First I've heard about Citrix intending to ditch the Access Gateway line in favour of the NetScalar products, unless they bring out a low cost NetScalar product they'll be cutting out a large chunk of their market I would have thought.
Anyhoo, Tom, it depends on what client licenses you bought with your Citrix Access Gateway as to whether you can use the AAC software. If you got the standard CAG client licenses, you'll need to upgrade them to Universal CAG client licenses in order to use the box in Advanced mode. Citrix are suggesting people transition off of Secure Access Gateways to Citrix Access Gateways as they're more robust and easier to maintain etc. http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/feature.asp?contentID=26145 From: Webster [mailto:carlwebs...@gmail.com] Sent: 13 April 2009 17:52 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anyone using Citrix Access Gateway appliance Yes, AAC runs on a server that you point the CAG too. With AAC you have a LOT of control over who connects and where they go once you allow them to connect. That component is tested very heavily for the Citrix certifications. Webster From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org] Subject: RE: Anyone using Citrix Access Gateway appliance Thanks. Does the Advanced Access Control software run in conjunction with the CAG? My CAGs are fairly new and despite what Citrix wants they need to last at least a few years. Citrix as a company seems to fail to understand that non-profits just don't have the funds that their big customers have. Off-topic, sorry. >>> "Webster" <carlwebs...@gmail.com> 4/13/2009 10:02 AM >>> Use the Advanced Access Control software from Citrix. The CAG appliances will be going away soon as will the AAC software. Citrix is moving everyone (or wants to) to the NetScaler line of appliances. The NetScaler has the AAC software functionality built-in. A NetScaler is also very expensive but has a lot more features and functionality. Webster From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org] Subject: Anyone using Citrix Access Gateway appliance Hi Folks, I have about 30 sites that connect to use via the Secure Access Gateway. These are broadband sites with maybe 2-5 users. There are no firewalls at these locations. User PCs connect to a low-end switch and that's it. At our LAN/WAN sites we enforce a number of content filtering policies via our firewall. I was planning to purchase a number of SOHO firewalls for these locations and have static VPNs set up for each. Someone mentioned I might be able to achieve the same goal via the Access Gateway, and requiring users to connect via the CAG client before users can do anything. I'd like to force users at these sites to logon to the domain if possible. Is this possible via the Access Gateway, and if so, how? === STEMCOR CONFIDENTIALITY AND DISCLAIMER NOTICE This e-mail is intended only for the addressees named in it.
