Configuring a Web Interface Site for LAN Users Using HTTPS

In this scenario, user accounts and the Web interface setup are on the same enterprise LAN. Users access the Web interface by using an SSL-based (HTTPS) vserver. The Web interface exposes its own login page for authentication. SSL offloading is done by this vserver on the NetScaler. The vserver IP address is used to access the Web interface instead of the NetScaler IP address (NSIP).

The following figure illustrates the Web interface running on the NetScaler appliance NS1. A Web interface site WINS1 is created and a XenApp farm XA1 and a XenDesktop farm XD1 are bound to it. An HTTPS vserver HTTPS_WI is also created. Client C1 uses the IP address of the HTTPS_WI vserver to access the WINS1 site.

To configure a Web interface site for LAN users using HTTPS by using the configuration utility

1.In the navigation pane, click Web Interface.

2.In the details pane, click Web Interface Wizard.

3.On the wizard Introduction page, click Next.

4.On the wizard Configure Web Interface Site page, specify the values for the following parameters, which correspond to parameters described in Parameters for configuring Web interface sites on page 153 as shown:
