Preface
"My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water."
—Mark Twain
The aim of this book is to comb through the many features of Citrix Application Delivery Controller, which is NetScaler, and give you insight into how to handle and tune them according to your requirements.
I have tried to whip up as many recipes as possible so that they would be easier for readers to choose from. In addition, there are certain important terms explained, which we usually come across while deploying Citrix NetScalers and Access Gateways, but don't think much about. By the end of this book, we hope to give readers a good practical knowledge of the working of an end-to-end Citrix solution. Though it is recommended you read it from start to finish, it is made flexible so that you can move between recipes and skip to recipes that intrigue you.
This book will also try to simplify any complexities involved and make the read an interesting one.
I would like to sign off with a quote from Bruce Lee (I'm a big fan!).

What this book covers
Day one – deployment in a DMZ network (Must know) discusses the basic set up of NetScaler in DMZ and the server farm in internal zone, while keeping in mind what changes should be done to ensure connectivity between NetScaler and the backend servers.
Triple A (Must know) shows how to configure the AAA vserver and use it with CS/LB vserver. This recipe also shows the readers how to configure SSO functionality and gives the readers a detailed packet flow as well as a capture that shows a successful authentication using LDAP, which can be used to troubleshoot in readers' environments.
Controlling surge/burst (Must know) shows how to enable settings that turn on surge protection, along with the base threshold and throttling options. This recipe also explains how the protection works along with NetScaler's inherent connection multiplexing.
Content switching (Must know) discusses a simple but most commonly used procedure to redirect the HTTP traffic to secure HTTPS by using the responder policy bound to the CS level along with the configuration commands.
Zombie cleanup (Must know) discusses how to clean up idle connections that would take up space and memory at intervals that can be customized. This recipe also shows the levels at which the timeout can be set.
Disaster recovery (Should know) introduces a series of steps for setting up disaster recovery and later shows the ways to troubleshoot it as well. This recipe includes a discussion of dynamic proximity, which shows how the RTT calculation is done. This recipe also discusses the steps that are used to calculate as well as configure dynamic proximity.
DOS and attack prevention (Should know) covers default settings that provide protection along with the options that can be turned on to provide extra security. This recipe throws light on how to set up priority queuing for different types of traffic among other things. Rate limiting configuration is also included in the recipe.
Learning Application Firewall (Must know) guides the readers through the steps and shows snapshots of the defense mechanism with the help of logs and packet captures. It also speaks about role-based access control where you can restrict the management access of a user to the desired level. This recipe also includes tips to troubleshoot the App Firewall issue.
