    Note:

    You might be prompted to allow or deny permission to manage and make phone calls (if not already granted via Intune). Tap Allow to grant permission. You may deny this permission but if Intune NAC check is required for device authentication on NetScaler Gateway, you cannot connect to your company’s internal network until you grant this permission.

  10. Provide credentials for authentication with NetScaler Gateway and tap LOG IN.

    Enter credentials and allow connection requests

    You may be prompted to select a certificate if client certificate authentication is configured on NetScaler Gateway. You can provide access to the certificate.

  11. You are prompted by Android system to allow Connection request for VPN tunnel setup. Tap OK to grant Citrix Secure Access permission to establish secure connection with your internal company network.

    Note: This prompt is only displayed when you establish a secure connection to NetScaler Gateway for the first time. It is not displayed for subsequent connection attempts until Citrix Secure Access is uninstalled and then installed again on the device.

You are connected to your internal company network. A key icon appears in the device status bar notifying you that VPN connection is active. Citrix Secure Access client’s VPN service notification icon also appears on the status bar. The connect switch changes its state to connected and a check mark icon appears next to the VPN profile name.
