I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
1. This Certification Report states the outcome of the Common Criteria (CC) security
evaluation of Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition to the Sponsor, Citrix Systems Inc, as
summarised on page 2 ‘Certification Statement’ of this report, and is intended to assist
prospective consumers when judging the suitability of the IT security of the product for their
particular requirements.
2. Prospective consumers of Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition should understand the
specific scope of the certification by reading this report in conjunction with the Security Target
[ST], which specifies the functional, environmental and assurance requirements.
Evaluated Product and TOE Scope
3. The following product completed evaluation to [CC] EAL2 assurance level augmented by
ALC_FLR.2 in March 2015:
 Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition running on Microsoft Windows Server
2012 Datacenter Edition and Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
4. The Developer was Citrix Systems Inc.
5. Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition (hereinafter referred to as “XenApp”) is a
virtualisation product that centralises and delivers published applications as a service to users
anywhere. Published applications hosted on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 can be run on-
demand each time the user logs on. This ensures that performance never degrades, while the high
speed delivery protocol provides unparalleled responsiveness over any network.
6. When XenApp is used in conjunction with Citrix Desktop 7.6 Platinum Edition
([CRP281]) access to both virtual desktops and published applications is provided. When used
in the XenApp only configuration, the TOE delivers access only to published applications.
7. The evaluated configuration of this product is described in this report as the Target of
Evaluation (TOE). Details of the TOE Scope, its assumed environment and the evaluated
configuration are given in Chapter III ‘Evaluated Configuration’ of this report.
8. The TOE excludes the Microsoft platform components with which XenApp integrates.
The TOE also excludes some Citrix components which are normally included in the XenApp
product, as listed in Section 1.4.3 of [ST]. In addition, the following features of XenApp are not
included in the scope of the evaluation:
 Only one application delivery method is included in the evaluation: XenApp
published apps, also known as server-based hosted applications. These are published
applications hosted from a Windows server to a Windows desktop. All other
application delivery methods are excluded from the evaluation.
CRP282 – Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition
March 2015 Issue 1.0 Page 5 of 24
 In the evaluated configuration each user is given access to only a single application
delivery group. The capability for users to belong to multiple application delivery
groups is not included in the evaluation.
 Only Full Administrators are included in the evaluation; other delegated
administrator roles are excluded.
 Administrators can enable/disable local peripheral support either as a global data
access control policy or for individual users and groups of users; only the facility for
applying a global data access control policy is included in the evaluation;
 Desktop appliances and client devices other than Windows PCs are not included as
User Devices in the evaluation;
 Connection leasing is not included in the evaluation.
 Streaming applications using AppV is not included in the evaluation.
 The ability for administrators to deploy Personal vDisks for users and stream
applications using AppV is not included.
 The ability for users to access their personal office PC remotely from Citrix Receiver
using the Remote PC Access feature is not included.
9. It should be noted that the capability for Application Users to belong to multiple
application Delivery Groups is not included in the evaluation. Each user is given access to only
a single application delivery group.
10. An overview of the TOE and its product architecture can be found in Chapter IV ‘Product
Architecture’ of this report. Platform requirements are specified in Section 1.2.3 of [ST].
Security Target
11. The Security Target [ST] fully specifies the TOE’s Security Objectives, the Threats which
these Objectives counter, Organisational Security Policies (OSPs) which these Objectives meet
and the Security Functional Requirements (SFRs) that elaborate the Objectives. Most of the
SFRs are taken from CC Part 2 [CC2]; use of this standard facilitates comparison with other
evaluated products.
12. The extended components are defined in [ST] Section 5.
13. The TOE security policies are detailed in [ST]. The OSPs that must be met are specified in
[ST] Section 3.4.
14. The environmental assumptions related to the operating environment are detailed in
Chapter III (in ‘Environmental Requirements’) of this report.
CRP282 – Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition
March 2015 Issue 1.0 Page 6 of 24
Evaluation Conduct
15. The methodology described in [CEM] was used to conduct the evaluation. The TOE’s
SFRs and the security environment, together with much of the supporting evaluation
deliverables, were based on those of Citrix XenApp Version 6.0 Platinum Edition which had
previously been certified [CRP257] by the UK IT Security Evaluation and Certification Scheme
to the CC EAL2 assurance level, augmented with ALC_FLR.2. For the evaluation of Citrix
XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition, the Evaluators performed all evaluation activities as specified in
[CEM], using the previous evaluation results for guidance where appropriate.
16. The CESG Certification Body monitored the evaluation, which was performed by the
SiVenture Commercial Evaluation Facility (CLEF), and witnessed a sample of Evaluator tests.
The evaluation addressed the requirements specified in the Security Target [ST]. The results of
this work, completed in March 2015, were reported in the Evaluation Technical Report [ETR].
Evaluated Configuration
17. The TOE should be used in accordance with the environmental assumptions specified in
the Security Target [ST]. Prospective consumers are advised to check that the SFRs and the
evaluated configuration match their identified requirements, and to give due consideration to the
recommendations and caveats of this report.
18. The TOE should be used in accordance with its supporting guidance documentation
included in the evaluated configuration. Chapter II ‘TOE Security Guidance’ of this report
includes a number of recommendations regarding the secure download, installation,
configuration and operation of the TOE.
Conclusions
19. The conclusions of the CESG Certification Body are summarised on page 2 ‘Certification
Statement’ of this report.
Recommendations
20. Chapter II ‘TOE Security Guidance’ of this report includes a number of recommendations
regarding the secure delivery, receipt, installation, configuration and operation of the TOE.
21. In addition, the Evaluators’ comments and recommendations are as follows:
 All guidance necessary to determine that the TOE has been securely downloaded and
to securely install and operate the TOE is provided in, or referenced from [CCECG],
which is available for download from the Common Criteria link from the Citrix
Security webpage https://www.citrix.com/support/security-compliance.
22. The TOE relies on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 to provide platforms for server
components and SQL Server 2012 to provide a database for configuration data.
CRP282 – Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition
March 2015 Issue 1.0 Page 7 of 24
23. System integrators and risk owners using the TOE should therefore make suitable
arrangements to satisfy themselves that these components are also in their evaluated
configuration as recommended in ‘Pre Installation Tasks’ of [CCECG].
Disclaimers
24. This Certification Report and associated Certificate applies only to the specific version of
the product in its evaluated configuration (i.e. the TOE). This is specified in Chapter III
‘Evaluated Configuration’ of this report. The ETR on which this Certification Report is based
relates only to the specific items tested.
25. Certification is not a guarantee of freedom from security vulnerabilities. There remains a
small probability that exploitable vulnerabilities may be discovered after the Evaluators’
penetration tests were completed. This report reflects the CESG Certification Body’s view on
that date (see paragraph 67).
26. Existing and prospective consumers should check regularly for themselves whether any
security vulnerabilities have been discovered since the date of the penetration tests (as detailed in
Chapter V) and, if appropriate, should check with the Vendor to see if any patches exist for the
product and whether those patches have further assurance.
27. The installation of patches for security vulnerabilities, whether or not those patches have
further assurance, should improve the security of the TOE but should only be applied in
accordance with a consumer’s risk management policy. However, note that unevaluated
patching will invalidate the certification of the TOE, unless the TOE has undergone a formal re-
certification or is covered under an approved Assurance Continuity process by a CCRA
certificate-authorising Scheme.
28. All product or company names used in this report are for identification purposes only and
may be trademarks of their respective owners.
29. Note that the opinions and interpretations stated in this report under ‘Recommendations’
and ‘TOE Security Guidance’ are based on the experience of the CESG Certification Body in
performing similar work under the Scheme.

II. TOE SECURITY GUIDANCE
Introduction
30. The following sections provide guidance that is of particular relevance to consumers of the
TOE.
Delivery and Installation
31. The TOE is only delivered via download from the Citrix website (https://www.citrix.com),
ensuring “https” is specified in the address to provide a protected channel over which to perform
the download). When downloading the TOE, the consumer is recommended to check that the
evaluated versions of its constituent components have been downloaded, and to check that the
security of the TOE has not been compromised during delivery. Specific advice on delivery and
installation is provided in the TOE documents detailed below:
 Section 4 of [CCECG] “Before you begin”
 Section 4 of [CCECG] Task 1 to Task 4
32. In particular, Administrators should verify the MD5 checksum values against those
published on the Citrix download page, as detailed in Section 4 of [CCECG] “Download and
Verify the Installation Media”. Furthermore, Administrators should note the methods of
verifying the version of the installed TOE components as detailed in Section 4 of [CCECG] Task
1 to Task 4.
Guidance Documents
33. Specific configuration advice is in the Secure Configuration documents below:
 [CCECG]
34. The administration guidance documentation is as follows:
 Appendix A of [CCECG]
 [XAXD]
 [SF]
 [REC]
 [LIC]
 [GPO]
CRP282 – Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition
March 2015 Issue 1.0 Page 9 of 24
35. To maintain secure operation, the consumer is recommended to apply all installation and
preparative configuration steps detailed in [CCECG]2
to ensure the deployment adheres to the
evaluated configuration. This is particularly relevant because the protection of some TOE
components and mechanisms rely upon the specific configuration and protection afforded by the
environment. To aid the configuration of the server environment, [GPO_ZIP] provides the group
policy templates described in [GPO] so that the group policy objects can be imported directly
into the domain controller.
36. Administrators should note that guidance to be provided to their Application Users is
defined in Appendix B of [CCECG].

IV. PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE
Introduction
52. This Chapter gives an overview of the TOE’s main architectural features. Other details of
the scope of evaluation are given in Chapter III ‘Evaluated Configuration’ of this report.
Product Description and Architecture
53. The architecture of the TOE is described in [ST] Sections 1.3 and 1.4.2. XenApp provides
a complete published application delivery system by integrating several distributed components
with advanced configuration tools that simplify the creation and real-time management of the
published application infrastructure. The core components of XenApp are illustrated in Figure 4
below.
TOE Design Subsystems
54. The high-level TOE subsystems, and their security features/functionality, are:
 Delivery Controller. Installed on servers in the data centre, the controller requires that
users are authenticated, manages the servers hosting published applications, and
brokers connections between users and their published applications.
 Virtual Delivery Agent. Installed on virtual servers hosting published applications, the
agent enables direct ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) connections between
the servers hosting published applications and the end user’s User Device.
 Citrix Receiver. Installed on user devices, the Citrix Receiver enables direct ICA
connections from user devices to published applications.
 StoreFront. Installed on a server in the data centre, StoreFront is used to give
authorised users access through the Web or intranet to the published applications that
they are authorised to use. Users log on to StoreFront using an Internet browser and
are given the ICA file that the Citrix Receiver needs to connect to the Virtual Delivery
Agent for access to an authorised published application. When configured with Citrix
XenDesktop, StoreFront may also be accessed from an Internet browser running within
a virtual desktop to launch published applications the user is authorised to access.
 StoreFront Management Console. This provides an administration interface to
StoreFront, making use of Windows authentication for administrators. It provides
administrators with functions to manage the configuration of StoreFront, including
setting the user authentication method. This is installed on the StoreFront server.
 Citrix Studio. This provides an administration interface to the Delivery Controller,
making use of Windows authentication for administrators. It provides administrators
with a number of functions, to manage the configuration of published applications and
to manage users’ access permissions for published applications. This is installed on the
Delivery Controller.
CRP282 – Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition
March 2015 Issue 1.0 Page 16 of 24
 Database. This stores the Configdata managed by the administrators with the Citrix
Studio, including lists of permitted published applications, and access permissions for
administrators, as well as data used by the Delivery Controller to manage users and
sessions.
TOE Dependencies
55. The TOE dependencies on the IT environment are identified in Chapter III ‘Environmental
Requirements’ of this report.
TOE Security Functionality Interfaces
56. The external TOE Security Functionality Interfaces (TSFI) are shown in Figure 4 below :
Figure 4: XenApp TSFI
57. In Figure 4 above, elements shown shaded are components of the TOE. Red lines
represent interfaces into the TOE (i.e. user interfaces and interfaces with external components
including the operating system). The dashed red line shows where the Application User interacts
with a TOE component (Citrix Receiver / StoreFront) via an environment component (Web
Browser). This is still considered to be a TSFI between the user and the TOE component.
CRP282 – Citrix XenApp 7.6 Platinum Edition
March 2015 Issue 1.0 Page 17 of 24
58. Blue lines between TOE components represent interfaces that are internal to the TOE (note
however, that these are delivered through the underlying network mediated by the operating
system).
59. To avoid over-complicating this diagram, other interfaces that are entirely outside the TOE
(for example, between an Application User and the operating system on their User Device, or
between the operating system on each server and the domain controller) are not shown.
60. The interactions between the components, to provide a published application to an
Application User, are detailed in [ST] Section 1.3.

V. TOE TESTING
Developer Testing
61. The Developer’s security tests covered:
 all SFRs;
 all Security Functionality;
 the TSFI, as identified in Chapter IV (in ‘TOE Security Functionality Interfaces’) of
this report.
62. The Developer’s security tests also included those TOE interfaces which are internal to the
product and thus had to be exercised indirectly. The Evaluators witnessed a sample of 8 of the
Developer’s security tests at the Developer’s premises. The Evaluators confirmed the results
were consistent with those reported by the Developer.
63. The Developer carried out testing on the hardware described in Chapter III (in ‘Test
Configurations’) of this report.
Evaluator Testing
64. The Evaluators devised and ran a total of 14 independent security functional tests, different
from those performed by the Developer. No anomalies were found.
65. The Evaluators also devised and ran a total of 5 penetration tests to address potential
vulnerabilities considered during the evaluation. No exploitable vulnerabilities or errors were
detected.
66. The Evaluators carried out testing on the hardware described in Chapter III (in ‘Test
Configurations’) of this report. All Evaluator testing was conducted at the Developer’s premises.
67. The Evaluators completed their penetration tests on 30 January 2015.
Vulnerability Analysis
68. The Evaluators’ vulnerability analysis, which preceded penetration testing and was
reported in [ETR], was based on public domain sources and the visibility of the TOE provided
by the evaluation deliverables.
Platform Issues
69. The platform on which the TOE is installed should meet the requirements as specified in
[ST] Section 1.2.3 and Chapter III (in ‘Environmental Requirements’) of this report.
