Allow Citrix Xenapp 6 access outside of firewall
I have installed Citrix Xenapp 6 on a standalone server behind my watchguard firewall. The firewall is NATing the internal IP. I also installed a server certificate on the XenApp server. I configured web interface and PNAgent access on 443. Everything works fine internally. I am using direct secure access for web and pnagent.
The problem is with access from outside the firewall. I have created an ACL that allows all specified ports... 443,1494,2598,2512,2513,80
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

forget about what I just said. The internal agent works.

Speed of applications are surprisingly slow. Will need to look into this.
what do you mean by slow?
what is the app, in what way is it slow?

when an application is called through PNAgent, it takes around 20-40 seconds to load completely. This is the same with the web interface. Its almost like something is having to timeout.
this is probably because of the agent trying to use "session reliability" and you are not accepting this
this is port 2598

just checked and the policy is not set. Could there be any other setting?
what do you mean the policy is not set?
on the .ica file or the receiving server?

my understanding is that session reliability is established through the policy editor for computers....

yes this is true, but you should enable this.
and i suspect the ica client will always try to use SR this is why the negotiating takes so long?

Just did this...
1. Locate the default.ica file on the Web server hosting Web Interface 4.5 or 4.6. Default path - \inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\Ac
2. By default, the CGPAddress= line should not be in this file – add the line in the [Application] section if it does not exist. This disables Session Reliablity.

I regressed and pulled CGPAddress= from the file
ok and all is well now?
ASKER
yes

I have no shame in asking questions. Thats why I pay for this service.
Virtualization
Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
