CCA Citrix ADC & Gateway Configuration

Question 1

What is the primary role of Citrix ADC (formerly NetScaler) in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops deployment?

Accepted Answer

Application delivery controller providing load balancing, SSL offloading, and traffic management

Answer

Citrix ADC acts as an application delivery controller, optimizing and securing application traffic through load balancing, SSL offloading, and traffic management.

Question 2

Which Citrix ADC feature decrypts SSL/TLS traffic at the ADC and forwards unencrypted traffic to backend servers, reducing their processing load?

Accepted Answer

SSL Offloading

Answer

SSL Offloading (SSL termination) decrypts HTTPS traffic at the ADC so backend servers do not need to perform the CPU-intensive decryption themselves.

Question 3

Which protocol and method does Citrix Gateway primarily use to provide secure remote access to internal Citrix resources?

Accepted Answer

SSL/TLS with ICA proxy

Answer

Citrix Gateway uses SSL/TLS with ICA proxy to securely tunnel ICA traffic from remote users to internal Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sessions.

Question 4

In a Citrix ADC High Availability (HA) pair, what happens automatically when the primary node becomes unavailable?

Accepted Answer

The secondary node takes over as primary and begins processing traffic

Answer

In an ADC HA pair, the secondary node automatically detects the primary failure and promotes itself to primary, continuing to process traffic with minimal interruption.

Question 5

Which Citrix ADC object type represents a single backend application server and its associated port?

Accepted Answer

Service

Answer

A Service in Citrix ADC represents a backend server (defined by IP address and port) that the ADC forwards client traffic to.
