Application Delivery Management

Data governance

Customer authentication is of vital importance to an organization because it enables the organization to protect its network resources by permitting only authenticated customers or users to access its network. As an admin, it is important that you identify your users before you let them connect to the resources in the Citrix network.

From 12.1 release 50.x build onwards, Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM) requires that you authenticate yourself on the ADM GUI before you begin accessing the information. It is a requirement that you must register yourself on Citrix cloud services before you authenticate yourself on ADM. You must provide the Citrix cloud user credentials on ADM GUI. For more info, see Sign up for Citrix Cloud.

There are different ways to authenticate yourself on Citrix ADM. The following sections describe the workflows if you are a new user or an existing user on ADM.

Workflow if you are a new user

  1. Complete the installation of Citrix ADM on the selected hypervisor.

  2. Configure the various required IP addresses.

  3. In a web browser, type the IP address of the Citrix ADM.

  4. In the User Name and Password fields, enter the administrator credentials.

  5. The Configure Customer Identity page opens where you must identify yourself with your Citrix cloud credentials.

    If you haven’t created an account on Citrix cloud, click Citrix Cloud to register.

  6. Click Authenticate and provide your email address which you have used to register on Citrix cloud.

  7. Select the check box next to “I agree to share data for telemetry” and click Submit.
