Configuration of ACLoginTest

By tracking user sessions to the AppController, the ACLoginTest test helps administrators gauge the workload of the AppController and quickly capture failed login attempts.

For this test to run and report metrics, the AppController should be configured to create a Syslog file in a remote Syslog server, where the details and status of all user interactions with the AppController will be logged. To configure the Syslog server where this Syslog file should be created, refer to the Monitoring the Citrix AppController document.

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.

• Specify the host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• This test reports metrics by parsing a Syslog file. Specify the full path to the Syslog file in the LOG FILE PATH text box. To know how to configure the Syslog server where the AppController will be creating this file, click here.

• Indicate whether/not AppController is SSL-enabled. By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box 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.
