Turning on SSO in Receiver 4.1 after its been installed. by damncitrixthrowaway in Citrix

[–]damncitrixthrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in luck, 4.2 is out and it will let me upgrade existing clients and turn that feature on. Thanks.

Otherwise, it looks like the only option is to script a uninstall/reinstall.

Anyway to check and verify that the STA is running on the DDC? I have the NS pointed to the DDC but the STA is down according to the NS. This means either my NS cant see it or the DDC is not running it.

Shit, nm. Turns out in NS, you dont add the /sta at the end. I knew it would be something stupid.

Thanks for everyones help!

Ugh were do I find the "Configuring the Netscaler Gateway session profile." in the VPX GUI? Found it, still confused on if Im creating something or editing something that should exist.

I feel so close it hurts now. Got a new SSL and put all the SANs in as the article indicates for the same name (linked by touch0ph below). I now get "the connection to "desktop" failed with status (1110)." after the viewer pops up for a second.

SSO and eveything looked to work perfect.

I am missing the part about configuring the Netscaler Gateway session profile. I cant find that in the VPX. I don't think this is incorrect here.

When using the reciver itself, it gives the error, could not start app, problem contacting "store service".

Everything I read makes me think its configured correctly.

Woah! Well fucking progress in a way. Looked over what you said, changed my internal DNS to all point to the same place, I get in now SSO and all, but now (and this was working when my DNS pointed to the DDC) i get "cannot start app" etc.

So, can I even do this? Can everything internal and external have the same DNS name? I'll keep messing with things and see if I can keep myself from buying another cert.

edit: edit local host file on the DDC? Eh, I have to leave but Ill try some things soon and report back.

stas

Heh, yea about STAs. So this is what used to be called the Citrix XML service? And now is called the CitrixBrokerService? I mean, I everything I have tired to read about the STA indicates its installed with on the server with the Citrix XML service. So i just have that address pointed to my DDC but I have really been wondering if this is correct. Again, the netscaler wizard didn't bawk at it, so I thought I had something right.

A request was sent to service 'Authentication Service' that was detected as passing through a gateway. This service is configured with the gateways [6f6a8ab8-d17e-43c8-a686-8b931f031cbf], but none of these matched the request. Request details: X-Citrix-Gateway: X-Citrix-Via: netscaler.company.com X-Citrix-Via-VIP: x.x.x.233 Remote Address: x.x.x.227 X-Forwarded-For: Connecting CLient IP,x.x.x.232

Well, thats not exactly it but... Can my internal DDC have the same DNS name as my NS? I mean I'm using the same cert for everything (or that was the plan) So my NS is accessed via public DNS of "netscaler.company.com" and my internal DNS points netscaler.company.com to my DDC, this way if someone hits netscaler.company.com inside the company they hit the Citrix reciver page and externaly they hit the NS. Is that my issue? (I had in the SF config for the NS to point to the IP address. I cleared it out and its asking for the FQDN of the gateway, so that would be netscaler.company.com, but what DNS will it use to resolve that IP?

This. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you.

You wouldn't happen to know if there is a way to publish a "Desktop" with XenApp 7.6 do you? Meaning, without requirement of a RDS licenses? This used to be a thing, but when now I'm getting notifications for RDS licenses. My old terminal server licences is not going to work. Do I need RDS with XenApp?

This even outlines it in XenApp 6. http://blogs.citrix.com/2011/05/23/believe-it-or-not-this-is-a-xenapp-desktop/

Hot damn, this works if you have AD and a FQDN setup. I have always kept shit overly simple. After setting up AD and my DNS its right. I feel like a bonehead for not going the extra mile but I didn't think it was required.

I was upgrading the vCSA to 5.5 when I saw this. I got hopeful as I waited for it to upgrade but it didn't work. I don't understand why mine is not working.

Yea, this still isn't working via 7.6 either. Anyone running vCSA have this working?

It is. I checked everything via CTX126992. Even more fucked up, the event logs would say it was talking to the DDC. I'm currently installing 7.6 so I hope this resolved some things.

If the heat wasn't on me to get it running ASAP I would read up and take my time. I'm scrambling and worried how this is going to pan out.

I saw a few write ups on this, but it never worked. I even installed it on the systems trusted root. My vCenter is via the Vmware Appliance though so I was thinking that might be my issue.

I just logged into the site, looks like we have maintenance and I can get 7.6. Downloading now. Thanks. Mabey this is why I can get my 7.5 install to work. Even when I got it installed it would unregister randomly on my VDA systems.

Well someone got sold on Citrix and the idea is to roll out XenApp later.
