SIMULATION
Scenario:
A Citrix Engineer at CCH needs to create a StoreFront store. The new store must support authentication and
must be accessible through NetScaler Gateway. Users should be allowed to access resources from the store
by logging in with their usernames and passwords or through pass-through authentication from NetScaler
Gateway. All Active Directory users should be able to access the store from remote locations outside of the
corporate network. The secure access plug-in will NOT be used in this environment. VPN tunnel should be
disabled.
Tasks:
1. Create a new store named External Store.
2. Enter CCH for the display name of the new store.
3. Add controller-1, controller-2, controller-3 and controller-4 to the new store.
4. Communication with the controllers should take place over port 8080 using HTTP as the transport type.
5. Configure remote access to the StoreFront store through NetScaler.
6. Implement authentication as described in the scenario.

Answer: See the explanation

Explanation:
Citrix StoreFront Configuration:

1. When the wizard starts enter a store name.

2. Now we need to add the delivery controllers (Controller1) that StoreFront will interface with:

3. Once the store is created it will give you the web browser URL that you can use to access it. Also take note
that to access StoreFront from a web browser you must append “Web” to the store URL, as the URL shows
below. Don’t try going to /Citrix/Store as that won’t work.

4. To change the StoreFront base URL you can go to the Server Group node and in the right pane select
Change Base URL. Change URL to use HTTPS and port 8080

5. Back in the StoreFront console, after refreshing, you can see that the service is using HTTP.

6. One quick tweak to make authentication easier is to set a default domain. This way the user doesn’t have to
enter a domain when authenticating to the StoreFront web site. Locate the Authentication node, then in the right
pane click on Configure Trusted Domains.And that’s pretty much it to get an operational StoreFront. If you open your browser and go to the full web store
URL you should get a green bubbly Citrix receiver page.
