In Citrix XenApp 6.5, you configure a policy in Citrix AppCenter to route connections through Citrix Gateway. In Citrix Virtual Desktops 7.1, you use Citrix Studio to configure the settings.

You can restrict access to a Delivery Group’s machines. You can restrict access for users by using SmartAccess that filters user connections made through Citrix Gateway. You can perform this task in the Policy node in Studio, or through policy settings as described in Quick reference table.

In Studio, under Delivery Groups, select the Delivery Group you want to restrict.
Click Edit Delivery Group and then click Access policy.
On the Access Policy page, select Connections through Citrix Gateway. Only connections through the Citrix Gateway are allowed.
To choose a subset of those connections, select Connections meeting any of the following filters:
1. Define the Citrix Gateway site.
2. Add, edit, or remove the SmartAccess strings that define the allowed user access scenarios for the Delivery Group. For more information about configuring SmartAccess, see Configuring SmartAccess on Citrix Gateway.
