[THIN] Re: Microsoft buys SSL VPN Company.....

Doug,

We do not comment on rumors or speculation.   I really don't know anything more 
than you do.  :)  I know you'll want to know more.  You need to contact David 
Greschler.

Jim

    A bit off subject but not really..  

     

    Did you guys see that Microsoft just acquired a SSL VPN company???  Weird, 
hardware. but it is a Windows based VPN. unlike the CAG that is Linux.    To 
learn more check this out:

    What do you think??    I think this is going to be very interesting for 
Citrix as they are going to compete with Microsoft in the SSL VPN (CAG) and the 
app deploy (Tarpon) markets.

    I don't recall the license port, but it is the standard one and is in the 
documentation. When you enable AAC mode the CAG's no longer require an explicit 
license entry, the AAC takes that over as well as most other functions. You can 
secure the communication between CAG and AAC with SSL port 443 or just 80 and 
9005 for management...

    Thanks Steve.. I didn't know that the Presentation Server license Server 
can be used to license CAGs. 

    What ports is it communicating to the CAGs: is it citrix port?  Can it be 
changed to 443?

    If we think to add AAC later, can we continue using a Presentation License 
Server or we need to move it to the AAC license Server?

     

    Thanks again

      With CAG 4.2 you can actually use the same Citrix license server you use 
for Presentation Server if you want to. In this case, it is the standard 
netbios name of the server, i.e. just the machine name (you can type hostname 
at the command line to see this)

       

      Alternately, you can upload the license file into the CAG box itself. In 
that case you use the value entered is in the filed called "FQDN" on the 
network setup screen. When doing this the licenses, and the cert by the way, 
are included in the backup file so be sure to save off the config, this could 
save you a lot of work if you ever have a hardware failure or have to rebuild 
the boxes.

       

      If you already have a Citrix licensing server I recommend using it when 
you have more than one CAG.

       

      Also note that the when you fulfill your license file from 
www.mycitrix.com you do have to provide the license server hostname. However, 
these licenses can be returned and reallocated to a different hostname if 
needed.

        Steve,

        Can you answer this quick question, for me please.

        We just received 2 new CAGs and  I need to set them up as quickly as 
possible.  

        I am fairily new to Citrix and didn't work with the CAGs yet. ( I've 
impelmented the software version of CSG in our env.))

         

         

        The documenation on CAG is pretty detailed.  The question I have is 
about the licensing.

        As I understand, once you download it with the wrong host name -its 
unpossible to change it. ???

         

        I am in the process of downloading the CAG licenses and need to enter 
the host name.

        What do I use?  Is it the URL (common name) that is assigned to our 
external DNS?  like hostname.insurity.com?

        I don't see any other host names that is being assigned to the CAGs.

         

        Thanks in advance.

          Mind expanding upon the enterprise deployment components ?

           

          Are you doubling things up for failover ? Seperate AAC components ?

          Using Netscaler ?

            Great timing, right in the middle of an Enterprise deployment and 
seeing some of these issues!
