Integrating Forcepoint URL Filtering with Citrix

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x

Forcepoint URL Filtering can be integrated with Citrix™ XenApp™ 5.0, 6.0, and 6.5.

  • To have their Internet activity managed by your web protection software, Citrix client computers must access the Internet through a Citrix server.
  • Non-Citrix clients in the network can be managed as part of the same web protection deployment. See Combining Citrix with another integration section in Initial Setup of Citrix integration for more information.

Integrating Forcepoint URL Filtering with Citrix XenApp involves the following components:

  • Citrix Integration Service must be installed on each Citrix server to allow that server to communicate with Filtering Service.
  • Filtering Service interacts with Citrix Integration Service and Network Agent to determine whether to block or permit Internet requests.
  • Network Agent manages Internet protocols not managed by your Citrix server integration.

    Although Network Agent can manage protocols other than HTTP, FTP, or SSL used by applications on the Citrix server, it can only apply a computer or network policy, or the Default policy to those requests.
