Note: only a single Active Directory domain is supported per NetScaler Gateway Virtual Server. Enter an Active Directory Domain Name that will be used for Single Sign-on to Horizon Connection Server, and then click Create. The only purpose of the VServer Profile is to specify the Active Directory domain name so name it accordingly. To create a VServer profile, on the VServer Profiles tab, click Add. On the right, in the PCoIP Profiles and Connections pane, you will create a VServer profile and a PCoIP profile.
In the NetScaler management GUI, navigate to Citrix Gateway > Policies> PCoIP. Horizon Client – The Horizon Client must be installed on the client device, even if accessing Horizon published icons using the NetScaler RfWebUI portal. RfWebUI Portal Theme – For web browser access to Horizon, the Citrix Gateway Virtual Server must be configured with the RfWebUI theme. Unified Gateway (optional) – If Unified Gateway, create the Unified Gateway before adding PCoIP functionality. Authentication – An LDAP authentication policy/server. Certificate – A valid certificate for the Citrix Gateway Virtual Server. TCP 4172, and UDP 4172 open from the NetScaler SNIP to all internal Horizon Agents. TCP 4172, UDP 4172, and TCP 443 open from Horizon Clients to the Citrix Gateway VIP. Configure Desktop Pools and RDS Farms to use PCoIP as the default protocol. Ensure that the Horizon HTTP(S) Secure Tunnel and PCoIP Secure Gateway are not enabled on the Horizon Connection Servers that NetScaler will proxy connections to. Ensure you can connect to Horizon Agents internally without Citrix Gateway. Horizon infrastructure – A functioning internal Horizon infrastructure. On the Citrix Gateway Virtual Server, ensure ICA Only is unchecked. Universal Licenses – PCoIP Proxy uses the Clientless Access feature of Citrix Gateway, which means every Citrix Gateway connection must be licensed for Citrix Gateway Universal. NetScaler Edition – PCoIP Proxy is available in all NetScaler Editions. NetScaler Version – NetScaler 12.0 or newer. When PCoIP is proxied through Citrix Gateway, Citrix Gateway can replace the traditional PCoIP remote access solutions, like Horizon Security Server, or VMware Unified Access Gateway. VMware Blast is currently not supported. PCoIP is analogous to Citrix HDX/ICA protocol, and Microsoft RDP protocol. NetScaler Gateway 12.0 and Citrix Gateway 12.1 and newer support the PC-over-IP (PCoIP) protocol, which is the remote display protocol for several non-Citrix VDI solutions, including VMware Horizon.
