3 Module 1 Introduction to Citrix XenApp, backgrounds and history IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 3

4 A Bit of History Citrix was found in 1989 in Texas, US by an IBM developer Ed Iacobucci that worked on the OS/2 project His vision was to build multi-user support for OS/ Citrix, no income at all Citrix received funding from both Intel and Microsoft as well as venture capitalists. Without the help of this funding, Citrix would not have survived In 1993, Citrix purchased the product "Netware Access Server" from Novell, and developed the product further and released it as WinView. It became Citrix's first successful product IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 4

5 XenApp Evolution MultiView -> WinFrame -> MetaFrame -> Presentation Server -> XenApp XenApp 5, run on Server 2003 or Server 2008 XenApp 6, run on Server 2008 R2 (2008 R2 is 64-bit OS) IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 5

6 What is XenApp A remote access publishing platform that allows users to connect to their business applications. Also XenApp can stream and deliver them to user devices for local execution. XenApp servers, using server hardware (CPU, Memory, hard disk, etc), and images are send to user client devices, instead to the server screen. A XenApp client shows the XenApp published applications to users like a local installed application. IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 6

19 Module 6 Introduction to Citrix Management Console IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 19

20 Single management point More than 1 console in XenApp 5 IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 20

21 Module 7 Installing and configuring Citrix Web Interface server IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 21

22 Web Interface Communications Process 1.User enters credentials through Web Interface 2.WI forwards credentials to the Citrix XML Service on a XAS (XenApp Server) 3.The credentials are forwarded to a DC for authentication 4.The Citrix XML Service retrieves a list of resources from the IMA based on the user s credentials 5.WI presents the resources to the user. The user clicks a resource icon 6.WI contacts the Citrix XML Service to locate the least busy XAS in the farm. The Citrix XML Service requests a secure ticket for the user from the least busy server 7.The Citrix XML Service returns the address of the least busy XAS and the secure ticket to the WI. WI dynamically generates a customized ICA file (LAUNCH.ICA) and sends it to the web browser on the client device 8.The client device initiates a direct connection with the XAS specified in the connection section of the LAUNCH.ICA file IT Channel Confidential, prepared by Tommy Huang 22
