From the Storefront or Delivery Controller server.
Request new certificate (either from internal or public Certification Authority) via MMC snapin Certificates -> Computer Store. Open IIS Manager. Expand server name and sites. Right click the site where Citrix for web is published (probably Default Site if you are not sure). Click “Edit Bindings…” Highlight https binding, and click “Edit”. Replace current certificate with the newly requested certificate (compare thumbprints if the names are identical).
I was given a task to pull certificate information from our Citrix sites and servers. There are some free and paid tools to capture the information but for some reason, I wanted to write a script for it. This script pulls certificate information from websites, internal or external websites, and saves the data to a CSV file. The output file will have URL name, certificate start date, end date, issued by and today’s date.

Issue: Storefront servers are load-balanced with a NetScaler VIP. When users click the logout button, they should be redirected to the home page of the Netscaler VIP again.
Solution:
You have to modify the strings.en.js file in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Citrix\NameOfyourStore-Web\custom folder.
Backup strings.en.js file. Remove everything and add below content to the strings.en.js file.

If you want to install a test certificate on Netscaler to use it with Netscaler gateway or storefront, use the below commands. You will still get certificate error warnings but your Netscaler gateway or storefront load-balanced URL will work. In the below commands, change company.lab to your domain name (like homelab.local). If you need a wildcard certificate, use the below commands as is. If you need a SAN certificate, replace * with the storefront VIP hostname or Netscaler gateway hostname, like nsgwy.
If you want to test Netscaler gateway authentication or if you’re testing a Netscaler gateway theme, but don’t want to spin up servers for storefront and DDCs, you can enable the client choices option in Netscaler so that users are presented with some default client choices when they login to Netscaler gateway portal.
Client choices are the logon choices received by a user who logs on to a NetScaler Gateway. These choices can be determined by creating a session policy and profile.
When a new employee joins a company, as part of the onboarding process, the service desk team receives a ticket for VDI assignment for that employee. They route it to the Citrix team for VDI assignment. It is a very small task for the Citrix team which is, pick up userid from the ticket, grab a fee VDI, and assign it.
Similarly, when an employee leaves an organization, their VDI should be unassigned and deleted.
I have pi-hole setup. Recently, I have updated iphone OS to 14.0.1. From the moment iphone is updated to OS version 14, internet stopped working on iphone. Toggled private address option under wifi, but no use. I have changed dns to public dns and everything worked as normal.
Solution:
I had to edit /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf file. In my case, IPV6_ADDRESS column is empty. Edit the file and add fd00::/8 to it as shown below and save it.
You need to choose a user attribute to store user’s alternate email in user properties while configuring netscaler SSPR.
Issue:
You’ve chosen a user attribute which is not in use, and configured netscaler SSPR. User, when logging in for the first time to netscaler gateway url, got questions to fill and enter alternate email id page after entering credentials. Immediately, they get an error “System error” and will be returned back to username and password page.
Export and Import Citrix ADC (Netscaler) portal theme:
If you have a lot of Netscaler devices to manage, creating themes on all those Netscalers will be difficult. You can use the below process to create a theme on one Netscaler and copy it to other Netscalers. If you have too many Netscalers, connecting to Netscalers via putty may be an easy way.
Steps for copying portal theme:
Create a new portal theme on the first Netscaler.
