January 8, 2024

Contributed by:

SaaS apps configuration with single sign-on on NetScaler Gateway is simplified by provisioning a template drop-down menu for popular SaaS apps. The SaaS app to be configured can be selected from the menu. The template pre-fills much of the information required for configuring applications. However, the information specific to the customer must still be provided.

Note:

To configure and publish SaaS apps, configure and publish on the NetScaler Gateway and then on the app server.

The steps in the next section help you configure and publish apps on NetScaler Gateway using a template. Then move on to the section that explains how to configure and publish on the app server.
