Hi @KorbiZac

Currently the template provides basic support for the versions of StoreFront that we know and some support for other Citrix Gateway variants, but there is no support for NetScaler and its variants.
Citrix has not followed a standard in its authentication flows nor has it been consistent between versions, so we leave it to those who wish to use an unsupported version of NetScaler to adapt the http flow to achieve the flow that NetScaler requires to reach the ICA file.

In order to achieve the objective of adapting the current http fragment to NetScaler support, you must first record a login flow in JMeter, understand what data you must correlate in the requests and see what things need to be adapted from the current flow.
Sometimes it is an extra request, or header, an extra field that is needed.
Users may have a NetScaler with an adapted login that requires extra fields to be resolved, or have an authentication method that prevents it from being automated (use of hardware token or two-step authentication with smartphones and similar). This can also happen with Storefront, and it is something that is impossible to support all the particular adaptations made by those who adapted the default authentication to a particular one of the institution.
There are also security controls at the NetScaler level that make it difficult to perform load tests on it.

If the intention is to test the infrastructure from the Storefront to the VDA servers, the recommendation is to try to perform the load tests within the network of the internal infrastructure by connecting directly to the Storefront and not using the public access of NetScaler.

If you manage to automate the login and download of the ica file with http recording in JMeter without http errors, then it is a matter of migrating those requests to the fragment that is used in the Citrix plugin template to "make the hook" and with that be able to raise the recorder or automate with the Citrix plugin.

In the documentation we mentioned something about what is generally required to achieve, which is the correlation of the token and incorporating the ica downloader, something that is also recommended is the use of the variables that are currently used related to the user identification, so that it can later be compatible (that the user and password sent to the fragment are incorporated in the appropriate places of the requests).
