Have you had your external SSL based Virtual Servers on a Citrix NetScaler scanned? Scanning with free utilities such as ssllabs.com can ensure that you have the proper certificate chain on the NetScaler to avoid any certificate errors on browsers. In addition, this can flag any security issues with your SSL based virtual servers.
But what if you don’t get an “A”? Let’s look at what causes a lower letter grade, and what you can do to improve your score.
Proxy servers and VPN services are an important feature for today’s mobile business to adapt. They allow users to remotely access the company network when working from a virtual office. They can also open the door to a malicious attack if not properly managed and allowed to users in limited form. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know and how your company can protect itself from ransomware like CryptoLocker and the newest incarnation, Cerber.
I always encourage clients to use the single image management solutions provided by Citrix. When done correctly, Machine Creation Services (MCS) and Provisioning Services (PVS) deployments can significantly decrease administrative overhead of managing images.
Updating the gold/master image and deploying read-only copies ensures not only consistency and ease of use in the environment, but makes the environment user-proof. Unfortunately, sometimes when clients implement MCS or PVS, it doesn’t play well with their current applications. These hurdles can make a client want to abandon single image management, but we can utilize tools that are already built into the Active Directory environment to resolve these issues. Here's how.

I’m often asked by our customers how to save on costs related to printing, copying and faxing. One of the easiest solutions to implement, with cost savings realized almost right out of the gate, is Print Governance. In the last two posts, I shared WHAT Print Governance is and WHY it's an important solution for businesses of any size to implement and then the HOW with the top 10 features and benefits.
The final step is to decide what Print Governance application is right for your business.
Our mobile devices are a great way to accelerate our lives and make them easier and less hectic, especially when navigating the holiday shopping rush. Unfortunately, malicious scammers know this too and are now hijacking retail stores’ mobile applications, hoping you’ll install their fake version on your mobile device so they can steal your identity.

Deploying Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS) with your new XenApp/XenDesktop site? Consider the benefits of Machine Creation Services (MCS) first.

Did you know that you can configure NetScaler so users don’t have to type in the https:// when going to StoreFront or the NetScaler Gateway URLs?
More often than not, this is accomplished using a crude method in which port 80 http Virtual Server is configured on the same IP as the https site and the Redirect URL field in the protection section of the Virtual Server is set. While this works just fine, it unfortunately also renders a permanently Down Virtual Server in the Load Balancing screen.
Good news though, there is a better way to configure the redirection that renders all of the Virtual Servers as Up by using Responder Policies.
