Citrix NetScaler customization

NetScaler Gateway is the front door to your Citrix environment. We turn its logon pages into a branded, helpful experience, including nFactor, OTP and password screens.

Custom NetScaler 14.1 gateway logon page
Overview

Citrix NetScaler is the application delivery controller that most organizations put in front of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. It also secures access to other web applications over the internet. (Citrix renamed Citrix ADC back to its original name, NetScaler.) Whatever you use it for, our branding fits.

We work with NetScaler portal themes, extending them with custom CSS and JavaScript, and with core file-level customization where that fits better. If one appliance hosts several virtual servers, responder policies let each URL show its own design. We brand every screen: logon and logoff, ManageOTP, password change, choice pages and portal pages.

We can also set up AAA, ManageOTP and other nFactor logon schemas for you, and add custom features managed through IAdmin.

Custom features

Features you can add to Citrix NetScaler

Pick the ones your users need. If you have an idea that is not on the list, we will build it.

Announcements

Post news, maintenance windows and alerts on the sign-in page, the app page or both. Publish, edit, schedule and retire messages from IAdmin, and target them by Active Directory group or OU.

Web links

Put company links, policies and support resources in front of users before and after they sign in. Manage the list from IAdmin and show different links to different AD groups or OUs.

Forgot password

A self-service reset on the sign-in page. Users verify who they are and set a new password without calling the help desk, following the reset flow they already know from the web.

Forgot username

Users who cannot remember their sign-in name verify their email address or phone number against Active Directory, and receive their username by email.

Password reset by admin

An IAdmin module that resets a user's password in one step, checks it against your AD password policy and emails the new password to the user. No need to open a domain controller.

Create AD users

Create Active Directory users from the browser with company, title, email and phone details, place them in the right OU and groups, and email them their credentials automatically.

reCAPTCHA and bot protection

Add Google reCAPTCHA v2 or v3, or a CAPTCHA provider of your choice, to the sign-in page and beyond. reCAPTCHA v3 also gives you traffic analytics and flags suspicious sign-in attempts.

Social feeds

Show your company's X (Twitter), LinkedIn or Facebook feed on the portal. The widget is configured from IAdmin.

Your own widgets

Weather, clocks, status indicators, a help desk contact card. If it helps your users, we can build it into the portal.

IAdmin management portal

IAdmin ships free with every package that includes a custom feature. It runs as its own site where you manage announcements, links, documents, email templates and branding assets, reset passwords and create users. Its Web Encrypt/Decrypt tool encrypts the SQL and LDAP connection strings in your web.config. Need another module? We add it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What can you customize on NetScaler Gateway?

Logon pages, portal pages, nFactor screens such as ManageOTP and password change, and Web Interface on NetScaler.

Which NetScaler versions do you support?

Every version from NetScaler 10.0 through Citrix ADC 12 and 13.1 to NetScaler 14.1. We can also move an existing custom interface to a newer version.

How long does a NetScaler project take?

Around a week for design, then about three days to implement logon and portal pages. Web Interface on NetScaler takes a week of design and a week of development.

Can we install the custom interface on several appliances?

Yes, on as many appliances as you like.

Will the custom interface survive an appliance reboot?

Not by default: NetScaler restores its default files on reboot. Our installation guide includes the steps that make the customization persistent, and we can do it with you remotely.
