Hi



Damn....  I was really hoping Citrix
would support third party VPN products...  We use Cisco ASA Appliances
here..  I will check to see if the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility
Client works on IPAD..  How would it work???  Would I still need
to use Citrix receiver once the VPN is established?  The ipad browser
doesn't recognise any Citrix clients installed when I use Web SSL to connect
to the WI so not entirely sure how this VPN client would work..



Has anyone used Cisco AnyConnect Secure
Mobility Client  on an IPAD??



Thanks

Sorry, I may be straying off topic, but wanted to clarify something before 
others respond. When I talk about two factor authentication not being supported 
via the Web Interface/CSG solution, I am referring to the PNAgent (XenApp 
Services) sites only, which is what the iPAD/iPhone/Android devices uses. It is 
of course supported for the XenApp Web Services sites, which are accessed via a 
browser. Cheers,Jeremy. From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: [THIN] Re: IPAD Citrix receiver config issue Yes, the Citrix Receiver 
will only communicate with the Citrix ICA Proxy (CSG/CAG/AGEE/AGEE/NetScaler). 
The iPhone has support for the Cisco SSL VPN client, so I assume the iPAD can 
too using the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. However, I am always 
curious as to why organisations force staff to VPN in before being allowed to 
access applications and Desktops delivered by XenApp and/or XenDesktop. It’s 
secure to present the apps via a CSG/CAG/AGEE/NetScaler over SSL (HTTPS), and 
provides the users with one simple step. The Citrix Receiver simply talks to a 
PNAgent (XenApp Services) Site as you are already doing internally. There is 
one thing to be wary of. If you are using two factor authentication for remote 
access, such as RSA or Safeword, it’s not supported via the free CSG 
implementation. This is because CSG is simply a reverse proxy for Web 
Interface, so you are actually authentication against Web Interface. You will 
need to use a CAG/AGEE/NetScaler here. The users will authenticate against the 
CAG/AGEE/NetScaler, and the credentials will automatically be passed to Web 
Interface so that there is a single sign on process. You should download the 
free NetScaler VPX appliance. You can also get a free 30 day trial cert, and 
test it all out. There are heaps of Citrix whitepapers on how to do this. The 
base NetScaler Standard license now allows you to implement an ICA Proxy at no 
additional licensing costs, which makes it a no brainer. Cheers,Jeremy. From:

Hi

We use PNAgent internally already and that works fine internally.  My issue is 
getting the ipad to talk to the PNAgent site from external.  We have a Cisco 
ASA VPN and I dont know if I can connect using an IPAD as it appears all IPAD 
Gateway options are for Citrix Access Gateway/CSG..

Does the IPAD work if an ASA VPN is in use??

To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx need to create PNA site on your WI and make sure 
appliance is configured to go to that site for mobile devices.

Hi 

Im trying to setup my IPAD so I can access the company network when remote..  
Im having issues getting it to connect.  Our setup is as follows: 

Cisco ASA VPN Appliance 
RSA two factor Authentication 
Citrix XenApp 5 running on Windows 2003 (all on Internal Network) 

I have downloaded the Citrix Receiver client and am presented with the 
following options when configuring the Citrix Receiver Workspace 

Address 
Username 
Password 
Domain 
Gateway 

Is the Address field the link to the Web Interface XML file or is it the 
external http for the VPN Appliance? 
Username/Password/Domain Im assuming are internal AD credentials 
Gateway - The receiver appears to be hardcoded for Citrix Access gateway 
appliance.  How do I tell the Receiver client to use Cisco ASA VPN Appliance 
with RSA Authentication?  Im confused about what settings go where. 

As a test I could use the IPAD web browser and could connect to the VPN ASA 
Address.  I can authenticate thru the RSA 2 factor login and can authenticate 
to the Web Interface server.  The Citrix apps dont load through as there is no 
recognisable client installed..  Im assuming I need to use receiver to connect 
but cannot make the VPN work..  Any help muchly appreciated..
