Hello Experts our current environment is as follows:<br />
Web Server Hosting IIS &amp;&nbsp;Citrix Secure Gateway<br />
Citrix Server<br />
SQL Server<br />
AD Server<br />
App server<br />
Currently users must have CAC or PKI to get to login screen. &nbsp;So where I'm a little fuzzy, authentication starts on users machine their cert must be validated up to CA, once validated, user enters username / password which then goes to AD for verification? &nbsp;Or does Citrix do the verification?
