We have been using SAML Authentication in our Citrix environment for quite some time now. I have a good document on setting that up here: https://www.citrixirc.com/the-complete-guide-azuread-saml-authentication/ We have been putting more and more security measures in place over the years, and a new requirement was to have any administrative access to these VDAs have MFA […]
I have developped a small app to replace the “Reset Profile” button in Director, that Service Desk agents love so much, to work with FSLogix. The application is a client/server model so the application doesn’t require admin rights to work. With ACLs on the executable only Service Desk and Admins can run it. The application […]
Part 1 here Synopsis In this example. We will be using Microsoft Network Policy Server (NPS) as the main Radius server. Using NPS we can setup 2 groups, which will allow us to setup read-only users (or whatever command group set you want) to login to ADC Admin portal without MFA, and forward any Admin […]
So many articles out there on setting up MFA for your vServers. I couldn’t find much on setting this up for the admin portion of ADC. Part 1 deals with a simple configuration using ADC Radius, pointed to Duo for admin authentication and MFA. In Part 2 I will deal with more complicated configurations using […]
This article will not be purely Citrix related, but I really wanted to share this. I have been tasked over the years to decommission old Active Directory controllers, here and there, and if the de-promotion is usually fairly easy, and other roles migration like DHCP are also pretty much straight forward, the DNS role can […]
When a UPM to FSLogix profile big-bang migration ends up in a total train wreck. Storyline: I have used a migration script, modified from the David Ott script, which you can find on this website, and it works very well. But the script will not detect damaged or bad UPM profiles, and that’s when the […]
Took me a while to get this blog post going. There is a lot of information out there. It took me looking over a bunch of other blogs to get this working. I figured I would write up everything I learned and found in this guide. Thanks to the following references. Aaron Parker, Carl Stalhood, Jason Samuel, and Anton […]
In my current project work, I have been tasked to configure our VDAs (Windows Server 2016) to claim all memory in VMware, and disable all dynamic memory mechanism on the ESXi hosts with 512 GB of memory each. I’m sharing my notes in this blog post for future reference.
Citrix doesn’t provide, out of the box, even with Director, an in-depth latency visualisation for a specific user, or even a group of users. But this is achievable, and in a pretty nice way, using Grafana and the native SQL connector, pointing to the Citrix Monitoring DB.
