| The first component you will need to install is the Secure Ticketing Authority (STA). The STA is responsible for issuing session tickets in response to connection requests for published resources. These session tickets form the basis of authentication and authorization for access to published resources in a MetaFrame XP server farm. Note: If you are using MetaFrame Secure Access Manager then it is not necessary need to install the STA separately. An instance of the STA is installed when you install MetaFrame Secure Access Manager. The following details how to do a typical install of the STA service. 1. Verify the IIS 5.0 is installed and working properly. 2. If you will be doing secure communications to the STA server then ensure a SSL server certificate is installed on this server. 3. Verify you can communicate with the STA server via FQDN. 4. Insert the MetaFrame XP Components CD and when the Citrix MetaFrame XP Components pop up opens click the Secure Gateway button. 3. Click the Secure Ticket Authority button 4. Click Next to continue. 
5. Click the I accept the license agreement radio button and click Next. 
6. Click Next to continue. 
7. You are now prompted to select the location of web servers script directory. If you have changed the default location then you need to reflect the change. Click Next to continue. 
8. Click Next. 
9. Click Finish to accept the default typical configuration. 
10. Click the Advanced radio button and click Next to continue. 
11. If this is your first STA server then I highly recommend accepting the default STA ID if not then accend the number by 1. i.e, STA02, STA03 
12. Click Finish. 
You have now successfully configured the STA component and are ready to install the Secure Gateway service on another server.
