If you use only a cert on the Web page then only the session initiatiion is
encrypted, it will then hand off ICA session to the local client to talk to
the server directly. If you use Secure Gateway then the entire ICA session
stream is SSL encrypted and only port 443 is exposed to the Internet at the
firewall side.

What is the benefit of using Secute Gateway versus just having an SSL cert
on the web page?

Web Interface, Secure Ticketing Authority, and Secure Gateway are the way to
go. They're free and don't require too much horsepower to run. You can put
them both on the Same server in the DMZ and the Secure ticket Authority on
any IIS server inside. The only thing you open to the outside is 443 to the
server. Inbound you open the XML port to the Citrix servers and 80 to the
Secure Ticket Authority. It's that simple.

Hi all,
        I have been using Citrix MetaFrame in a LAN for many years and I
have never had to make the servers available to any external sites over the
web.  Now, I am required to provide secure access to some servers over the
web.  
My question is: what other Citrix software do I need to accomplish this?

A long time ago, I was familiar with Secure Gateway, but Citrix products
have changed so much lately that I am not sure how to make it happen
anymore. Could someone point me to any articles or white papers?

Thanks,
