Backup
Network healthcheck packets are
exchanged
Two appliances can form an active/passive cluster
• Health-checking packets constantly exchanged between pair
• When the primary fails, the secondary assumes the IP address
User sessions are HA aware
• All sessions are replicated on secondary
• “show aaa session” on secondary shows active users
Other Features
• VoIP support
• Universal licensing
• Client-side cleanup
• Server-initiated connections
• FIPS 140-2 compliance

3. Access Gateway communicates
the user credentials and policy
conditions to Web Interface
4. Web Interface displays the user’s
set of applications.
5. User clicks an application icon
6. Web Interface requests a ticket
from the Secure Ticket Authority
7. Web Interface sends a ticket to the
user in a ICA ® file
8. The ICA client launches and sends
secure ICA traffic to Access
Gateway
9. Access Gateway validates the
ticket against the STA
10. The ICA session is established
