Citrix FAS

Integration guide

This guide covers all the steps needed to integrate Citrix FAS with DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager, using DigiCert Autoenrollment Server for certificate provisioning.

Citrix Federated Authentication Service (FAS) supports user authentication and single-sign on (SSO) for virtual desktops and applications. Once authenticated, users are assigned a certificate to verify their identity throughout the virtualized environment.

The integration lets you use the DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager suite of tools to monitor and manage all the Citrix FAS user certificates, with automated issuance through DigiCert Autoenrollment Server.

Prerequisites
