so to put this in perspective, everything works if you don't go to WI.  say
you allow vpn access to thsoe users, then the appropriate groups are
enforced.  if you go straight to WI though then everyone gets through?  Or
is that groups are not enforced at all?

Sounds like you are asking for the same thing I asked about a while ago.

I have my CAG going straight to WI using SSO.  (Hit CAG in browser, put
in username/password, click OK and you are dropped into WI and you see your
apps.) Qw don't use the VPN features of the CAG at all.

The only thing I ever came up with was to direct requests to an IIS server
first and use NTFS security based on group membership to determine if the
basic auth to the IIS server would allow them to then redirect to the CAG.
A few issues can be caused by this (SSL and DNS in particular) depending on
the network location of the IIS server, CAG, and inside/outside access
needs.

I never looked to see if this kind of functionality is available via AAC,
but this is such a simple request/option, I couldn't understand why it's not
available.

Alternatively, you could just do this security on the WI server.  I
suppose it's not as secure, because users you don't want through the CAG in
the first place get through, but at least you could block them from loading
the WI page unless they were in a particular NTFS group.

We go to the CAG, it asks for credentials, we then go to our Web interface
URL rather than the default gateway portal….



Once in the WI, they click on their applications and launch a VPN
connected Citrix app.



I must be missing something.

Oh so we aren't talking about the VPN connection.  If you are going direct
to WI and not authenticating to the CAG before hand then this would be as
expected.

I created 2 groups, in the CAG.  Each is working fine, however, ALL users
in the AD domain are able to get through it and into it as well.



We have it set to go directly to our Web Interface page…

Is this simply the CAG?  You can setup groups in the CAG that would allow
you to define who has access.

I have it configured for LDAP, working great…well…sort of…



I want it to only allow the users/groups I grant rights to, the ability to

Can anyone assist?
