Description
Provide assistance through the end to end process of securing XML traffic.
Instructions
Prerequisites
- Create or import suitable certificates. See CVAD documentation - Manage certificates.
- Create a snapshot of Storefront and Delivery Controllers before doing any changes to production environments.
- Perform these actions during non-business hours to avoid user impact.
Steps
- Configure the delivery controllers with the certificate. See CVAD documentation - Configuring SSL/TLS listener port.
- If necessary, install the trusted root certificate on each StoreFront server. See CVAD documentation - Trusting certificates.
- To configure StoreFront to connect to the delivery controller over HTTPS, see StoreFront documentation - Add sites for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.
- If you are using a NetScaler Gateway for remote access and your delivery controllers as STA servers, configure StoreFront to retrieve STA tickets over HTTPS. See StoreFront documentation - Configure Citrix Gateways.
- Configure your NetScaler gateways to redeem STA tickets over HTTPS.
- If you have multiple servers in the server group then propagate the change to all servers. If you have multiple server groups then apply the changes to each server group.
- Disable HTTP access on the delivery controllers. See CVAD documentation - Enforce HTTPS traffic only.
Issue/Introduction
This article describes step by step how to secure XML traffic on CVAD Delivery Controllers and StoreFront (including all certificate enrollment).
