CAG is the best solution for secure access to Citrix resources inside a
company and a strong contender for the best SSL VPN solution as well. In
terms of access to a Citrix environment, it is a hardened LINUX appliance
with redundant hardware options that removes the needs for Windows in the
DMZ, adds greater performance and is tightly integrated into the rest of
their products. From a single remote URL, users can gain a session with full
security very easily. It can check the end computer and validate for
anything you require such as OS, patch levels, virus scanner, virus
definition versions, etc.
In short, it is high security, easy to install and maintain- it Rocks !

Oke, thanks for the input, my job outside the citrix community leaves me
with little possibilities to gain kowledge of the new products..
I have one last question about this.....
do you guys think the CAG is the best solution if you want to provide real
secure access to a citrix environment for a large bank?
Can someone draw me a sketch about how this fits in, compared to the "old"
secure gateway solution....??? I've stopped gaining knowledge there....
I really would hope Cirix would do more about demo sites.....it's
annoying...I feel like I'm asking stupid questions....
thanks again guys for all the effort....
Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards,
Rob

There is a non-Java version of the Kiosk client available on the AG but it
is not linked from the main portal page like it was in previous versions. It
is basically a VNC client that gets downloaded to a temp location on the
client and executed. Find it at https://<AGFQDN>/CitrixSAKiosk.exe.
I haven't played with the SecurID but doesn't the SecurID authentication
mean that you only authenticate using your passcode and is not combined with
your AD credentials? I think combining AD credentials with SecurID
authentication is planned for AG 4.2 and is what Citrix calls "two-factor"
authentication as opposed to the single authentication of SecurID (even
though SecurID is two-factor all by itself).

"no client" assumes java is available!
Secure ID integration is easy and complete

we have a bank in vienna that needs a citrix environment as secure as
possible...
from what I read there's some kiosk mode with no client installation.
when I hear no clien installation....I wake up....sure there's some plugin
needed isn't there?
the applicance gives you the option....the publish apps to normal citrix
client outside and/or run in kiosk mode or users have " no" clients.?????
how about intergration with secure ID? do you have any experience with that?
thanks for your time...
I'm going to Vienna on monday for a meeting with the customer.....

I have 2 gateways running in my production environment. I can try and
answer any questions. I find them to be extremely basic and no frills, easy
to management, just do what they are advertised to.

Hi,
I'm looking for more than one PDF about the new Citrix appliance, the access
gateway.
Can anyone help me with some hands on experience? Or a demo site..
For some prjects (although I'm not in the Citrix bussiness, I get the
questions) I would like to use something like this appliance.
But with only one pdf to read it's hard to advice someone what to do.
Thanks for any help
Greetings
Rob
