Question 1

Scenario: There are two domains in an organization: Domain A and Domain B. A Citrix Engineer
configured SAML authentication for Domain A, without implementing Citrix Federated
Authentication Service (FAS).
While launching the Citrix apps, the Single Sign-on will .

  • A. work for users from Domain A and NOT for users from Domain B
  • B. work for users from Domain B and NOT for users from Domain A
  • C. work for the users from Domain A and Domain B
  • D. NOT work for the users from Domain A and Domain B
Mark Question:
Answer:

B


Explanation:
"With SAML, Citrix Gateway and StoreFront do not have access to the user’s password and thus
cannot perform single sign-on to the VDA. FAS works around this limitation by using issuing
certificates that can be used to logon to the VDA." - Reference:

Question 2

Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is managing a large environment with multiple locations. The setup is as
follows:
- The setup has a single Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops site with multiple zones such as a Primary
zone and 3 Satellite zones.
-Virtual Delivery Agents (VDAs) are available for all applications in all 3 Satellite zones.
-An application 'app1' has its application database located in Satellite zone.
-As a sovereign mandate, it is desirable that this application database should NOT be accessible from
zones 2 and 3.
-The application does NOT create any database cache and cannot work if the database is NOT
reachable. - The outage is acceptable for complying with the sovereign mandate.
Which zone preference should the engineer configure to achieve this setup?

  • A. Mandatory application home to Satellite zone 1
  • B. User home to Satellite zone 1
  • C. Mandatory user home to Satellite zone 1
  • D. Application home to Satellite zone 1

become unmanaged and first- time users CANNOT connect to their Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops
resources.
The setup was recently upgraded from Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7.11 to Citrix Virtual Apps
and Desktops 7.15 CU4.

following error is displayed:
"The underlying connection was closed. Could not establish a trust relationship for the SSL/TLS
secure channel. "

CA certificate for. Alternatively, the certificate might have expired or been revoked."
