Access Suite 4.0: Build/Test Workshop

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

CTX1456AI prepares delegates to take the 1Y0-456 Citrix Access Suite 4.0: Build/Test exam, which is required for the following certifications:

• Citrix Certified Enterprise Administrator (CCEA) for Citrix Access Suite 4.0
• Citrix Certified Integration Architect (CCIA) for Citrix Access Suite 4.0

Audience

This course is intended for architects, integrators, consultants and administrators who implement Citrix Access Suite 4.0 products in an enterprise environment. Delegates are assumed to have administrative knowledge of all products in the Citrix Access Suite 4.0.

Skills Gained

Delegates 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, delegates test their configurations to ensure correctness. This course culminates in a final test of the entire environment, in which delegates 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. Delegates conduct the test with different user accounts to ensure the various policies are configured correctly.
