Inserting F5 LTM in a Citrix environment

Hi Dr. Jaouad,

Functions replaceable: NetScalers functions (Majority of), Web Interface, StoreFront.

Controller/Broker remains required, as do the workers.

There's various implementations you can do with Citrix and F5 APM.

• You can replace StoreFront (SF)/Web Interface (WI) with a Webtop that brokers the applications and proxies the ICA connections.
• You can process authentication on APM as a gateway, presenting the SF/WI after.
• You can even present the SF/WI as an icon from the Webtop.

I believe there may be other combinations (I'm not natively a citrix person, just know from what I've learn with implementations).

Here's the deployment guide that is well worth a read, it certainly covers off the first two points.

Also, the third party product implementation guides (for latest 11.6.0, but I find they can be referred): https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm-third-party-integration-implementations-11-6-0.html

Hope they help.
