We have not crushed all the grapes, but you are welcome to join us at Synergy Barcelona, ​​where we are " drink our own Rioja ".

Desktop Transformation is not a myth and Synergy Barcelona is the Citrix platform to share her reality with the world. We do this in the most direct way possible - by running Synergy Citrix virtualization technologies to demonstrate its power and reliability, and giving participants practical training and real experience with virtual desktops through the conference . This initiative is based on the Desktop Transformation Model, a proven methodology for desktop virtualization.

IT services are changing permanently their desktop infrastructure for efficient functionality, cost savings and overall quality improvement. As manager of the technical infrastructure of Synergy, I am faced with similar challenges. Synergy Barcelona, ​​I was responsible for modernizing our approach to deliver Windows applications to our participants while minimizing hardware costs and shipping. Using the Desktop Transformation Model to present the synergy of functions to our participants has been extremely beneficial.

combined Summit and Synergy is a marathon 5 days with minimal error hall. Once the event begins, it is dynamic non-stop, without downtime. Our deployments Synergy are directly and offer hands-on access to our products. learning labs of the Citrix Solutions Booth and service, these teams must be able to respond effectively to unexpected hardware or software failures.

Historically, working on individual built for Internet Access Centre, Bring your own mobility experience, scanning and recording of the session was like working in a vacuum. Now my son working together on a collaborative design where they can support and manage enterprise applications that are truly delivered as a service. We once had a semi-automatic configuration fault tolerance, but now with the DTM, we have a high-availability configuration.

Overall, the DTM has made us much more efficient. A major effort was once necessary to ensure the equipment appropriate way business class and software for independent solutions. Now we do not work so hard because we use a single enterprise-class infrastructure from integrated solutions providers

points the way The Synergy virtualization infrastructure for customers to achieve the same IT benefits for themselves -. One solution, high availability, scalability, Internet access and Bring Your Own Mobility Showcase, for example, are accurate representations of how an organization would provide virtual applications and desktops to task mobile workers -. infrastructure

See you in Barcelona ... and I prefer tinto with my vegetarian paella.

We are on the final countdown to the start of Synergy in Barcelona, ​​and I wanted to take a moment to discuss a crucial Citrix value: innovation. Citrix Synergy is not just a question of inspiration, it is also about the actual recognition innovation in our industry. And what better way to recognize that with a price of Citrix innovation?

Again, the price of the Citrix Innovation will focus on the really innovative use of an organization of Citrix technology to achieve significant business transformation. The standard of entries we received this time has been incredible, with particularly strong inflows from Europe and Asia.

With the full application process, and three finalists, let me tell you a little about the shortlisted organizations for recognition at Synergy:

Deutsche Bank as one of the largest financial services and successful organizations in the world, Deutsche Bank has improved the way its 100,000 employees in 73 countries work by allowing operators and other employees to access their Citrix virtual desktop any device anywhere in the world offices of the bank. Employees can now instantly connect with high-speed specialized systems, access to their office tools and virtual collaboration such as high definition video conferencing. The solution supports the sustainable development strategy of the Bank, as well as improving business continuity and enabling new flexible work arrangements for employees worldwide

KT Corporation (formerly Korea Telecom) :. A South Korean leading telecommunications provider, KT provides virtual desktops Citrix and Apple iPads to all 50,000 of its employees to create anytime, anywhere collaboration. This allows employees to "smart-work 'and make the most of their two hours of work and personal time, reducing travel time in a country with some of the worst global traffic. KT offers this infrastructure as a service to its customers of Korean SMEs, allowing them to obtain an enterprise-quality infrastructure without having to purchase their own technology. Several hundred customers signed within six months since the service was launched. The company also provides a computers desktop-as-a-service cloud solution to customers in Japan, offering a strong IT platform while significantly reducing the energy consumption of data centers and meet with Japanese government mandates in the wake of the tragedy Mars.

Royal Bank of Scotland: The British banking group used the Citrix virtual computing to power a transformation of "self-service IT. The group has virtualized more than 55,000 workstations and 1,800 requests for delivery to 65,000 employees across the UK, Ireland and the United States. Tens of thousands of workers can use any device, anywhere, including their own personal laptops, smartphones and tablets to access complete IT resources on demand in a highly secure environment. RBS employees can now choose how they work and collaborate, the organization has removed the shackles of office, and turned the work into something of their employees are doing, rather than a place where they go.

Now it's up to you to tell us what organization you think deserves to win! You can watch videos of each of these finalists discussing their technological innovation here, and more importantly, you can also vote.

Voting is open now and closes on Tuesday, October 25. The winner will be announced during the keynote by Mark Templeton, Wednesday, October 26 ^e , from 10:30 CET.

I heard time and again: "Many companies want to take advantage of cloud computing, but do not want not give up their own data centers. "I have also heard the term" hybrid cloud "more crudely defined and used over and over again. I would make a bet that if you were in a computer room people and asked everyone to define "What is the hybrid cloud?" You get a different answer and perspective with every person you talk. Let the logic of single cloud ...

Enterprise administrators want to take advantage of low-cost computing in the cloud, while keeping things as databases, data storage and services directory in a safe place, on site. the quicker we can come to grips with the realization that each application workload is cloud dignified, more CloudBridge be logical

Here is a scenario of my world. I want to migrate the Web application level to the cloud, but leave the database safely in my data center. How do you do I do that? Or I want to run Windows 7 desktops in a supplier cloud, but leave Microsoft Active Directory and storage in my data center. Feasible? Yes! Here's why ...

The fundamental objective CloudBridge core Citrix is ​​to make cloud hosted applications appear to administrators, tools and even the applications themselves, as if they are running on the network business. CloudBridge is an open foundation for building an extended cloud datacenter transparent. I mean, let's face it, networking is CORE to cloud computing

Citrix CloudBridge:

• makes the cloud provider look network, as a natural extension of your network enterprise data center
• help to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of migrating applications to the cloud
• Reduces the risk of application failures, especially those from application migration
• larger Active, a more advanced use of cloud computing

in Q4 2011, we will leave this up a notch and launch:

1. IaaS "cloud catalog" within Citrix CloudBridge. cloud Leading vendors worldwide will be "pre-certified" to support Citrix CloudBridge This provides enterprises a validated list cloud computing datacenters worldwide that can be easily exploited for additional capacity.

What does this mean? Simply put ( NOTE: This is a model and NOT the final GUI):

We will feature our GUI any cloud provider that is ready to support Citrix CloudBridge like a piece of their cloud offering

1. simple, "one-sided" setup: automation Wizard-driven between Citrix CloudBridge and major cloud providers, it is easier for companies to expand their networks from entirely within the NetScaler user interface.

What does this mean? We want to work with each cloud provider to provide "one-click" configuration and connection in the graphical interface of their data center to cloud YOU !!

• CloudBridge Citrix Ready program: Citrix also launched a Citrix Ready certification program, enabling any cloud provider to certify its cloud as "CloudBridge Ready".

What does this mean? We will work with you to ensure that Citrix CloudBridge work with your cloud, your API and allow businesses to leverage your cloud in a way they did not realize they could!

So in the end ... we want companies to use your cloud so they do not realize! Citrix CloudBridge is the first step. Integrate your cloud in our GUI is the next step. Together these actions will cloud computing to a new level!

Reflections on VDI Write-Cache Storage Alternatives.

It is quite common that the overall cost of implementing VDI-up is over 80% dependent on the shared storage cost, especially when dealing with instances of VDI one tenant. Const purchases of effectiveness based on the bulk storage acquisition, hindering the possibility of incremental growth. At the same time the scalability of short- and long-term system is largely related to the storage design that should be reviewed during implementation VDI lifecycle.

It is also easy view that traditional VDI implementations favor server hosts in a blade form factor at the high densities of users targeting. the design of the blade revolves centered to the shared storage and little space for alternatives such as cheap local disk arrays available with 1U servers called "pizza boxes".

Consider the design pizza box where local storage can take the load carrier for writing requirements Cache While the search for alternatives to reduce dependence on shared storage and cutting the implementation in all, we will ensure that.

• predictable scalability at a reasonable cost
• provisions for incremental growth
• universal design model is ready to scale
• requirements solid time are met

as a starting point, let's look Provisioning picture "standard" via Citrix Provisioning Server. with write caching on the target VM only the data necessary for VM to run is transmitted, saving valuable storage space and time by not requiring the entire image to download on VM. This approach provides excellent resilience with minimal network load. Write-cache partition can also be used as a home for the system page file, store persistent data that can survive across reboots for newspapers such events, dumps and Citrix Personal vDisk, etc.

Some design deltas when comparing shared vs. local storage:

• High Availability (HA) capabilities with combination VDI + Hypervisor + PVS are achieved both shared storage and internal
• Although it is easier to reach FT (fault Tolerance) in a shared storage environment by simple opposition, HA, most VDI implementations do not offer the FT capacity due to the prohibitive cost
• shared storage allows for live VM migration of individual virtual machines is useful for maintenance on the fly hardware and rebalancing resources. However, there are practical limits when migrating large numbers of virtual machines in a typical VDI implementation
• Local storage design includes provisions for planned VM migrations can be accomplished by "bleeding" users to other physical hosts after disconnection and connection provided
• conservation persistent data on the shared storage is an easier task, although the local storage can provide backup and options as well

as an example of popular look 1U Dell and HP servers offers - R610 and DL360 G7 respectively available for around $ 10k- $ 16k

• 544 to 816GB of usable space ( 6 to 8x146GB, 15k drives, RAID 50 recommended)
• RAID controller storage quality with 512 to 1.024 MB cache
• 96-144 GB RAM
• Support more 100 users VDI single tenant (8GB of write cache, from 0.9 to 1.4 GB RAM, 100 Mbps per user) and about 100 0 VDI multi-tenant users or more

Although individual mileage may vary VDI implementations since all have identical requirements, we can clearly see the dramatic reduction potential costs at $ 100 / $ 0 per user in the host material costs, including storage. This contrasts the $ 1,000 cost per user equipment or more with common VDI implementations based entirely on expensive shared storage

In conclusion :.

Write-Cache unloading inexpensive high performance local storage provides linear scalability with provisions for incremental growth, affordable and sustainable. Independent accommodation in individual computer units offer excellent availability with less reliance on shared storage that can be optimized for storing data percistant and not trivialized as a dedicated write cache.

PS. To facilitate the adoption of local write cache and simplify disk management VDI simple technique described in the management of Citrix PVS Sheet Write-cache can be used.

For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting the Citrix Universal Print Server, it is finally here!

As promised during my session Summit in Barcelona last few weeks the technical overview of the Phaser project was assigned to MyCitrix.com November 8, 2011. All Citrix client that is ongoing with Subscription Advantage can download and evaluate the new feature of XenDesktop and XenApp.

This also means that you stop guys can stop filling my request packets inbox UPS beta and start sending me real feedback on your experiences with the preview code release

what Phaser project?
Phaser project represents the second phase of the laser, a multi-year initiative to improve printing. The first Laser fruits were delivered last year in XenApp 6 Printing Optimization Pack which focused on optimizing the print content and improve the printing speed. The characteristics of the laser are now included in XenDesktop 5.0 and XenApp 5.5 and 6.5.

Building on these initial deliverables Laser, Phaser project now extends Citrix Universal Print solutions to cover network printing scenarios. Here, we talk about the situation in which the host application directly accesses the shared printers on a network print server. Since access occurs directly from the session on the print server, sessions initiated from any type of customer will now have access to a full establishment of universal printing.

A Universal universal printing solution
When I say any type of customer, I really mean tOUT client. The solution in no way not depend on the capabilities customers because customers are simply not involved in the printing functions

For users, the solution looks and behaves exactly like sharing solution native Windows printing with two notable exceptions :.

1. The Citrix universal drivers can be used for these network printer connections. This means that there is no need for all the world's printer drivers to be available on your XenDesktop or XenApp host.
2. When the host application and print server are separated by a wide area network, the user experience to interact with the remote printer will be greatly improved because the protocols used are optimized for networks extended.

Here is a link to a short video made by Nicholas Carpenter (Phaser project test) provides a brief introduction to prop value Phaser Project.

How does the Phaser?
As you may know, the current universal printing solution provided in XenDesktop and XenApp works only with Windows endpoints equipped with the native Win32 client software. Indeed, the solution is based on a thin pilot being universal implementation in the host that acts as a proxy for running printer driver on the Windows client computer. The universal driver communicates with the running print engine on the client through a virtual channel ICA designed.

So that the engineering team has done is to adapt the UPD print engine to operate as a network service to a printer based on Windows server instead of a Windows client. Sounds easy, right?
Conceptually yes ... but in practice, this meant building a complete solution from one end to the network print server with the client, server and protocols that operate as Windows waits PLUS do all the things unique that are required to support Citrix universal printing needs.

Furthermore, protocols used must be carefully designed to perform well over WANs. In the end, we opted for a SOAP Web service-based protocol for communication of procedural elements of the print server universal driver. However this would not be the best choice to provide print workflow. So the delivery of compressed print data is carried out via a secondary TCP connection to a connection used by active print streams.

The diagram below illustrates the key elements of the solution.

Tech preview Packages
The Phaser Tech prerelease project works with XenDesktop or XenApp 5.5 or 6.5. However, to use the solution, you will also need one or more print servers running Windows Server 08 x86 (eg original 32 bit WS 08). Print servers running on 64-bit Windows Server 08 R2 are not quite ready.

After downloading the technology preview, you will see two exes self-extracting (UPClient and UPServer) plus several scripts to patch the necessary components.

The UPClient package must be deployed to XenApp 6.5 server or XenDesktop VDA 5.5 machine. In future versions XenApp and XenDesktop, this component will be delivered and installed automatically. The UPClient package can be installed on any platform supported by XenDesktop VDA 5.5 (WinXP, Vista or Windows 7, 64 or 32 bits) or XenApp 6.5 (Windows Server 08 R2).

The UPServer package adds the necessary services for an existing Windows print server. For preview technology, this must be an x86 server from Windows Server 08, but we will add support for Windows Server 08 R2 in the GA release.

The batch files are needed to update a couple of components with UPS knowledge. In particular, the Citrix Print Manager service must be aware of the UPS network printer connections to properly apply the driver policies. Furthermore, in order to configure the use of the inverter (it is disabled by default), a policy console update is needed. Indications for application of these updates are provided in the release notes with the technical package preview.

GA is scheduled for the first half of 2012, but the actual release date will depend on your comments and our beta test full capacity on all supported platforms. So please download the technology preview bits and lets us know what you think.

simple solutions Sign-On (SSO) are very popular, including Citrix XenApp own SSO offered and XenDesktop. As such it is not surprising that sometimes implemented SSO run into unforeseen challenges when it is quite difficult to use a simple "canned" recipe for SSO to work.

This paper presents the application SSOHelper successfully. used to leading SSO solutions sides to facilitate SSO appropriate action when the legend window is used as SSO trigger

Questions:

• application (let's call him "AppX") creates windows with default legend that is replaced at runtime with specific descriptions provided in the AppX code. Although a common period of 30 to 0 ms in replacing the legend SSO creates challenges, most of SSO solutions have the ability to delay the acquisition of window title mitigating the problem.
• A more serious problem arises when developers APPX are not intentionally or unintentionally replace the legend targeted authentication screens by default window SSO. The results of the circumstance in false identification of positive window producing "ghost typing" in unwanted areas of the program screen

The solution :.

Court to ask AppX the fixed code (which is not always possible), the solution is based on a custom application SSOHelper , which is designed to create friendly SSO legend of login screen to the application load.

SSOHelper.exe is very compact (less than 50 Kb), requires no installation and no intrusive to applications, he worked with

Step # 1 - deployment and configuration :.

SSOHelper.exe copy on the target machine that is used to load AppX. For example, the directory using

 C :.  SSOHelper  AppX 

where AppX reflects AppX reference because there could be other applications that need SSOHelper

Configuration is in SSOHelper.INI file as follows:

in one line - command line required to run AppX including the full path and switches. For example:

 "C:  program files  AppX  AppX.exe" / u: BLA / h: BLA 

In the second line - set separate Legend window for the desired first connection AppX screen, for example

 AppX login screen 

a line of three to the delay in milliseconds to wait before the change of subtitles (default is 10).

Save the file SSOHelper.INI beside SSOHelper.exe

Step # 2 - If the XenApp is required to publish by AppX SSOHelper. exe

command line:

 C:  SSOHelper  AppX  SSOHelper.exe 

Use standard AppX working directory. For example:

 C:  program files  AppX  

Choose appropriate icon, the description of the application, etc.

Step # 3 - Implement associated SSO models

Use day SSO models ensuring that the legend of the login window is the legend on the line 2 in the SSOHelper.INI file.

Since the time this article was produced the receiver configuration URL generator been updated with the neccessary changes - please return to the original tool to the new improved solution: the installer URL Generator receiver

Sincerely,

JRF ~ ~

=============

Citrix Community published a great way to automatically generate the Mobile Citrix Receiver configuration under: mobile receiver generator configuration URL. One limitation of this tool is the configuration of the configuration of the Web Interface Manual. As you may or may not be aware, the mobile receiver has the ability to launch a website integrated Web interface within the graphical interface of the receiver. This is usually configured in the "manual" configuration

Follow these steps to update the rover configuration URL to send a site integrated Web interface instead of configuring services Site :.

Step 1 :. Use the rover configuration URL generator to generate the URL necessary
Step 2 : Change the last variable "gw = 0" "wi = 1"

Your URL should look like:
citrixreceiver: // createProfile s = http% 3A% 2F% 2Faccess.furtaklab.net & pname = 20web Sample%%% 20Interface 20site & d = Furtaklab .net & wi = 1

the following is the result:

Continuing on the post last week when we discussed the NetScaler user interface that provides an excellent way to troubleshoot and diagnose the NetScaler system (/ blogs / 2012 / 01/19 / how easy it-is-diagnosetroubleshoot NetScaler /). This week we will focus on the "Utilities" section of the diagnostic page

batch configuration :. This utility provides a way to execute batch configuration on NetScaler. You can specify the command file from your client system or from the NetScaler appliance. The generated output can be pushed to a different file on the given path. You also get to see the output in the same window and you can record the output on your desktop

Ping / ping6 :. are the utilities to run Ping tool for IPv4 and IPv6, respectively. When you use this command-line tool, you realize how useful options are there. The simple " Count " option may limit the number of times of numbers you want to run ping. The " Timeout " provides data to ping the time to get out in case of failure. the " interval " option is the waiting time in seconds before sending the next request. " Interface " would you allow to choose the interface to use for the ping. " pattern " is where you fill in the hexadecimal model that goes into the data part. " Size " limit the amount of data sent with ping packet. " source IP address " allows you to spoof the source IP address for the ping packet to be sent. you can see out there or save it in the file and

TraceRoute / traceroute6 :. are the utilities to run the TraceRoute tool in IPv4 and IPv6 mode respectively. Even as ping, with TraceRoute you can see several important options in the feed section. " Packet Length " controls the packet length and default to 44 bytes and can go max 32768 bytes of data. " Minimum TTL " and " maximum TTL " are the minimum and maximum values ​​used for outgoing probe packets. " Protocol " allows you to specify the UDP or ICMP protocol name. " Port Number " is the basic port number used in probes. " Number of requests " is the number of times it will query by jumping. " Source IP address " you can specify and the possible use spoofed addresses as source for outbound requests. " Type of Service " option to specify the type of service in outbound requests. " Waiting time " is the waiting time in seconds for a response to a query. Then there are several boolean options you can choose to work with. You can also choose to save the output to a local file

Command Line Interface :. This is pretty interesting one that provides the CLI you can work on as a regular CLI. This is the context of the user interface and you have all the RBAC policies in this CLI access mode based on the user who is logged into the GUI. You can take all actions and execute all the commands you would on the regular CLI

Unzip File :. this tool will allow you to unzip a file on NetScaler

Start DST file synchronization :. This is very useful utility that allows you to synchronize files between primary and secondary. It provides you multiple file synchronization modes:

• Everything But licenses and rc.conf
  • Does any sync between leaving the license directory and rc.conf file
• Bookmarks
  • only synchronizes bookmarks saved SSLVPN fashion
• SSL certificate and key
  • syncs all in / nsconfig / ssl / directory
• EdgeSight scripts monitoring
  • syncs the ES4NS scripts
• imported Objects XML
  • syncs items imported as schema and WSDL
• Licenses and rc.conf
  • synchronization license files and rc.conf
• everything including licenses and rc.conf
  • syncs everything through in HA pair

These are the tools you want to use from day to day functioning. More to come in the next blog ...

One of the most common requests I get is how to prevent brute force login attacks Citrix Access Gateway or NetScaler AAA for traffic management Login pages. Like many other Web applications that have a form of public HTML face used for the connection, this is a risk assumed.

Part 1 This article discusses how you can use the NetScaler HTTP rate limiting function in combination with Module Responder to detect and respond to a potential attack brute force. Part 2 , we'll see how you can take advantage of the CAPTCHA NetScaler to increase this method to provide an extra layer of protection.

A little history on the problem to solve

it is quite simple now-a-days in the age of YouTube how-to videos and myriad other do-it -yourself tools black art (Brutus, THC Hydra, John the Ripper, Cain & Abel, etc ...) to learn how to build and orchestrate a brute force dictionary attack style that attempts to find a set of name user and password securities pairings skills that authenticates a malicious attacker successfully. For sites that use HTTP authentication methods, such as an HTML form that implies, at a very basic level, a specially designed HTTP Post that user / pass form field names with variables that change with every application in loop that iterates N! until the library dictionary of usernames and passwords has been exhausted. In statistics, this is simply called the theory of combination where you have a combination of n things taken k at a time, with or without repetition. This is a very simple calculation for a single computer to make and even easier when you deal with something distributed. Everything might need to do is to buy or build a decent list of URL, user and reference for passwords names. The implementation of protection against brute force attacks is important for any organization to present an application to the Internet and is also one of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) recommended test procedures.

How NetScaler Rate Limiting HTTP can help functionality?

For two AGED NetScaler and use HTTP authentication form, they are also vulnerable to this problem. The NetScaler Rate Limiting HTTP feature can be used in conjunction with the answering machine function as a valid deterrent to help address this vulnerability.

This is a graphical representation of the flow of a log with the configured Rate limiting method.
1
end user or malicious application / user is presented with a login form with credentials "POST" to.
q
2
Invalid credentials result in an error message displayed to the end user and a specific HTTP response
q
3
what we want to do after a certain number of login attempts are exceeded in a certain time, the user is presented with an alternative response that prevents other jobs and potentially also prevents lockout account if we the threshold below the account security policy

implementation of Citrix NetScaler

Follow these 6 steps to limit the number of requests to AGEE or AAATM login page. Steps for both GUI and CLI are provided.

1	Set a limit switch this tells us what to follow or "select". You want to select IP and URL because we want to follow moves to the same URL from the same IP address
GUI:
CLI add ns limitSelector aaa_err_login_selector CLIENT.IP.SRC HTTP.REQ.URL
2	Set the limit of an identifier the identifier indicates the model in the time slot that will trigger a stroke. We choose the selector we defined above, and a way of "REQUEST_RATE" we want to know how often the specific URL will be requested in the Time Slice. As applications can not occur at a specific interval in the time slot, a type of Bursty limit is preferred that a SMOOTH. We are not concerned about the reduction of bandwidth here because we want to block so that can be left to default of 0.
GUI:
CLI add ns limitIdentifier aaa_err_login_identifier Nveau 3 -timeSlice 300000 -selectorName aaa_err_login_selector -trapsInTimeSlice 3
3	Set an action post newspaper This step is optional, but provides a mechanism to inform you with a specific audit message that can be transmitted to a SIEM solution off-box. In the message, you can insert dynamic tokens for IP and URL that you are tracking to identify the application
GUI :.
CLI add audit messageaction aaa_login_err_alert ALERT "" login attempts Max detected from of "+ CLIENT.IP.SRC + " to "+ HTTP.REQ.URL + " within 5 seconds. Possible connection brute force attack "" -logtoNewnslog -bypassSafetyCheck YES YES
4	Define Responder action what is a malicious end-user or "bot" would see if they met the threshold in identifier limit. notes - Responder this action could be simpler, but it is designed to integrate with the theme NetScaler Symphony. If you use a different type of HTTP Auth, or you do not want to engage the attackers with any response at all, you can also set up an answering strategy simply DROP or reset the connection.
GUI:
CLI: add responder action aaa_err_login_blockip_5min_act RespondWith "" "+ " "+ " "+ " "+ " "+ " NetScaler Access Gateway TM "+ " You have reached the maximum allowed your device attempts to connect to: "+ CLIENT.IP.SRC + " . You will not be allowed to connect again for 5 minutes. Please contact your system administrator "+ ". "+ " ""
5	Define responder policy for AAATM or ELDERLY the voice mail policy references the frequency limit selector and is the AAATM or VPN URLs, and also detects the presence of invalid login session cookie and log triggers the answering machine and the actions defined above. notes - If you want to trap or AAATM AGED VPN you can delete the relevant condition in the defined term. This method also works for other Web applications specifying a different URL byt
GUI :.
CLI add responder aaa_err_login_blockip_5min_policy policy "(HTTP.REQ.URL.EQ ( "/ vpn / tmindex.html ") || HTTP.REQ .URL.EQ ( "/ vpn / index.html ")) && HTTP.REQ.COOKIE.VALUE ( "NSC_VPNERR "). EQ ( "4001 ") && SYS.CHECK_LIMIT ( "aaa_err_login_identifier ") "aaa_err_login_blockip_5min_act -logAction aaa_login_err_alert
6	generally bind the responder policy We must generally bind to address both VPN and AAATM but it would be equally easy to link answering a specific policy or VPN AAATM VServer.
GUI:
CLI: bind global answering aaa_err_login_blockip_5min_policy 110 END -type REQ_DEFAULT

What can we do?

1. Using 2-factor authentication such as RSA SecurID, PhoneFactor, CryptoCard, etc ...
   When a second factor auth is provided, which greatly improves posture overall security authentication. The most common is a One-Time-Password solution (OTP) which requires the user to use something they know and a form of challenge that can go from a random code from a chip to a phone call, email, or SMS message. NetScaler supports many of the 2-factor solutions as they are standard RADIUS-based. Many suppliers have also achieved Citrix Ready certification means that they have checked their solution works properly with Citrix NetScaler and Access Gateway.
2. Using an authentication method to 2 factors as the primary authentication
   The NetScaler and Access Gateway allows configuration of primary and secondary authentication methods In addition, this second factor method can be specified as the primary authentication method. The significance of this is that the second factor auth would first be tempted by the devil NetScaler AAA and will fail if the attempt if before the auth directory is attempted
3. Implement Captcha image verification -. (See Part 2)
   Captcha stands for automated public Turing test to tell Computers Completely and Humans Apart. This method involves presenting a challenge problem that humans can solve, but it would be very difficult for a computer. Captcha has been specially designed to prevent automated software to fill out a HTML form such as those used for logon. A common type of CAPTCHA requires the user to type letters or numbers from a distorted image that appears on the screen.

What HTTP Rate Limitation not to answer?

• account Directory Lockout
  HTTP Rate limiting is not fully help you with the problem account lockouts unless you set the thresholds for the selector to be lower than the account security policy. This phenomenon is common with brute force attacks because they often use the same name iterative user with different combinations of passwords. This problem can fight using a factor auth method 2nd or Captcha as described above.
• False Positive Forward Blocking proxies
  The users coming to the same direct proxy access could be blocked if multiple users attempt a connection in the time slot window. This is due to all customers who present themselves with the same IP address that the CBC limit identifier is followed.

In a recent interview with Michael Dell, the host of a notice of Business TV weekly show called, "In this era of the cloud, just go allergic PC away? ". His answer: "Not anytime soon" What he has also said that Dell is focusing on four main areas related to their business Consumer, SMB, public and large companies While big business contributes 29% to the first... online, Dell also knows how SMB is. You see, the $ 61.5 billion Dell did in 2011, $ 14.76 billion came from small and mid companies.

According to Dell, as a service is growing by leaps and bounds. They focused efforts in 2011 on health care and now claim to be the number one iT healthcare provider based services. a fairly big demand when there 's huge monoliths Cerner and McKesson in health care services hosted today. Any way you cut it, Dell is definitely focused on new cloud services as they build their business in 2012. given their success in healthcare health and having a good part of their business in SMB, it is conceivable that they could have a plan for cloud computing services for SMEs in '12.

Microsoft is yet to publish its 2011 SMB survey for hosted services. But in their 2010 study, 29% of SMEs surveyed said they use some sort of cloud service today, 36% said they intended to use three or more services and 2013 46% said they will adopt cloud as their IT service model. DaaS at Citrix believe will be a big part of this business. By the way I do not speak as office infrastructure (which may be the biggest trick of the decade). I speak of seamless applications provided via a cost-effective desktop with application provisioning, application integration and hosting these applications to create a desktop computer. The real desktop as a service model.

So if 24% of $ 61 billion of Dell's SMB business and 46% said they will adopt cloud services (inclusive of DaaS), the addressable market based on Dell earnings only more than six and a half billion dollars. If the cloud hosting providers focus on SMB?

In a word, YES.

Last week we discussed in Tech support tools (/ blogs / 2012/02/03 / NetScaler-diagnosis-tech- support-tools /) to help whenever you post any question around NetScaler. Continuing on similar lines let us understand the memory usage on NetScaler and how can you use the diagnostic page to resolve memory-related problems.

The memory is expensive in the context and is for NetScaler. It becomes even important when we start using more and more memory-related features you must buffer data NetScaler or to the detection of special attack, etc. It is also essential to the scalability of the connection layer on the system, each time we see high memory usage on NetScaler, we are worried. The truth is that each symptom using high memory is not a problem (some may be) and probably an indication of the running system on resources. In other words, you must update the platform for better resources

To understand the artifacts and we have the "Using the Memory" tool "Troubleshooting", page diagnostic. This tool can you many details on the overall footprint memory usage in NetScaler. Let us in every part of it and to understand it better:

It begins:

TotalMEM (70980052/13344178176) Allocated: 1,958,819,924 (14.68% ) ActualInUse: 1262898384 (9.46%) Free: 11385358252

this gives you a summary of the amount of memory the device has, which is allocated in use and memory available in the system. In the model nCore we divide the entire memory in the foreground, packet engines start with minimum memory required to operate and maintain the allocation of memory depending on the need. Then it enters each individual memory pool allocation and show:

MemPool MaxAllowd CurAlloc ErrLmtFailed ErrAllocFailed ErrFreeFailed

Bytes (Own%) ( % overall)

-------------------------------------- -

MEM_PE 146800640 3775030 (2.57% to 0.03%) 0 0 0

MEM_LB_SERVER 30,064,771,065 16,757,580 (0.06% to 0.13%) 0 0 0

MEM_LB_SESSION 954,204,0 3,670,464 (0.38% to 0.03%) 0 0 0

MEM_LB_SERVICE 30,064,771,065 in 1792 (0.00% 0.00%) 0 0 0

MEM_CSWMEM 176 0 768 200 ( 0.01% 0.00%) 0 0 0

MEM_IOH 36,700,0 0 (0.00% 0.00%) 0 0 0

MEM_LOGGING 30,064,771,065 16,777,215 (0.06% to 0.13%) 0 0 0

MEM_CONN 30,064,771,065 524,302,848 (1.74% 3.93%) 0 0 0

MEM_SNMP 30064771065 118336 (0.00% 0.00%) 0 0 0

MEM_DEBUG 1835008 9632 (0.52% 0.00%) 0 0 0

MEM_MISC 30,064,771,065 15,598,450 (0.05% to 0.12%) 0 0 0

......

This is interesting because it shows the memory allocation details by internal pool and there is a long list of pools. The important thing to note is that each pool has a hat on "MaxAllowd" So there are rare chances of a pool affect overall utilization of system memory. The "CurAlloc" also shows the percentage of memory used from the pool clean over the entire system. Debugging and troubleshooting perspective that you are most interested is "ErrLmtFailed, ErrAllocFailed and ErrFreeFailed". "ErrLmtFailed" tell you the number of times that you have exceeded the sharing limit. "ErrAllocFailed" indicates the number of times the memory allocation failed for this pool. "ErrFreeFailed" indicates the number of times a memory operation failed for this pool. These 3 points of information can tell you if there is some kind of memory of crisis or issue in the system. . If you use a configuration command that returns a memory failure, then you need to check these counters for specific pool

Then you see the big picture of the pool and details on AllocFailed shared memory and FreeFailed events:

SHARED MEMORY POOL

MaxAllowd CurAllocd ErrAllocFailed ErrFreeFailed

---------- ---- -------------------

381681664 108294128 0 0

key buffer structures that play essential role in the framework and session establishment.

CONN_POOL_MEMBERS:

Name CurAllocd CurFree PgAllocd PgAllocFailed

------------ - ---------------

NSB 194666 147036 141 (2.2%) 0

PCB 28 83384 83196 (0.4%) 0

NATPCB 57344 57344 7 (0.1%) 0

B64 229376 22015 7 (0.1%) 0

B128 114688 114681 7 (0.1%) 0

B256 32768 32768 4 (0.1%) 0

SPCB 0 0 0 (0.0%) 0

...

These are database structures that are important for the type of connections and different sessions. The "CurAllocd" may continue to rise according to the requirement to run until the max button. "CurFree" indicates the number of buffers sitting in the pool free to use as you get more connections. "CurAllocd" will be further increased when "CurFree" down significantly and you need more traffic in progress. "PgAllocd" indicates the number of allocated memory pages and the system allocates more pages than "CurFree" down significantly. "PgAllocFailed" indicates the number of memory page allocation failure and it directly impacts the current and new operations. For example, if you hit the allocation failures for NSB and there is no free structure while NetScaler will not be able to pick up new connections or packets. Similarly, if you see failure for the SPCB block, it will impact SSL transactions and failures will be noticed.

Beyond what you see several other specific pool detailed related information. All that is structured to provide a single point to run through system-level details on the use of the entire memory. The coolest part is that you get all this information without NetScaler CLI or GUI 😉 Shell rock ...

Citrix NetScaler Application Firewall is a comprehensive security solution ICSA-certified web application that blocks known and unknown attacks against web and web services applications. NetScaler supports a good range of AppFirewall security controls that can be customized as needed. But what do you do, when you want to have aggregated view of these violations with graphical analysis?

Command Center collects this AppFw system logs generated on NetScaler appliance, produce complete graphics and supply of integrated reports to provide a view of the image that violations are generated.

steps to get these reports on the Command Center Device is very simple. In this blog, we'll cover all the configurations that must be made on NetScaler for the generation of report on Command Center. In a word, simply configure Command Center as Syslog server on NetScaler and you're just one login below to see violations on the Command Center configuration

NOTE :. In this blog, we assume that you have configured on the device configuration AppFirewall NetScaler

Just to give you an overview, here's how the process of how to generate reports AppFw Command Center.

Step 1: Setting Command Center as Syslog server

Command Center AppFw reports based on data collected from syslog NetScaler. To have some sort of AppFw reports generated on Command Center, the first and foremost step is to ensure the availability of the NetScaler appliance control center. To do this, we need to configure Command Center as audit server appliance NetScaler. This will redirect the syslog product on the NetScaler Command Center device.

As we can see, Figure 1 shows the steps to configure Command Center as syslog server appliance NetScaler NetScaler via GUI. When creating audit server, ensure that the Audit Type is selected as SYSLOG

2nd step:. Audit Policy Configuration

In this step, you must create a policy said . Go to Application Firewall >> Policies >> Audit in the navigation pane on the left. Select Policies tab next to the Server . Click Add mentioned at the bottom of the window. Select Type Audit as SYSLOG and Server as Command Center syslog server configured in step 1 and click Create . This Verification Policy defines the type and protocol Server definition defines what the papers are sent when

Step 3 .: Binding overall, the audit policy

After setting the verification Policy , you will need to link the audit policy at the global level to ensure Registration for all events AppFw NetScaler system. To do this, select the defined strategy, click Global Bindings (shown at the bottom of the window) and click insertion policy to select the defined audit strategy defined step 2. Click OK

NOTE :. Save the configuration made so far on the NetScaler appliance with Save (mentioned at the top right of the window).

Step 4: Connect to Command Center

now, the last and most important step is to connect to the device Command Center, go to reports thento Scoreboard AppFirewall and see violations generated on NetScaler are also reflected on AppFirewall Dashboard Command Center :.)

with these simple steps you will be able to generate and synchronize violations generated on NetScaler and violations reflected in these graphs.

Note that the dashboard will begin to fill the data from the time that you configure all of step 1 to step 3 just starting. It will not report violations on Command Center before these installation configurations are performed.

What Citrix Receiver and Angry Birds have in common? This week, judges at Mobile World Congress decided the best applications for Work & Play. Perhaps it is no surprise ... Citrix Receiver got the best mobile application for businesses and Angry Birds won the best mobile application for consumers

As noted MWC: .
"Citrix Receiver provides incredible access to business offices and corporate applications from any device, including the latest Android, BlackBerry and iOS-based smartphones and tablets."

Citrix Receiver is now the industry standard application for securely deliver enterprise applications to mobile devices. This represents real progress since not long Citrix did not have much to offer in anything smaller than a laptop. Now with support for iPad, iPhone, Android, Amazon Fire, Blackberry, Chromebook and he can rely on a solution that will grow with an ever-expanding devices to the list of employees want to bring to work. Beyond access to virtual desktops and application receiver with Cloud Gateway allows access to the Web and SaaS applications and soon HTML5 and native mobile applications. This means Citrix provides a mobile solution that is future proof.

Receiver has been a top download business application of the Apple App Store since it was released. New leading smartphones like the Razr, Droid and ATRIX, receiver provide preloaded and the Motorola Xoom 2 and Lenovo ThinkPad tablet. It is now rare for a new mobile device will only be used as a gimmick for consumption, most provide a dual purpose for work and play. Manufacturers of top devices know Citrix is ​​the safe answer to most lending business devices.

Imagine you unbox a VDI hardware appliance, power on, add your Windows desktop image and deploy positions virtual work. Nothing in the architect, no servers to size, no software to install; no separate connection brokers, provisioning servers, Storage Area Networks, or SQL databases to deploy, coordinate or manage. Scaling simply means adding more devices. And you can do all this with transparent, linear, repeatable performance and price with each virtual desktop costing less than PCs. This is now a reality.

The new Dell DVS Simplified hardware appliance running VDI Citrix VDI-in-a-Box is an integrated hardware-software appliance. It couples the architecture of the VDI-in-a-Box network with the efficiency of Dell servers to provide a simple, cost-effective VDI offering predictable performance and scaling. The all-in-one VDI-in-a-Box eliminates the need for separate connection brokers, provisioning servers, SAN, SQL databases and load balancers. Each unit comes with VDI-in-a-Box software and factory hypervisor installed and validated and evaluated the number of workstations it can serve. You just break together like most devices that you need to answer the office capacity you need. High availability is also integrated, and simply requires a replacement device in case of failure.

This simple, efficient, cost effective VDI brings to the masses and allows many organizations that previously did not have the expertise or infrastructure to finally realize the benefits of desktop virtualization.

Why is it so much easier than traditional desktop virtualization solutions? Let's look at all the steps traditionally needed to deploy VDI :.

1. Deployment Scope and determine growth over time
2. architect your solution (consisting of connection brokers, load balancers, provisioning servers, management servers, SQL databases cluster, SAN, etc.).
3. Size infrastructure to allow growth (ie on-reserve).
4. Provides all hardware and software components (servers for running connection brokers, provisioning servers, shared storage, make sure there are suitable for high speed interconnections to shared storage, Windows Server OS, SQL clustering for high availability, the VDI software, etc.).
5. Install all components.
6. Configure and do all the different components work with each other.
7. Create Windows desktop gold images and generate virtual desktops.

Once you have rolled and you need to scale the solution you have to review the deployment and determine which components you need to add. Do you need multiple servers to handle the added office workload? Another connection broker? SAN bigger, faster? What analysis should you do to understand what components you should add to offer the same performance as before?

With Dell DVS Simplified powered by Citrix VDI-in-a-Box, here are your first steps for deployment: ..

1. Scope of deployment
2. Buy enough servers Dell DVS simplified (they are marked with many workstations, they can be used)
3. Configuring a device (using a wizard in 4 steps to provide your directory and domain assets details ).
4. Create Windows desktop gold images and generate virtual desktops.

The all-in-one VDI-in-a-Box architecture eliminates the expertise and resources needed to deploy desktop virtualization. Each unit is equipped with an integrated whole connection broker, the supply and storage software so you must ... you must not think. We do not need an analyst performance, network or SAN expert to architect the solution and ensure future growth. You save time, consulting fees (if you do not have in-house expertise) and infrastructure costs compared to traditional VDI deployment.

And you're not painting yourself into a corner with this device. When you are ready to expand the deployment, just add more devices. This "not think" Scaling is a repeatable solution with predictable performance if deployed standalone or in a grid of many devices. This makes it easier for the administrator and since all that is needed are more Dell DVS devices, it is also very profitable.

We are delighted to launch this solution with Dell and offer unprecedented simplicity that will reshape the desktop virtualization market. Try the new DVS device (www.dell.com/dvssimplified~~V), and tell us what you think!
