CWS-215 CITRIX VIRTUAL APPS AND DESKTOPS MOD 1
TO 4 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
two methods for authentication with StoreFront - ANS -•Direct:
StoreFront validates credentials against Active Directory and then
forwards to Controllers which confirm authentication. Direct
authentication is the default behavior of StoreFront.
•XML service-based authentication: StoreFront passes credentials to
Delivery Controller, which validates credentials against Active Directory.
Connection Flow Process (Internal users with StoreFront only) - ANS -1.
Credentials are submitted to StoreFront.
2. StoreFront authenticates against Domain Controller first.
3. StoreFront passes the credentials to the Delivery Controller via the
XML communication.
4. The Delivery Controller validates the credentials received from
StoreFront with Active Directory.
if the StoreFront server is not in the same domain as Citrix Virtual Apps
and Desktops - ANS -then the only method you can configure is to
require the Delivery Controller to authenticate to Active Directory on
behalf of StoreFront.
,• In order to support this, you have to delegate authentication to the
XML server.
StoreFront Communication Flow Processes Enumeration - ANS -Occurs
once the request from StoreFront is sent to the Delivery Controller; the
Controller is responsible for retrieving the list of resources assigned to
the user
The Broker Service determines - ANS -which desktops and applications
the user is allowed to access.
Enumeration Process - ANS -1. The Delivery Controller queries the site
database to enumerate the resources (apps and desktops) assigned to
the user.
2. The list of available apps and desktops are forwarded to StoreFront
using the XML communication.
3. StoreFront formats and provides the list of apps and desktops to the
user to display in browser or in Citrix Workspace app.
Session Launch: Connection Request - ANS -The first part of Session
Launch is the connection request, where the VDA is selected.
Common Gateway Protocol (CGP) - ANS -The connection between Citrix
Workspace app and the VDA uses
,Session Reliability - ANS -If a connection is lost, the feature enables the
user to reconnect to the VDA rather than having to re-launch trough the
management infrastructure. It can be enable or disable in Studio.
Monitoring database - ANS -It logs the data from the site database that
received the information from the controller once the user is log on.
IMA arquitecture - ANS -Each worker was responsible for obtaining the
license file.
FMA arquitecture - ANS -It is centralized, the Delivery controller checks
our the licenses
ICA File - ANS -IT is created by the StoreFront with the connection
information and then presents the file to the users endpoint device.
Which Citrix Connection Flow Process describes the Broker Service
determining which resources the user is allowed to access? - ANS -
Emuneration
Active Directory (AD) - ANS -is required for Citrix Virtual Apps and
Desktops.
, Kerberos infrastructure - ANS -ensures authentication of Delivery
Controller communication and time synchronization between servers
Time synchronization - ANS -is particularly important for VDA
registration
RDS licensing - ANS -is required for multi-session OS-based published
apps and desktops, so admins will need to verify that the number of
RDS licenses is sufficient for the multi-session OS workloads delivered
Citrix OUs - ANS -Separate ___ to block inheritance for the Citrix OU
and thereby prevent other policies from affecting the Citrix
environment.
infrastructure servers - ANS -Separate ___ from resources delivered
(VDAs) to prevent VDA policies from affecting infrastructure servers
Separate VDAs - ANS -separate ____ according to OS, application set,
delivery type, etc. where necessary in order to apply more granular
group policies to specific machines based on their role in the
environment
