In a Citrix Cloud migration with an on-premises resource location, which change is required to enable application launch for cloud-managed resources?

• A. Add the Citrix Cloud Connectors as Secure Ticket Authority (STA) servers on Citrix ADC and StoreFront.
• B. Remove the Citrix polices on the old Citrix Delivery Controllers.
• C. Add the Citrix Cloud Connectors as XML servers to the existing StoreFront servers.
• D. Decommission the old Citrix Delivery Controllers and Databases.

Answer: (A)

The essence here is the ticketing path used to launch apps across hybrid Cloud and on‑prem environments. In a Citrix Cloud migration with an on‑prem resource location, the Cloud Connectors must take on the Secure Ticket Authority role so that tickets for launching cloud‑managed apps are issued and trusted by the on‑prem infrastructure. By adding the Cloud Connectors as STA servers on both the Citrix ADC (NetScaler) and the StoreFront environment, tickets can be generated and validated correctly as users attempt to launch applications. This creates a seamless flow where the on‑prem StoreFront and delivery components accept tickets issued by the Cloud Connectors, enabling the cloud‑managed resources to launch properly. Other options don’t provide this ticketing bridge. Removing policies on the old Delivery Controllers isn’t what enables cloud launches and could disrupt existing authentication flows. Configuring Cloud Connectors as XML servers isn’t the mechanism used for STA in this scenario. Decommissioning the old Delivery Controllers isn’t required to enable cloud launches and would remove on‑prem resources from the mix.
