Enhancing Security with Two-Factor Authentication on Citrix Web Interface



Duo has integrated with Citrix Web Interface to provide two-factor authentication for users. Citrix RADIUS configurations using the traditional iframe-based Duo Prompt have reached the end of support, and customers migrating to RADIUS configurations without iframe, like RADIUS with Automatic Push, should ensure continued support. Given that Citrix Web Interface is a product marked for end-of-life, transitioning to NetScaler, which can be configured with Duo Single Sign-On, is recommended.

To start the integration process, customers need to set up a Duo Authentication Proxy server on a supported operating system to receive RADIUS requests from the Citrix Web Interface. A step-by-step guide is provided for the installation and configuration of the proxy server along with setting up Duo in the Citrix Web Interface Management Console. Once the proxy server is running, users can enroll in Duo, and upon logging in, they can authenticate using Duo Push, phone callback, SMS passcodes, or numeric passcodes generated by Duo Mobile or hardware tokens.

Compatibility requirements, initial setup steps, secret key management, installation instructions for Windows and Unix environments, and configuration guidelines are covered in detail for seamless integration. Additionally, the document provides information on troubleshooting tips, authentication proxy service startup methods, and testing the authentication setup to ensure a smooth user experience.

Whether through the Proxy Manager utility or command-line interface, the process for initiating and validating the Authentication Proxy service is explained thoroughly for both Windows and Unix platforms. Users are guided through configuring the proxy for both Duo-only authentication and integration with the Citrix Web Interface for a robust two-factor authentication solution.

With guidance on enrollment, user interaction during authentication, and configuring settings within Citrix Web Interface, this document aims to facilitate a secure and efficient implementation of the Duo-Citrix integration. Links to additional resources for further assistance or advanced troubleshooting are also mentioned to aid users in successfully deploying two-factor authentication with Duo on Citrix Web Interface.
