The following section describes the use case of configuring domain drop-down, username, and password field in the first factor and policy evaluation based on groups in the next factor.
Use Case: Configure domain drop-down, username, and password field in the first factor and policy evaluation based on groups in the next factor.
  1. User logs in to Citrix Workspace and gets redirected to authentication virtual server.
  2. NetScaler presents a logon form with a domain drop-down list, username, and password field.
    Domain nFactor
  3. User selects a value from the domain drop-down list and enters credentials.
  4. NetScaler presents a logon form based on the user input.
The following diagram shows a sample nFactor visualizer flow.

  2. Click the plus icon to add a factor in the nFactor Flow.
    Domain drop2
  3. Enter a name for the Factor.

  4. Add the schema for the First Factor by clicking on Add Schema.
    Domain drop4
  5. Create a EULA_Schema by selecting the DomainDropdown.xml login schema.
    Domain drop5
  6. Choose the schema for the first factor created in step 5.
    Domain drop6
  7. Click Add Policy and choose the LDAP Policy for first authentication.

  9. Select Create decision block and enter a name in Decision Factor Name field.
    Domain 9
  10. Click Add Policy to create a policy for the domain check.
    Domain 10
  11. To create a policy to check for domain, select NO_AUTHN under Action Type.
    Domain 11
  12. Choose the previously created policy to add in decision block.
    Domain 12
  13. Click the plus icon below the newly created policy to add another policy for checking AAATM.COM.
    Domain 13
  14. Create another policy to check for the second domain.
    Domain 14
  15. Choose the policy created in the previous step to add in decision block.
    Domain 15
  16. Select the + sign next to AAATM.COM to add factor that is evaluated if user is a part of AAATM.COM. In this case, add an LDAP Policy.
    Domain 16
  17. Choose a schema for domain AAATM.COM users. In this example, password only schema is used that gives user a text field to enter the Password.
    Domain 17
  18. Follow step 7 add the policy for authenticating users of AAATM.COM domain
  19. Select the + sign next to NSI-TEST.COM to add factor that will be evaluated if user is a part of NSI-TEST.COM. In this example RADIUS authentication menthod is used.
    Domain 19
  20. Follow step 17 to add a schema password only and then add the policy for RADIUS as shown in step 7.
  21. Click Done. The configuration is saved automatically.
  22. Select the nFactor Flow just created and bind it to a AAA Virtual Server by clicking Bind to Authentication Server and clicking Create
    Domain 22
Note
Bind and Unbind the nFactor Flow through the option given in nFactor Flow under Show Bindings only.
To unbind the nFactor Flow, do the following.
  1. Select the nFactor Flow and click Show Bindings.
  2. Select the Authentication VServer and click Unbind.

Configure domain drop-down, username, and password field in the first factor and policy evaluation based on groups in the next factor using CLI

The following configuration describes adding a TM virtual server for resource access, adding authentication virtual server for securing TM virtual server, and relevant policies for this use-case.
add lb vserver lbn HTTP 10.217.28.166 80 -persistenceType NONE -cltTimeout 180 -AuthenticationHost auth.nsi-test.com -Authentication ON -authnVsName avn

add authentication vserver avn SSL 10.217.28.167 443 -AuthenticationDomain nsi-test.com
add authentication login Schema nfactor-domain -authenticationSchema domain-dropdown.xml
add authentication policylabel nfactor-domain-pol -loginSchema nfactor-domain
add authentication Policy radius-auth -rule "HTTP.REQ.BODY(500).AFTER_STR(\"domain=\").CONTAINS(\"NSI-TEST.COM\")" -action <RADIUS-ACTION>
add authentication Policy next_ldap -rule "HTTP.REQ.BODY(500).AFTER_STR(\"domain=\").CONTAINS(\"AAATM.COM\")" -action <LDAP-ACTION>

bind authentication vserver avn -policy radius-auth -priority 10 -gotoPriorityExpression NEXT
bind authentication vserver avn -policy next_ldap -priority 20 -gotoPriorityExpression END
The following is an example used for this specific representation of logon form.
Note
This login Schema need not be separately configured on latest builds of NetScaler and is present as DomainDropdown.xml
