Default Parameters for CtxAuthTest

This test emulates a user login process at the system level on a XenApp server and reports whether the login succeeded and how long it took.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the CtxAuthTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• This test emulates a user login process at the system level on a XenApp server. Therefore, specify the login name of a user with interactive logon and logon locally privileges, in the USER text box.

• In the PASSWORD text box, enter the password that corresponds to the specified USER name.

• In the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box, confirm the specified PASSWORD by retyping it here.

• Specify the name of the domain to which the test will try to login, in the DOMAIN text box. If the test is to login to a local host, specify ‘none’ here.

  Note:

  If users are spread across multiple domains, then, you can configure this test with multiple DOMAIN specifications; in this case, for every DOMAIN, a USER-PASSWORD pair might also have to be configured. Sometimes, you might want the test to login as specific users from the same domain, to check how long each user login takes. Both these scenarios require the configuration of multiple DOMAINs and/or multiple USER names and PASSWORDs. In order to enable users to specify these details with ease, eG Enterprise provides a special page; to access this page, click on the Click here hyperlink at the top of the parameters in the test configuration page. To know how to use this page, refer to Monitoring Citrix Environments document.

• By default, the REPORT BY DOMAIN NAME flag is set to Yes. This implies that by default, the detailed diagnosis of this test will display the domainname\username of each user who accessed an application on the server. This way, administrators will be able to quickly determine which user logged into the server from which domain. If you want the detailed diagnosis to display only the username of these users, set this flag to No.

• Once the aforesaid values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
