Citrix Workspace – Planning and Building — Question 100

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is using LDAP as single-factor authentication. The architect is migrating the environment to Citrix Cloud and wants to retain the same authentication procedure for XenApp and XenDesktop service in Citrix Cloud.
Which deployment strategy should the architect use for NetScaler and StoreFront to ensure that the solution reduces management overhead without incurring additional costs?

Answer options

• A. Use Citrix Cloud NetScaler Gateway service and on-premises StoreFront.
• B. Set up a new NetScaler VPX instance and StoreFront on-premises.
• C. Use Citrix Cloud NetScaler Gateway service and Citrix Cloud Workspace.
• D. Set up NetScaler with bring-your-own license (BYOL) and StoreFront in a public cloud.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using the Citrix Cloud NetScaler Gateway service with an on-premises StoreFront allows the architect to keep the existing authentication method while reducing management complexity. Options B and D involve setting up new infrastructure, which increases management overhead and potential costs. Option C does not retain the on-premises StoreFront, which is essential for maintaining the same authentication procedure.
