Thanks,

- You don't need to make any special changes on your back-end servers but you need to ensure that you correctly assigned the required iRule to your VIP. What BIG-IP version are you using?
- Chuck,
- We're trying to allow internet users to connect into our internal XenApp farm and we do not have the APM and no plans to purchase.
- Steve,
- My hesitation for going forward with the APM? The cost of the APM wasn't budgeted for.. From the what I looked at on my distributor's site, it's licensed per CCU and was far from cheap..

- Steve,
If looking at this from a cost perspective, attempting to go with the Citrix Netscaler/AGEE solution is just as expensive if not more so when you figure all of the licensing and administrative overhead. Your netscaler device will have to be licensed at the platinum level for all of the features to be available and even then, you have to maintain separate pnagent and WI sites that would use STA servers. BTW, the STA servers are not HA, if one goes down, all the users that had their sessions authenticated by that STA will be dropped and have to re-enter the system. Using the ICA Proxy provided within F5 APM, you do not need additional pnagent sites nor WI sites, and the the session data for connections is HA, so should one APM die off, your users will not experience a horrible time trying to get back in. Should you really need to do end point inspection, then we have that built into our product with check boxes rather than having to build distinct regular expressions per platform and setting.
Hopefully this helps. Otherwise your clients will have to establish a vpn connection and then launch the applications.

- Chuck - were you able to resolve your issue with the client trying to establish the connection on port 2598?
