Install Citrix Bridge Server

Citrix Bridge Server is responsible for communicating with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops through a Citrix exclusive HDX protocol.

The Bridge Server must have installed the senhasegura Citrix Proxy container.

senhasegura offers two ways to install and configure Citrix Bridge Server. They are:

Using the Docker container​

Requirements
  • Linux with Docker
  • Module Fuse to transfer files
  • RDP (3389) port opened
  • Network connection with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops server
  • Network connection with the server where the applications are running
  1. Download Citrix VAD Proxy
  2. Unpack the tar.gz file containing the Docker image
tar -zxvf citrix-docker-image_0.9.5-8.tar.gz
  1. Import the container image
sudo docker load -i xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8.tar.gz
  1. Start the container
sudo docker run -d \
    --net host \
    --name xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8 \
    --device /dev/fuse \
    --cap-add SYS_ADMIN xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image:0.9.5-8
  1. Validate
sudo docker ps

Expected result

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                   COMMAND       CREATED         STATUS         PORTS     NAMES

Using senhasegura Extended Services OVA​

Requirements
  • Hypervisor with OVA support
  • 4 GB of RAM
  • 4 vCPU
  • 100 GB of hard disc
  • Network connection with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops server
  • Network connection with the server where the applications are running

  1. Download senhasegura Extended Services OVA

    Ensure the checksums of the OVA file you received matches the following hashes
    • md5sum : 5E8E264B58E5A80BE816920A3BBF54F5
    • sha256sum: 808CB8BAAE65CEB2BF7A7BD277E2601D00A5424CA9AD2AD73C2E5B08625F4FE

  2. Import the OVA to your hypervisor

  3. Boot up the virtual machine and login. Access the PAM Solution to get the credential to login.

  4. Once logged, setup the network using the following command:

nmtui
  1. Finally, check if the container is up and running by issuing the following command:
sudo docker ps

Expected result
