Support for the Citrix DaaS environments

The Citrix Gateway service for StoreFront supports the Citrix DaaS environments. It is assumed that you already have an on-premises NetScaler Gateway. You can continue to use the same gateway for authentication and remote access to your StoreFront store. You can also use the same gateway to provide HDX routing to a subset of resources, such as those hosted by a Citrix DaaS deployment which Citrix Gateway service does not support. For more details on configuring NetScaler Gateway, see the StoreFront documentation.

To configure Citrix Gateway service for HDX routing for some or all of your resources, create a gateway in StoreFront, and then use the Optimal Gateway Routing functionality of StoreFront to configure when it needs to be used.

  1. Open the StoreFront management console.

  2. Create a gateway instance of type Gateway Service for HDX. For more information, see Configure Citrix Gateways. Select gateway instance

  3. In the StoreFront management console, select the store and then select the Configure Store Settings action on the right-hand panel.

  4. Select the Optimal HDX Routing page. The dialog displays all the gateway instances capable of tunneling an HDX connection, including the Gateway Service gateway. For more information, see Optimal HDX Routing.

  5. Select the Gateway Service for HDX gateway that you created and click Manage Delivery Controllers. Select the resource feed for your Citrix DaaS tenant.

Alternatively, if you only want to use Gateway Service for HDX for certain resource locations, click Manage Zones and provide the names of the resource locations for which the gateway instance must be used.

Select gateway instance
