You're correct. I was just trying to clear up the conception that some
people think they need a dedicated server to run STA.

Did I misunderstand? STA does not run as a service, IIS runs as a
service which is required for the STA. The STA is just a DLL. Now, CSG
does run as a service. I would not recommend installing IIS on a farm
server. Just me...

Mat,
Golden rule is never have your STA beside your CSG. Put it on a
farm server!

The STA runs as a service. Run WI and CSG on same box in DMZ.
Pick a server behind your firewall and install the STA. They is no
performance impact on the existing server to run theSTA

We have a good firewall and the Web server will be located in
the DMZ behind that. I need to run on this server Citrix Web Interface,
Citrix Secure Gateway, and Secure Ticket Authority. Do you think I can
run all 3 on the same server? From reading the link it seems to be
possible.
Thanks for all your help:-)

If you only have one server then it should be the CSG. It should
be stand alone in a DMZ and securely locked down within an inch of its
life :-) When I say DMZ even a good Access Control Lists on your routers
would be fine, although I know nothing about Comms!
The STA component could be on one of the Farm servers.

Thank you for your input!!!
I like the idea of using CSG because I don't have to open up
port 1494 to the outside world.
1) Our system is low budget and I just can't afford another
server to run STA on. Do you think I could run it on the Web
Interface/CSG server or on my Metaframe datastore server?
2) If I can't do option 1 then I think I should just run Web
Interface and skip the CSG/STA option. If I do this how can I force
"128Bit Only" for external users?
Thanks again for all your help....I am reading the latest
Administrator guides now.

You can have your Secure Gateway and Nfuse / Web Interface on
the one server. Install your SSL cert on this server and put it in your
DMZ, only allow access to port 443 on the CSG.
The only issue here is that you have an additional server which
acts as a Secure Ticket Authority to support the CSG - the STA should
sit outside the DMZ beside the farm. You have the option of letting the
CSG talk to the STA on port 80, or you can install a SSL cert on the STA
as well.
You can publish you application with standard security settings,
as the CSG will encrypt all the traffic using 128 bit SSL. The users
never need to connect directly to the farm servers.
Cheers,
Scott

Subject: [THIN] Web Interface 2.0
I am slightly out of touch with Citrix XP Web Interface (I have
used NFuse not Web Interface). My goal is to have a company portal all
users can hit both internal and external to access Citrix applications.
Solution:
1) Single web server running Windows 2003, IIS6 and Citrix Web
Interface.
2) Purchase SSL cert to secure all web traffic to and from
Citrix Web Interface.
3) Open 1494 ports into to each Citrix server from the internet.
4) Configure Web Interface for "128Bit only" for ICA traffic
Questions:
1) Do I need secure gateway? What is secure gateway all about?
2) Can I configure Citrix Web Interface to force "128bit only"
for external users and only use "128bit logon only" for internal users?
I don't want to publish applications twice.
I was planning to read up on this but now I have been told this
needs to be done right now...(my manager never sticks to the schedule).
Thanks for any help!!!
