Thank you Dirk Kotte.

Which service you wish to use? (WebApplicationDelivery, OWA, XenApp, VPN, ...) --- XenApp.

NetScaler will authenticate the user credentials (session ticket) against Active Directory, preferably using TCP port Nr. 636 (SSL) based upon the configured Authentication Policy.

In this blog, Basvankaam, explained about On-Prem authentication. I am referring this Session Ticket .How long this ticket valid?
In S2S VPN, can authenticate session ticket within the valid period?
Please suggest.

"NetScaler will authenticate the user credentials (session ticket) against Active Directory, preferably using TCP port Nr. 636 (SSL) based upon the configured Authentication Policy. "

Here the netScaler don't get a Ticket from AD (Kerberos , authentication cookie, or other).
it simple checks, if the user is allowed to logon and send the credentials to storefront afterwards.
SF makes his own authentication with AD.
So you have to handle the netscaler Timeout and the SF Timeout.

NetScaler Gateway has a Session Timeout, configured at the session profile/network settings ... its for the webpage only.
It's not configured by default. (don't know if there is a default value)
https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX215671

at SF you have the timeout-settings within "receiver for web"-settings (def: 20 min)
SF forces to deauthenticate the user at the NetScaler too.

and the last ... the session settings configured at the  terminalserver.

Is Azure Market Place "Citrix NetScaler" can authenticate with "On Prem AD" using  "Site 2 Site VPN" connection?
With Azure MFA.
Answer: Using S2S VPN you can use all internal authentication methods like ldap, radius, ...

Is it proven solution? i.e anywhere this kind of solution implemented?

Please suggest.

Hi All, anyone tested or implemented below scenario?

Azure Market Place "Citrix NetScaler" authenticate with "On-Prem AD" using  "Site 2 Site VPN" connection?
Azure MFA for two-factor authentication, Citrix FAS for Single Sign-On.

Got confirmation that authentication with "On-Prem AD" using  "Site 2 Site VPN" connection or even "Express Route" is not recommended.
Any comments here?

Finally, I have received an answer from MS and Citrix.
This Scenario, haven't tested. i.e authentication with "On-Prem AD" using  "Site 2 Site VPN" connection or even "Express Route" is not tested.
