Default Parameters for CtxXmlTicketTest

The CtxXmlTicketTest is used to validate that the XML to IMA service interaction and the interaction between the IMA service and the terminal service on each system are working as expected. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the CtxXmlTicketTest.

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

  • This test connects to the web interface and issues an XML request asking the XML service for permission to login and access the application. Therefore, in the USER text box, provide a valid user name which the test should use for connecting to the web interface.

  • Provide the PASSWORD of the specified USER.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD box.

  • In the DOMAIN text box, provide the domain to which the user logs in.

  • A Citrix web interface can be set up to authenticate users by connecting to a Windows domain, or a Unix domain, or a Novell domain. The DOMAINTYPE value represents the type of domain being used to validate the user. The default value is "NT". For Unix, use "UNIX" and for Novell, use "NDS" in the DOMAINTYPE setting.

  • The web interface through which these tests are executing may be configured for HTTP or HTTPS access. If HTTPS access is configured, then the SSL parameter should be set to YES. The default setting is NO.

  • In the XMLHOST and XMLPORT text boxes, provide the IP/hostname and port number (respectively) of the web interface to which this test will attempt to connect.

  • Once the necessary values have been entered, clicking on the UPDATE button will 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.
