Catch Sam Jacobs at Citrix Synergy 2016!

If you are going to be at Citrix Synergy  this year, be sure to register for Sam Jacobs breakout session on Netscalers!  Check out the official promotional post below:

NetScaler Debugging A to Z
You’ve spent the past few weeks implementing all the latest blog posts on configuring your NetScaler, and you’re eager to see the fruits of your labors. You browse to your Access Gateway FQDN, and … nothing but a blank screen! You review your configuration, and everything seems to be in order, but something obviously isn’t. How do you go about figuring out what’s wrong?
In this 90-minute breakout session, we will travel through the entire NetScaler data flow, including:
– Pre-logon (navigating to the logon page),
– Authentication,
– Session initiation (routing to StoreFront, Web Interface, or a custom home page),
– Desktop/application enumeration, and
– Desktop/application launch.
At each point along the way, you will learn the most common issues one might experience. Using the built-in NetScaler tools, as well as public-domain (free!) utilities you will learn how to diagnose, isolate, and correct them.

Bulletproof your configuration
While having the knowledge necessary to debug and remediate NetScaler issues is critical, the best way to debug a NetScaler configuration is not to have to debug it at all! We will review a set of Best Practices to be used when setting up a NetScaler, so that the need for debugging will be greatly minimized.
NetScaler Rewrite Engine
NetScaler has undergone a tremendous transformation since the Access Gateway was acquired from Net6 in 2004. One of the most powerful features of the NetScaler is its ability to dynamically rewrite URLs, allowing clientless access to internal resources. During the session, we will also dive deep into the rewrite engine, where we will examine how the NetScaler performs this process, what can go wrong, and what can be done about it.

So join me at Citrix Synergy for SYN317: NetScaler Troubleshooting and Debugging Best Practices, on Thursday, May 26^th from 8:30-10:00AM PST in Bellini 2101A. Let’s go bug-hunting! Hope to see you there!
