Comparing Access Mechanisms for Configuring Citrix

Connect Secure supports several mechanisms for intermediating traffic between a Citrix server and client, including the Citrix Terminal Services proxy, JSAM, WSAM, VPN Tunneling, and the hosted Java applets feature.

Table 78 describes key differences when accessing a Citrix Metaframe Server thought a Citrix Web Interface server. The descriptions in this table focus on configuring Citrix Terminal Services, JSAM, and WSAM through Web resource profile templates (Select Users > Resource Profiles > Web, click New Profile and select Citrix Web interface/JICA from the Type list.)

Note: If you want to configure access to a Citrix Metaframe server through a Citrix Web Interface server, you must use Web resource profile templates. If you want to configure access to a Citrix Metaframe server without using a Citrix Web Interface server, you must use a standard Citrix Terminal Services or WSAM resource profile or role.

Configuring ports

Automatically monitor all traffic on port 1494 if session reliability is turned off on the server. The system monitors port 2598 if session reliability is turned on. You do not need to specify which ports to monitor or which applications to intermediate.

You must specify which ports to monitor. This enables you to access published applications that use ports other than 1494.

You do not need to specify which ports to monitor or which applications to intermediate. WSAM works in app mode and monitors all traffic coming from certain Citrix executables.

Admin configuration

You can specify which ports the system intermediates. If you do not configure this information, the system automatically monitors ports 1494 and 2598.

You cannot configure Citrix as a standard application. Instead, you need to create a custom JSAM application, provide the server names of all Metaframe servers, and specify which ports to monitor. This enables you to use applications such as Citrix Secure Gateways (CSGs) and published applications that use ports other than 1494.
