With StoreFront 3.7, we introduced the ability to import an exported configuration from NetScaler Gateway. With the introduction of this feature, we enhance the capabilities previously available by allowing multiple vServers to be imported from a single configuration file.

The Remote access settings configured within the NetScaler administration console have to be identical to those configured in StoreFront.

This article provides you requirements needed to import NetScaler exported configuration file into Storefront.

Requirements:-
 

• NetScaler 11.1.51.21 or higher is required to export multiple gateway vServers to a zip file. Note: NetScaler 11.1.51.21 can only export gateway vServers created using the XenApp and XenDesktop wizard.
• It must be possible for DNS to resolve, and for StoreFront to contact, all STA (Secure Ticket Authority) server URLs in the GatewayConfig.json file within the .ZIP file generated by NetScaler.
• The GatewayConfig.json file within the .ZIP file generated by NetScaler has to contain the URL of an existing Citrix Receiver for Web site on the StoreFront server. NetScaler 11.1 and higher takes care of this by contacting the StoreFront server and enumerating all existing stores and Citrix Receiver for Web sites before generating the .ZIP file for export.
• StoreFront must be able to resolve the callback URL in DNS to the gateway VPN vServer IP address for authentication using the imported gateway to succeed.
  • The callback URL and port combination you use is usually the same as the gateway URL and port combination, as long as StoreFront can resolve this URL.

• The callback URL and port combination may be different from the gateway URL and port combination if you use different external and internal DNS namespaces in your environment. If you gateway is located in a DMZ and uses a <example.com> URL and StoreFront is on your private corporate network and uses a <example.local> URL you may use a <example.local> callback URL to point back to the gateway vServer in the DMZ.
