Language Authentications Test

In large virtualized environments, at any given point of time, thousands of users from different zones of the world may be trying to access the published applications and virtual desktops. In such a situation, language plays a major role when a user tries to login through the Citrix Workspace App. Based on the language preference of the users, the Language Authentications test helps you to determine the rate at which the users are authenticated and how long it took for the Citrix Storefront to authenticate the users. In addition, this test helps you to identify the rate at which the change password requests have been entertained and the average time taken to change the password.

Target of the test : Citrix StoreFront Server

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Citrix Storefront server being monitored.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Authenticate calls	Indicates the rate at which users are authenticated by this Citrix StoreFront based on their chosen language preference.	Calls/sec	A high value is desired for this measure.
Authenticate average time	Indicates the average time taken by this Citrix StoreFront server to authenticate the users.	Secs	A low value is desired for this measure. A gradual increase in the value of this measure is an indication of the unavailability of the database that is required for authentication or a performance bottleneck.
Change password calls	Indicates the rate at which the password change request from the users are processed by this Citrix StoreFront server.	Calls/sec
