Configuration of CtxFedAuthSvcTest

This test reveals the count of active sessions on Citrix FAS and the count of concurrent certificate signing requests to it, thus providing administrators with a measure of the load on the server. The test further ‘qualifies’ the load as high, medium, and low, thereby enabling you to promptly detect overload conditions. Also, by reporting the average time taken by FAS to service the CSR requests and the rate at which requests are typically serviced, eG Enterprise reveals how efficiently FAS processes the requests. This way, eG Enterprise also brings processing bottlenecks to light.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. By default, this is set to 5 minutes.

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

• In the PORT text box, specifyt the port at which the specified host listens.

• 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.
