Summary

This document outlines requirements and recommendations for the server on which Citrix Access Essentials will be deployed.

System Requirements

Access Essentials runs on a server running the 32-bit version of Windows Server 2003, Standard or Enterprise Edition.

If using Active Directory, add the computer running Access Essentials to the directory before installation. Access Essentials supports both Workgroup and Domain deployments. The deployment of Access Essentials on a Windows domain controller is not supported.

The Access Essentials Setup checks that all required Windows system components are installed. If any are missing, Setup prompts to install the missing components.

Firewall Configuration

Access Essentials

If Access Essentials is configured to allow remote access, a firewall must be placed between the public network and the computer running Access Essentials. Configure the firewall to allow access only to TCP port 443 on the server.

The only supported deployment is for Access Essentials to have a single active Network Interface Card (NIC) with a single allocated IP address. Organizations are responsible for ensuring the FQDN for Access Essentials (the common name in the SSL certificate) resolves to the server’s IP address. Citrix does not recommend using DHCP or Automatic Private IP Addressing.

Access Gateway

Place firewalls on either side of the Access Gateway. See the Access Gateway documentation for information about how to configure the firewall between the client device and the Access Gateway. The firewall between the Access Gateway and the server running Access Essentials must be configured as follows:

Source address

Source port

DISCLAIMER:

None of this has anything to do with us, someone else is responsible for the entire thing, and we have no idea who or why. We do not know anything about it. It may be alien life forms for all we know: we haven't a clue. You cannot blame us for anything that may result from your visit. That was entirely your own personal choice, made by you of your own volition, and without our knowledge. We do not, after all, have any control over you and cannot by any stretch of the imagination be expected to accept or acknowledge, be it legally or morally, any accountability for decisions made by you on an independent basis, utilizing your own free will, and without our intervention. We are therefore in no way, shape, or form answerable to anyone for any consequences arising from the aforementioned or indeed any other actions, similar or otherwise, because it was not us that did, or did not do anything. It is not even remotely our fault, and we are in no way prepared or willing to accept any liability, not even slightly, ever. We are, in fact completely and utterly blameless, in that it is definitely not our concern, and no blame can possibly be laid at our doorstep, even if we had one, the possession of which we hereby reserve as being entirely our own free choice. The onus is not on us at all, and furthermore, never has been. The entire matter is wholly beyond our control, and completely out of our hands, each of which are washed scrupulously clean of the whole business. We are not accountable for anything at all, and we hereby categorically deny all responsibility for all that has ever, or will ever happen. Our innocence is therefore wholly beyond doubt and absolutely unimpeachable, and so cannot, under even the remotest or unlikeliest circumstances, be brought into question. By clicking either on a link on this site, clicking on a link that leads to this site, or by arriving at this site by natural or supernatural means, you are in effect accepting responsibility for the fact that it is all entirely your own fault, down to the most miniscule detail, and that you are wholly accountable for whatever outcome may arise as a consequence of the aforementioned action or actions insofar as they were undertaken personally by you on an entirely voluntary basis and without any persuasion, coercion or influence from any party or parties other than yourself. Don't come sniveling to us, we are only figments of your imagination. I also agree that if I am ever with a contributor to this website during mealtimes I agree to pay for any super-sizing of their meal, or at least a nice dessert or one of those foo-foo drinks with an umbrella or a monkey. By admitting to have seen the worthless spineless drivel on this website (also known as content)

I Agree Wholeheartedly and Without Reservation to the above. (Except maybe for that part about the monkey.)

No. Really, I do agree.
