Scenario: A Citrix Engineer manages a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops on-premises environment, which includes the following Citrix infrastructure servers running in the datacenter:
✑ Two Citrix Gateway servers
✑ Two StoreFront servers
✑ Two Delivery Controllers
✑ One Citrix Director server
✑ One Citrix License Server
✑ Two SQL servers
The engineer needs to move the Control Layer to Citrix Cloud as part of the business goals for this year.
Which statement is true regarding Citrix Gateway for this environment?

Answer options

• A. The Citrix Cloud Connector acts as a Secure Ticket Authority (STA) server on the Citrix Gateway
• B. Citrix Gateway must be moved to Citrix Cloud
• C. Citrix StoreFront must be moved to Citrix Cloud
• D. The Delivery Controllers act as Secure Ticket Authority (STA) servers on the Citrix Gateway

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Citrix Cloud Connector provides the functionality of a Secure Ticket Authority (STA) server when integrated with Citrix Gateway. Options B and C are incorrect as there is no requirement to move Citrix Gateway or StoreFront to Citrix Cloud for this scenario. Option D is also incorrect; while Delivery Controllers manage sessions, they are not STA servers for the Citrix Gateway.
