Solution Summary

This guide describes integrating Citrix NetScaler with RSA using SAML and RADIUS. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.

Use Case

Citrix NetScaler can be integrated with RSA using SAML and RADIUS. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to Citrix NetScaler. 
    

Integration Types

My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to Citrix NetScaler users, leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported.
Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR. 

Note: RSA will continue to maintain existing SAML SSO integrations using IDR My Applications. At a to-be-determined future date, RSA will announce the end-of-life (EOL) date for the SAML SSO support with the IDR. For more information, see Available Now: My Page SSO Enhancements.   
      
Relying Party integration allows Citrix NetScaler users’ web browsers to be automatically redirected to CAS for authentication. With Relying Party integration, Cloud Access Service (CAS) can manage either additional authentication only or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication, depending on the service provider's capability.

RADIUS integrations provide a text-driven interface for RSA within the partner application. RADIUS provides support for most RSA authentication methods and flows.

Supported Features

This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with Citrix NetScaler using each integration type.

Configuration Summary

This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate Citrix NetScaler with RSA using all of the integration types.
This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and Citrix NetScaler components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
