Default Parameters for CtxCdXmlAccessTest

This test emulates a user accessing the XML service port and requesting for a list of applications available to him/her. By emulating a request, this test checks that the entire login and application enumeration process using the XML service and IMA service of Citrix is functioning properly.

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

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

• This test connects to the XML service through the Cloud Connector's URL. To enable this connection, specify the connector's URL in the CONNECTOR URL text box.

• Specify the name of a user with access to one/more applications on the XenApp server in the USERNAME text box.

• In the PASSWORD text box, specify the password for the user specified above.

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

• Enter the name of the domain to which the user specified above belongs in the DOMAIN text box.

• Indicate the domain type against the DOMAINTYPE parameter.

• In environments where network connections are normally fuzzy and latencies are to be expected, the availability and response time checks performed by this test, may not always report accurate results. False alarms may hence be generated. In such environments therefore, you may want the test to try connecting to the XML service a few more times before reporting the availability and responsiveness of the service. To instruct the test to do so, you can use the NO OF TRIES and SLEEP TIME parameters. In the NO OF TRIES text box, indicate the number of times the test should try reconnecting to the XML service, and in the SLEEP TIME text box, specify how long (in seconds) the test should wait for a response from the service before attempting to reconnect. Both these parameters are set to 1 by default.

• Specify the duration (in seconds) for which the test needs to wait for a response from the server in the TIMEOUT text box. At the end of this duration, the test will timeout. The default is 30 seconds.

• By default, the ENCODING FORMAT is set to UTF-8, for providing code compatibility when the test is executed in different language platforms.

• Specify the version of the NFUSE Protocol in the NFUSE PROTOCOL VERSION text box. By default the version is set to 5.1.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, 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.
