Which deployment method is supported for an RDP proxy?

• A. ICA proxy
• B. Two hops
• C. Optimal Gateway
• D. CVPN

Answer: (A)

ICA proxy is the deployment method supported for an RDP proxy. In Citrix Gateway, RDP proxy sessions are delivered by tunneling the RDP traffic through an ICA proxy channel, which lets the gateway apply authentication, access policies, and TLS termination to the remote-desktop connection in a single, secure path to the RDS host. This single-hop ICA proxy approach aligns with how Citrix Gateway handles published resources and keeps the security model consistent. A two-hop path would add unnecessary complexity and isn’t the supported deployment for RDP proxy here. Options like Optimal Gateway focus on gateway selection rather than the transport mechanism, and CVPN denotes VPN mode, which doesn’t provide the ICA-tunneled RDP proxy behavior.
