Notes from the field: VMware UAG reverse proxy why doesn’t it work!
When configuring VMware UAG as an reverse proxy I’ve encountered some issues last year that as far as I could see wasn’t all to well documented. My reference article for the configuration was the following: https://techzone.vmware.com/configuring-web-reverse-proxy-identity-bridging-vmware-unified-access-gateway-vmware-workspace-one-operational-tutorial#985671 Basically when you follow it to the letter in your test deployment and with a test site you will…
Notes from the field: Citrix XenMobile / Endpoint Management Per App VPN not working for iOS
This was quite a nice one to troubleshoot, turns out there is a new configuration point for per app VPN and iOS devices, at least it was for me.

Notes from the lab: Citrix ADC IP Reputation
I’ve been playing around with the Citrix ADC IP Reputation feature – https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/13/reputation/ip-reputation.html in the lab for some time and to be honest it’s such a small but very effective feature which I almost never see active, why is that? If you’ve gotten a premium licensed ADC appliance it’s a simple right click>enable and you…
Notes from the lab: Citrix ADC Native Push OTP not working

Notes from the field: Citrix ADC Gateway Native OTP with GSLB
Fun quick fact that I’ve encountered when deploying a ADC Gateway GSLB setup for a customer! You only have to enroll once with the nFactor/Native OTP on one of the ADC’s. (when having a Active Directory Domain across multiple datacenter sites) The setup of choice: Two ADC appliances in HA set on each site GSLB…
