Which policy type is appropriate to enforce device posture checks before granting XenDesktop access on NetScaler Gateway?

• A. Responder
• B. Authorization
• C. Session
• D. Traffic

Answer: (C)

Enforcing device posture checks before granting XenDesktop access happens at the moment the gateway session is created. A session policy in NetScaler Gateway runs during session establishment and can include Endpoint Analysis (EPA) checks to verify device posture. If the device doesn’t meet the posture requirements, the session can be blocked or redirected to remediation, ensuring only compliant devices get access to XenDesktop. Responder policies are about customizing responses and aren’t used to gate a session. Authorization policies apply after authentication to control access to resources, not to prevent the session from starting based on posture. Traffic policies handle routing and traffic behavior, not posture enforcement.
