Session Login Status Test

Administrators typically use the Change logon command line tool to enable / disable logons from client sessions to the Citrix / Microsoft RDS server. Disabling client logons will deny all users access to the server. Whenever users complaint of login failures, administrators might first want to check the status of the client logons to determine whether it has been disabled or not. This test periodically reports the status of logons from client sessions to the Citrix / Microsoft RDS server.

Target of the test : A Microsoft RDS server

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results the Microsoft RDS server being monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameters	Description
Test period	This indicates how often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	Enter the port to which the host listens

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Session login status	Indicates whether the client sessions to the server are currently enabled or not.	Percent	If the value for this measure is 100, it indicates that client logons are enabled. In this case, both new client sessions and reconnections to existing sessions will be allowed. If the value of this measure is 0, it indicates that client logons are disabled. In this case, both new client sessions and reconnections to existing sessions will be disallowed. If this measure reports a value (be it 0 or 100), then the other two measures of this test will not report any value.
Are new user logons disabled ?	Indicates whether/not new user logons are disabled.		If only new user logons are disabled, then this measure will report the value Yes. This implies that, new client sessions will be disallowed, but reconnections to existing sessions will be allowed. If the value of this measure is Yes, then the Session login status measure and the Are new user logons disabled until server is restarted? measure will not report any values. If both new user logons and reconnections to existing user sessions are allowed, then this measure will not report any value. Instead, the Session login status measure will report the value 100. Likewise, if both new user logons and reconnections to existing user sessions are disallowed, then once again, this measure will not report any value. Instead, the Session login status measure will report the value 0. Similarly, if new user logons are not disabled permanently, but only until server restart, then, this measure will not report any value. Instead, the Are new user logons disabled until server is restarted? measure will report the value Yes . Note: In the graph of this measure, the value Yes for this measure will be represented using the numeric value 0.
Are new user logons disabled until server is restarted?	Indicates whether/not new user logons have been disabled until the server is restarted.		If new user logons alone are disabled until the server is restarted, then the value of this measure will be Yes. This implies that, new client sessions will be disallowed until such time the server is restarted, but reconnections to existing sessions will be allowed. If the value of this measure is Yes, then the Session login status measure and the Are new user logons disabled? measure will not report any values. If both new user logons and reconnections to existing user sessions are allowed, then this measure will not report any value. Instead, the Session login status measure will report the value 100. Likewise, if both new user logons and reconnections to existing user sessions are disallowed, then once again, this measure will not report any value. Instead, the Session login status measure will report the value 0. Similarly, if new user logons are disabled permanently – i.e., not just until server restart - then, this measure will not report any value. Instead, the Are new user logons disabled? measure will report the value Yes . Note: In the graph of this measure, the value Yes for this measure will be represented using the numeric value 0.
