Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Administration — Question 51

Which Citrix component acts as Secure Ticket Authority (STA) in a XenDesktop environment?

Answer options

• A. Citrix Gateway
• B. License Server
• C. StoreFront Server
• D. Delivery Controller

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Delivery Controller is responsible for managing the connections and delivering resources to users, which includes acting as the Secure Ticket Authority (STA) in a XenDesktop environment. The Citrix Gateway is primarily for secure access, the License Server manages licenses, and the StoreFront Server provides a user interface for accessing applications, but none of these fulfill the STA role.
