Gateway Relay Mode under the firewall tab in the client but we cannot get this to work outside the network.

Someone suggested to us that a Citrix Access Gateway with the SSL/VPN client would enable this to work and I have no problem with buying the appliance however I was hoping to get this working without the added complexity of managing a vpn client/session on each notebook in the same way that Windows Server 2008 & the TS Gateway Role works . We have about 50 laptop users who need this functionality.

Can someone please offer some options as to how this could be configured to work and what is the best way taking into consideration security & complexity.
