RE: [FW1] Adding a ip's to the firewall



When you have Citrix server behind a FW1 machine there are many things you have to have set-up in order to make it work properly. Here is a small list to get you started.
 
1. Both Citrix servers obviously have two internal ip addresses. The question is have you assigned them real ip addresses on the firewall and are they natted properly? To test this you can allow icmp in to that group of server to see if they respond. Once that is done you can close the rule down by accepting incoming connections only on TCP 1494 and UDP 1604. If you are using Citrix Metaframe Feature Release one you can do away with the UDP port as well and allow ICA browsing over HTTP. You have to set that up in the client though and its only available with the latest WIN32 ICA client 6.10.699 I believe.
 
2. If you don't do this next step it wouldn't work even if your firewall was set-up properly. When an ICA client makes a request for a hosted application or a Citrix server it makes a request to the ICA master browser. The internal Citrix box will always respond using its internal ip address and when that goes back out the client on the net they will not be able to route back. In order to fix this simply type this command in at each Citrix box
 
Box 1.
c:\altaddr /set 192.168.1.10 216.222.111.222
Box 2.
c:\altaddr /set 192.168.1.11 216.222.111.223
 
This will allow the master ICA browser to return the natted address to the client instead of the internal ip address.
 
3. On your client right click on Custom ICA connections and choose custom connection settings. You will see the default server location. Add the two real ipaddresses there and then choose the firewalls tab. From there choose Use alternate address for firewall connection. Save those settings and set-up your first custom connection.
 
Thos are the basics. Personally I would have customized the client install diskettes for your people so that they don't have to do any of those things. The best way to do this is install the client on a clean machine and once you have made all those modifications to the client including setting up the icons, there are 4 ini files to copy over the install diskettes. They are pn.ini, appsrv.ini, wfclient.ini and module.ini. The first three ini's have to be copied from your profile\application data\ica client directory, the module.ini is in c:\program files\citrix\ica client. When you copy these to disk one the extension has to be changed to .src instead of ini.
 
4. Your two internal citrix servers have to be added to your spoof group otherwise they will not function properly. IE, you will have 4 objects, 2 wrkstation objects representing the interal citrix servers and 2 objects representing the citrix servers with their real ip addresses.
 
If you need any more info try going to www.citrix.com and choose the support option. Sorry I'm not much of teacher.

Subject: [FW1] Adding a ip's to the firewall



Seasons greetings to all out there . We have just created two new Citrix
Servers. I have added them to the Citrix group on the firewall. and Verified
them and pushed them to the firewall . For some reason it works on the
Internal side . But the outside folks can not get into the two new Citrix
Servers . This is a NT Shop.

Thank you .
