Deploying Citrix MetaFrame with the FirePass
Controller
Welcome to the F5 FirePass controller Deployment Guide for Citrix®
Presentation Server™ (formerly called MetaFrame®). This guide contains
step-by-step procedures on configuring the various methods of connecting
to Citrix Presentation Server through the FirePass controller.
While Citrix MetaFrame provides a run-time environment for applications
to be hosted on an internal server and accessed over a
keyboard-windows-mouse emulation environment (thin-client), the FirePass
controller extends secure access to employees or partners so they can access
resources from any device in any location as easily and securely as from
within the corporate LAN.
The FirePass provides secure Web-based access to Citrix MetaFrame
devices and supports automatic downloading and installation of the correct
Terminal Services remote-platform client component, if it is not currently
installed on the remote device. Once authenticated by the FirePass
controller, users pass through the corporate firewall and are able to access
MetaFrame resources without having to re-authenticate for multiple
resources. The FirePass controller also supports group access options, user
authentication and automatic logon capabilities for authorized users of
Citrix MetaFrame.
For an overview of Citrix, see Appendix A: Overview of Citrix, on page
