ctxcertreq problem

[andyferris]

I have just installed Secure gateway 3.1 for the first time and I need to generate a certificate request. I have never done this before but reading information on the net, it seems I have to use ctxcertreq.exe to prduce a request, which I then pass on to one of the CA's such as Verisign or Comodo and they will sell me a server certificate.

The thing is I cannot find ctxcertreq.exe. It wasn't installed with the Gateway. Can anyone tell me where to find it, and if I am approaching this in the right way?

Thanks

Andy

First, the Secure Gateway needs a fully quailified domain name (e.g. csg.yourcompany.com). Just go to Verisign or Comodo and they provide instructions on generating the request. Very simple process, no special EXE is required.

OK, Thanks for the link. I have sorted out the certificate, it was easy with that information.

Now the install is asking me for a Secure Ticket Authority and once again, the Citrix knowledgebase is not alot of help.

How do I set up the STA? Is it something I can do with IIS?

The Gateway is already inside a DMZ with ports 80 & 443 opened through the firewall

Thanks

The STA is a pointer to one or more of your Citrix servers. The CSG has to be able to find your Citrix farm server(s), typically by fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Since the CSG is typically outside the firewall and the Citrix servers inside, I usually add an entry to the hosts file
(192.168.0.5 citrix1.mylocaldomain.local).

There is a good step by step here:
