This workshop-style course provides learners with valuable experience building and testing designs for Citrix Access Suite 4.0. Over 80% of the class is conducted through hands-on exercises.

Learners build and configure an environment comprised of Citrix Presentation Server 4.0, Citrix Password Manager 4.1, and Citrix Access Gateway Advanced Edition 4.2 to meet the needs of a fictitious company. After configuring each product, learners test their configurations to ensure correctness. This course culminates in a final test of the entire environment, in which learners log in to their Presentation Server farm through Access Gateway with Advanced Access Control and launch published applications for which the Password Manager agent provides passwords. Learners conduct the test with different user accounts to ensure the various policies are configured correctly.
