STA does NOT need IIS. In the "old days", STA was a separate installable component. In PS 4.5/XenApp 5/6.0 (not 6.5), STA is installed on every server that has the Presentation Server or XenApp component installed. You want to point the STA (AKA XML Broker) at your Most Preferred Zone Data Collector (ZDC). To find the current ZDC, go to a command prompt on any xenapp server and type in qfarm. The server with the "D" to the far right is your ZDC. The server with the "*" is the server you ran qfarm from.
In XenApp 6.5, a server can be a collector/session-host server or just a session-host server. In that case, only the collectors can be a ZDC and have the STA/XML Broker functionality. Hope this helps.

For PCI Complaince, I am needing to configure an up-and-running Citrix server through Citrix Secure Gateway. The server is Windows 2003 Server, SP2. The Citrix installation is old – 2007, “PresentationServer”, 4.5. Farm (and the entire Citrix environment) exists on only that one box. I have the software installation for Secure Gateway on a separate machine, which can be moved into our DMZ once I get things figured out... So, Dumb Question #1: I keep seeing references to the Secure Ticket Authority (STA), requesting both the FQDN and the path. Looking at the Presentation Server, I see nothing resembling this. Is it possible that our Citrix server has been up and running these 5 years without STA having been installed? Some documentation says the STA and the presentation server can be on the same machine beginning with 4.5. Still… (If in fact STA is on that server, where would I find the path to it?)
