Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Associate — Question 37

Which Citrix component acts as Secure Ticket Authority (STA) in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Delivery Controller is responsible for managing all connections and acts as the Secure Ticket Authority (STA) by issuing tickets for users to access resources. The StoreFront server is used for user authentication and resource aggregation but does not issue tickets. The Citrix License Server handles licensing but is not involved in ticketing, and Citrix Gateway provides secure access but does not serve as the STA.
