10.In the Create XenApp/XenDesktop Farm or Configure XenApp/XenDesktop Farm dialog box, specify values for the following parameters, which correspond to parameters described in Parameters for configuring Web interface sites on page

153 as shown:

•Name* (You cannot change the name of an existing XenApp or XenDesktop farm.)

•XML Service Addresses*

•XML Service Port

•Transport

•Load Balance

* A required parameter.

11.Click Next, and then click Finish.

12.Verify that the Web interface site you configured is correct by selecting the site and viewing the Details section at the bottom of the pane. To view the Web interface site, in the navigation pane, expand System, expand Web Interface, and then click Sites.

To configure a Web interface site for LAN users using HTTPS by using the command line

1.Add a Web interface site. Set Direct or Alternate or Translated for the defaultAccessMethod parameter. At the NetScaler command prompt, type:

add wi site <sitePath> -siteType ( XenAppWeb XenAppServices ) - publishedResourceType ( Online Offline DualMode ) -kioskMode ( ON OFF)

Example

add wi site WINS1 -siteType XenAppWeb -publishedResourceType Online -kioskMode ON

2.Bind XenApp or XenDesktop farms to the Web interface site. At the NetScaler command prompt, type:

bind wi site <sitePath> <farmName> <xmlServerAddresses> -xmlPort <value> - transport ( HTTP HTTPS) -loadBalance ( ON OFF )

Example

bind wi site WINS1 XA1 10.102.46.6 -xmlPort 80 -transport HTTP -LoadBalance OFF

bind wi site WINS1 XD1 10.102.46.50 -xmlPort 80 -transport HTTP -LoadBalance OFF

3.Create a service that is a logical representation of the Web interface service running on the NetScaler appliance. At the NetScaler command prompt, type: add service <name> <IPAddress> <serviceType> <port>

Example

add service WI_Loopback_Service 127.0.0.1 HTTP 8080
