Whilst you may be familiar with generating a CSR using IIS, it is also possible to generate a CSR using NetScaler and from there submit a certificate request to a public or internal CA using that CSR to generate a certificate.

Import NetScaler Gateway configuration in to StoreFront
It was quoted back at Citrix Synergy 2016 that the ability to import NetScaler Gateway configurations in to StoreFront was coming and it is here. StoreFront 3.6 that was released alongside XenApp & XenDesktop 7.9 can import NetScaler Gateway configurations that have been created using NetScaler firmware versions 11.1 build 48.10 and higher. No longer do you have to manually configure the NetScaler configuration within StoreFront. NetScaler 11.1.51.21 added the ability to export multiple NetScaler Gateway configurations and StoreFront 3.9 added the ability to import multiple configurations and hand select configurations to import.
Get an A+ rating score on NetScaler 11.1-12.1
Whilst this guide specifically uses NetScaler v11.1 many of the tweaks that secure the NetScaler configuration can be applied to prior versions or later versions. This has also been tested on NetScaler 12.0.57.24. This guide shows how to obtain an A+ rating score from SSL Labs for your NetScaler Gateway vServer.
Azure Multi-Factor Authentication with NetScaler Unified Gateway
MFA/Azure Multi Factor Authentication (previously PhoneFactor) is a multi-factor authentication technology that can be used with IIS, VPNs, OWA, ADFS, Office 365 and NetScaler to name a few using either the LDAP or RADIUS protocols from Azure cloud or on-premise. MFA has the ability to verify a users identity by calling their phone, texting their phone or using an app for verification. Using a phone for the second factor allows you to make use of something everyone will likely already have without additional bits of hardware whilst making it a great deal harder for attackers to break into accounts.
nFactor authentication with NetScaler Unified Gateway
nFactor authentication with NetScaler provides a way to configure flexible, agile multi-factor authentication schemas based on factors such as who is connecting and from where users are connecting from or if users fail authentication. This allows NetScaler to provide authentication based on many different use cases and scenarios to provide secure access to backend applications and desktops.
NetScaler backup and restore
There are multiple ways to perform backups and restores on NetScaler. Usually you perform those backups for disaster recovery if the NetScaler corrupts, or you are performing an upgrade to NetScaler. You can manually backup and restore NetScaler configurations using the GUI, CLI, or you can use Citrix Command Center and NetScaler MAS to perform automatic backups and manual restores.
