Nelson Esteves NPG Escalation TECH304: Integrating and Troubleshooting Citrix Access Gateway Enterprise Edition
Agenda Integrating Repeater with Access Gateway Enterprise Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Security Expressions and Smart Access Including Advanced Troubleshooting
Integrating Repeater with Access Gateway Enterprise Integrating Repeater with Access Gateway Enterprise Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Security Expressions and Smart Access Including Advanced Troubleshooting
Branch Repeater Integration Traffic between the client and the secure network is optimized before passing through the VPN tunnel
Deployment Architecture Data Center and Corporate Offices Remote and Mobile Workspaces • Access Gateway • Secure access to: • Applications • Desktops • Networks • Branch Repeater • Compression • Acceleration Access Gateway Plugin Branch Repeater Plugin File Shares and Web Applications
Branch Repeater Integration Repeater integration is enabled/disabled through a Traffic Profile
Branch Repeater Integration Design considerations Redirector mode: A traffic policy expression must be created for the signaling IP address of the Repeater appliance Transparent mode: A traffic policy must be created which covers all backend servers the client is accessing Only one Repeater traffic policy will be evaluated when bound at the virtual server level or globally Enabling Repeater in a traffic policy will disallow Single Sign-On, File Type Association and HTTP authorization features
Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Integrating Repeater with Access Gateway Enterprise Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Security Expressions and Smart Access Including Advanced Troubleshooting
Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Access Gateway Enterprise Edition 9.0 can rewrite content from a SharePoint site so that it is available to users without requiring the Access Gateway Plug-in. This avoids administrators having to deploy VPN access to users that require access to SharePoint. For the rewrite process to complete successfully, the Access Gateway must be configured with the Web address for each SharePoint server in your network. In most environments where SharePoint is accessed externally administrators have to configure what is called Alternate Address Mapping
Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Alternate Address Mapping in SharePoint 2007 TOO COMPLEX!!!
Integration with Microsoft SharePoint New with Access Gateway Enterprise is the full support of Microsoft SharePoint via clientless access. This basically means that no longer administrators will have to configure internet, intranet, etc.. addresses for a SharePoint site. With Access Gateway Enterprise Edition you now have full access to SharePoint and its features without having to deploy VPN access. How to implement it? All it takes is one single configuration entry and the powerful rewrite engine will make the necessary changes to the SharePoint pages.
Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Powerful rewrite engine at work Sample source page from original SharePoint page: Same page via Access Gateway Enterprise on clientless access:
Clientless Access to SharePoint Supported sharepoint features
Security Expressions and Smart Access Integrating Repeater with Access Gateway Enterprise Integration with Microsoft SharePoint Security Expressions and Smart Access Including Advanced Troubleshooting
Policy Expressions Operator Qualifier Action Name • Expressions: • Can be single or Compound • Consist of a Name, Qualifier and Operator • Evaluated by AGEE to determine if a policy is applied Expression allow_ftp DESTIP == 10.9.13.60 Allow DESTPORT== Port 21
Match All Expressions Match All Expression will use the AND operator to form the expression Resulting Expression: av_5_TrendMicro_11_25 && av_5_TrendMicroOfficeScan_7_3
Tabular Expressions Tabular Expressions let you create custom compound expressions with the aid of graphical operators and a preview display
Advanced Free-Form Expressions can be created and edited manually Expression must however be a valid rule Useful for creating complex expressions, using custom qualifiers, using additional operators, and previewing an expression built using the other methods

Web Interface Authenticates credentials provided via custom SSO AGCitrixBasic Header User accesses AGEE VPN Virtual Server Web Interface generates “Smart Access” application set page and sends the web page back to user. Access Gateway passes credentials to Directory Service for validation. User supplies credentials to logon page. Post-AuthN AGEE Session policy EPA checks done with the existing EPA ActiveX Session policy EPA check results returned to AGEE Web Interface sends credentials & EPA results to Citrix XML Service which validates them and returns user’s “smart access” application set to Web Interface.

Deeper Look at Security Scans – Pre-Auth • Redirect to /epa/epa.html • EPA client sends a GET for /epaq which causes the • Access Gateway to return a 200 OK response with a HTTP header called CSE • If the security scan passes, the very next GET from the client will contain a value of 0 for the CSEC header. If the scan fails, the value will be 3. Example:
Deeper Look Into Smart Access • Client logs in to Access Gateway and is redirected to Web Interface • During this redirection the client sends a request to /auth/agesso.aspx • Web interface denies access and requests credentials. Access Gateway then sends another request to /auth/agesso.aspx but this time with an authentication header • Web Interface then validates the credentials via a POST back to Access Gateway • If that connection succeeds, the Access Gateway then returns a 200 OK containing all the Smart Access information needed by Web Interface. Example: How Did I Do That ????
Decrypting a Network Trace • In order to be able to analyze the data on the previous slide I had to run a network trace on the Access Gateway appliance. This can easily be done via GUI: • Or via the command line: • Once the network trace has run it will be placed under /var/nstrace/ • *** important: since this is SSL traffic the trace has to start before any request is made *** • Once the trace is downloaded to a workstation that has Wireshark installed, open Wireshark click on Edit and then Preferences. Select SSL under Protocols: • Under RSA Key List you enter: <target IP>,<port>,<protocol>,<path to private key> • Once that is done the traffic will be decrypted and you will be able to analyze it.

What if private key is secured? If the private key was created with a passphrase, it can be decrypted via openssl:
Published Application Launch Process External DMZ Internal XenApp 1494/2598 443 80/443 Remote End User WI 80/443 Web Interface contacts Citrix XML Service to determine least loaded XenApp server hosting application. XML Service returns XenApp IP address. Web Interface generates ICA file that includes Access Gateway FQDN and STA ticket. ICA file is sent back to client device. User clicks application icon. Request is sent to Web Interface. ICA Client sends ICA request to Access Gateway. Access Gateway contacts STA to validate ticket and exchange the ticket for the XenApp IP address. Web Interface contacts STA to exchange XenApp IP address for ticket. Access Gateway contacts XenApp to initiate ICA session. ICA session is established. STA and XML

Session Takeaways • Only One Traffic Policy Evaluated at a time • Integration with SharePoint requires all hostnames used internally • SmartAccess requires the name of the virtual server and policy for XenApp policy to be applied • When decrypting a network trace start the trace before sending the first request • Private keys can be decrypted is password is known • HTTP Access Gateway Virtual Server can used for debugging
