Citrix: User processes are still active after Log-out

-

What happened?

In a customer environment they had the problem that the processes from logged out users are still active and couldn't been closed from the Service Desk.
It's a 7.13 XenApp provisioned environment on Server 2016 with Sharefile.
And that was the problem.
After a bit of investigating we found out that every time a user has Citrix SharFile Drive Mapper open (exact doing see in "When does the error occur") the Log-out process will be blocked and the explorer from the connected users isn't working anymore.
As soon as we closed the Drive Mapper process the running processes from the logged out user closed immediately.

We could reproduce the error with ShareFile Version 3.6 on Server 2016 and Windows 10. We couldn't reproduce the error with ShareFile 3.6 on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 it woked correctly here.

When does the error occur?

Every time we moved a file in our Drive Mapper and tried to open it directly from Drive Mapper When we closed the Drive Mapper, reopened it and then tried to open the file from the Drive Mapper it worked.
When we used the Website to move the file to the Drive Mapper and open it afterwards from the Drive Mapper it works.

Workaround

Close the Drive Mapper process and it will work again for every user immediatley.

Solution

We expect one next week from Citrix. I will keep you up to date.

Export a list of all XenApp 7.x published applications via Powershell

If you want to export a list of all published applications used in your environment you can do this with PowerShell. First add the Citrix PowerShell snapin: asnp Citrix.* Then run the Command which will export a TXT File which contains the Published Name and the Application Name. This can be extended to almost anything you need. More parameters you'll find in the Citrix Developer Documentation: https://developer-docs.citrix.com/projects/delivery-controller-sdk/en/7.17/Broker/Get-BrokerApplication/ MaxRecordCount 300 extends the output to 300 objects. The default value is 250. If you have more then 250 Applications you need this value.  Get-Brokerapplication -MaxRecordCount 300 | Select-Object PublishedName,ApplicationName | fl >c:\application.txt Then you'll find the TXT file in your specified output folder: It will be displayed like this:

Implementing Single Sign On with NetScaler and Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD)

I wrote a manual how you can realize a Single Sign on Solution with Kerberos KCD and NetScaler. It's possible to restrict the user delegation to certain services/protocols on a server. You'll need this if NetScaler is not knowing the user password. If it knows the user password you can realize the SSO with Kerberos Impersonation. This will be an extra post. Let's start with creating a KCD account. 1. Create KCD Accounts Create KCD Account in AD Password never expires should be chosen 1.1    Enable the delegation tab for this user You can activate it with setspn ( It is available if you have the Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) server role installed) Needs to be run from an elevated command prompt setspn -A host/KCDTest@simon.ns simon\KCDTest 1.2 Choose the delegation option Here you need to chose "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only" and also "use any authentication protocol".

How to: Create a Client Certificate for LDAPS with OpenSSL

Today I will introduce you my new article on how to create a client certificate with OpenSSL so that you can use it for LDAPS You need to create two files in your new folder which we will need later on (I prefer notepad++ for the creation of my files): 1             1.  Your request.inf file 2             2.  Your v3ext.txt file 1.     Request.inf (save as .inf with notepad++) [Version]  Signature="$Windows NT$"  [NewRequest]  Subject = "CN= your-active-diretory.fqdn” f.ex : “simonAD.testinfo.com” (enter the FQDN of your AD Server)  KeySpec = 1  KeyLength = 2048 (enter the key length with fits your need. Some say you need to take at leas 2048 to make LDAPS work)  Exportable = TRUE  MachineKeySet = TRUE  SMIME = FALSE  PrivateKeyArchive = FALSE  UserProtected = FALSE  UseExistingKeySet = FALSE  ProviderName = "Microsoft RSA SChannel Cryptographic Provider"  ProviderType = 12  RequestType = PKCS10  KeyUsage = 0
