Configuration of CtxLogonSimCkTest

For a logon simulator to perform logon simulation, it is essential for the user to establish a user session by logging into the logon simulation endpoint at all times. Sometimes, the logon simulation endpoint may be down or the user may face connectivity issues to the logon simulation endpoint. During such circumstances, the logon simulator may stop the simulation process. When the simulation stops, administrators should quickly troubleshoot and resolve the issue at the earliest. To aid administrators in this regard, eG Enterprise offers the CtxLogonSimCkTest.

By closely monitoring the logon simulation endpoint, this test reports whether/not the user session on the endpoint is active.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. The default is 15 minutes.

• In the HOST text box, specify the HOST for which this test is to be configured.

• Specify the port used by the Citrix server in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• The simulator needs to run in the account of a user who has local administrator rights on the simulation end point - i.e., the system on which the external agent and the Citrix Workspace App have been installed. Specify the name of this user in the RECEIVER CONSOLE USERNAME text box. This user should also be logged in at all times for the simulator to run continuously.

• If the user specified in Receiver Console Username belongs to a domain, specify the name of the domain in the RECEIVER CONSOLE DOMAIN text box. By default, none is specified against this text box.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS button will appear in this page. Clicking on this button will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
