[THIN] Re: 1 x Web Interface servicing multiple Citrix 4.0 Farms over WAN

Hi

Where can I find good documentation on setting this up?  How does WI know what 
farm a user belongs to? If I have a CTX Farm in US and another in Canada.  A US 
User logs in, how does he get directed to the US Farm?  Is it based on IP, AD 
group?  Are there different links on the WI page?

Also in relation to Citrix WI versions, is it always best to go with the latest 
and greatest?  I recall reading that WI 4.6 is faster than V5?  My farm is 
version 4 so I need to ensure the version works with this old version.

Sorry for the silly question but Ive never done this before.  

Angela

You can include multiple farms in a single web interface. In the settings 
within WI just specify more than one farm and define one or more servers within 
the farm for app enumeration.

In a distributed environment you gave to look at AD and WAN communications but 
WI is not a limiting factor, in fact, it is deosgned to aggragate mutilple 
farms.

Hi 

I think you need to create new web sites for each farm in Single Citrix web 
interface servers and make sure that communication between the servers should 
happen to each farm.

U should have a 2 web interface for load balancing and fault tollance purpose.

  Hi

We have multiple Citrix 4.0 farms in separate offices around the world.  Each 
office has its own WI Server.  I want to consolidate and use 1 WI Server in 
Head Office only.  Can 1 WI Server be configured so users connect to different 
farms in their own country?  I cant find any info on configuring WI Servers 
this way.  The Links between sites are 2Mb Frame Relay.  Web Interface version 
being used is V4.2.

Will it work reliably?

Thanks
Ang
