|
The NetScaler Application Switch with Access Gateway Enterprise Edition & Application Firewall Version 8.0 is a dedicated application performance accelerator incorporating a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Virtual Private Network (VPN) with policy-based access control and an application-level firewall. The NetScaler appliance incorporates three software components which work together to provide secure access to web-based applications, such as the Citrix Desktop Server or Presentation Server, from an external network. The three software components are the Application Switch, the Access Gateway and the Application Firewall. These run on top of the Application Delivery Networking Platform on the NetScaler NS7000 or NS9010-FIPS Appliance Hardware. These elements are described in the sections below. TOE Administrators can access the TOE through a direct serial connection or from any workstation on the same network. The direct serial connection gives the administrator access to the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI can also be accessed from a remote workstation through Secure Shell. The NetScaler Configuration Utility is accessed via webbrowser.
