Citrix Netscaler Add-On

avatar

Hello together,

would it be possible to add a functionality to the Citrix Netscaler Add-On so that we can use a passcode (generated from a PIN+Token)?
The integrated session "Citrix (Web)" already provides that functionality but seems not to be suitable for Netscaler Portal.

Regards,

Hi,
We don't have access to netscaler in our office. Do you know if you could provide us an url? We just need an access to the page and not the credentials.

I'll send you a PN with a Link.

It looks like this:

Username: _____________
Password: ______________
Passcode: ______________

where Passcode is PPPPTTTTTTT. PPPP is a number which is already known and TTTTTTTT is a RSA-Token unique to the session.

Do you think it would be possible to have a dialog where this token can be filled in and then send together with the previously provisioned data (username, password and 4-digit PIN) to the Website?

Hi,
Thank you very much. I will do my best to support this. You might have to use the beta version for that.

Hello Thomas,

Good news! We will add this functionality in the next build of the add-on. I tested using the website you sent David and it filled all 3 fields properly. We can't post the add-on yet since it will only work with RDM 11.5 or later (we had to change how RDM handles add-ons to make this work) but as soon as the new version of RDM is out, we'll be able to publish it. I'll keep you updated in this thread. :)

Hello,

thanks for the Add-On. It seems to work fine - except for one thing:
Username, Password and Passcode can be filled and then the form is submitted automatically. What we need is (2 options):
1. A checkbox to decide wether to send the form automatically or not,
2. A possibility to enter the passcode manually before connecting/submitting the form.

This is why the passcode consists of 2 parts: <static information>+<dynamic Token> i.e. 3333TTTTTTTT where TTTTTTT is generated by an RSA-Token and 3333 is known.

Maybe it's possible to improve that Add-In in that way.

Hello,

Adding a checkbox to choose whether you want to auto submit the value is easy.

For the manual passcode would the following work: When opening the connection, a window opens and it is autofilled with the value you have put in the Passcode field. You can then add to that value with your dynamic token and press OK, which will autologin with that new value in the passcode field.

Hi,

it would be very nice if you could implement the second option.
This is what we need!

Thank you.

I attached to this post a new version of the add-on with two changes. There is now an auto-submit checkbox which is enabled by default, and a prompt for passcode checkbox that you can use too. The prompt for passcode checkbox will open a window that will be autofilled with the value you put in the entry (so your static part) and you can add the rest to it.

You can install the add-on by replacing the current DLL located in %localappdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager

Please note that you currently can't "append" to the entered password, you need to reveal it first (with the show password button), then type in the rest. This will be fixed in the next version of RDM.

Hi Hubert,

The Add-On works great, however, when trying to deploy it to our team who all have different passcodes we run into an issue whereby we are not able to store the passcode automatically for each person. Usually, when setting up a credential we all have our own which works for us, but in this instance, we cannot create a user-specific passcode option. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks
Tom

Hello Tom,

This is a good idea. Unfortunately I'm not sure if we could easily do it as a User Specific Setting since Citrix Netscaler is an add-on. We'll add this to our todo list and see what we can do.

Hi Hubert,

Excellent thank you :)

Thanks

I think we could add the custom variables in the user specifics and we could replace it when opening the connection.
