Configuring XenMobile in a Web Browser
After completing the initial portion of the XenMobile configuration in your hypervisor Command Prompt window, complete the process in your web browser.
1. In your web browser, navigate to the location provided at the conclusion of the Command Prompt
window configuration.
2. Type the XenMobile console administrator account user name and password you created in the Command Prompt window.
3. On the Get Started page, click Start. The Licensing page appears.
4. Configure the license. XenMobile comes with an evaluation license valid for 30 days. For details on adding and configuring licenses and configuring expiration notifications, see . Important: If you intend to cluster nodes, or instances, of XenMobile, you need to use the Citrix Licensing on a remote
server.
5. On the Certificate page, click Import. The Import dialog box appears.
6. Import your APNs and SSL Listener certificate. For details on working with certificates, see.
Note: The SSL Listener certificate requires restarting the server.
7. If appropriate to the environment, configure NetScaler Gateway. For details on configuring NetScaler Gateway, see.
Note: You can deploy NetScaler Gateway at the perimeter of your organization's internal network (or intranet) to provide a secure single point of access to the servers, applications, and other network resources that reside in the internal network. In this deployment, all remote users must connect to NetScaler Gateway before they can access any resources in the internal network.
Note: Although NetScaler Gateway is an optional setting, after you enter data on the page, you must clear or complete the required fields before you can leave the page.
8. Complete the LDAP configuration to access users and groups from Active Directory. For details on configuring the LDAP connection, see.
9. Configure the notification server to be able to send messages to users. For details on notification server configuration, see.
Configuring FIPS with XenMobile
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode in XenMobile supports U.S. federal government customers by configuring the server to use only FIPS 140-2 certified libraries for all encryption operations. Installing your XenMobile server with FIPS mode ensures that all data at rest and data in transit for both the XenMobile client and server are fully compliant with FIPS 140-2.
Before installing a XenMobile Server in FIPS mode, you need to complete the following prerequisites.
->You must use an external SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014 for the XenMobile database. The SQL Server also must be configured for secure SSL communication. For instructions on configuring secure SSL communication to SQL Server, see the SQL Server Books Online.
->Secure SSL communication requires that an SSL certificate be installed on your SQL Server. The SSL certificate can either be a public certificate from a commercial CA or a self-signed certificate from an internal CA. Note that
SQL Server 2014 cannot accept a wildcard certificate. Citrix recommends, therefore, that you request an SSL certificate with the FQDN of the SQL Server.
->If you use a self-signed certificate for SQL Server, you will need a copy of the root CA certificate that issued your self-signed certificate. The root CA certificate must be imported to the XenMobile server during installation.
Configuring FIPS mode
You can enable FIPS mode only during the initial setup of XenMobile server. It is not possible to enable FIPS after installation is complete. Therefore, if you plan on using FIPS mode, you must install the XenMobile server with FIPS mode from the start. In addition, if you have a XenMobile cluster, all cluster nodes must have FIPS enabled; you cannot have a mix of FIPS and non-FIPS XenMobile servers in the same cluster.
There is a Toggle FIPS mode option in the XenMobile command-line interface that is not for production use. This option is intended for non-production, diagnostic use and is not supported on a production XenMobile server.
1. During initial setup, enable FIPS mode.
2. Upload the root CA certificate for your SQL Server. If you used a self-signed SSL certificate rather than a public certificate on your SQL Server, choose Yes for this option and then do one of the following:
a. Copy and paste the CA certificate.
b. Import the CA certificate. To import the CA certificate, you must post the certificate to a website that is accessible from the XenMobile server via an HTTP URL. For details, see the section later
in this article.
3. Specify the server name and port of your SQL Server, the credentials for logging into SQL Server, and the database name to create for XenMobile.
Note: You can use either a SQL logon or an
Active Directory account to access SQL Server, but the logon you use must have the DBcreator role.
4. To use an Active Directory account, enter the credentials in the format domain\username.
5. Once these steps are complete, proceed with the XenMobile initial setup.
To confirm that the configuration of FIPS mode is successful, log on to the XenMobile command-line interface. The phrase In FIPS Compliant Mode appears in the logon banner.
