How to test the Citrix XML service

Issue\Requirement:

The Citrix XML service is slow to respond or or need to ensure it is working correctly.

Resolution\Process:

To test the performance of the XML service and as a basic test, browse to the following website (replacing the server name with your Citrix server):

http://citrixservername/citrix/xenapp/scripts/ctxsta.dll

This should return a 405 message in a timely fashion. If this does not, you may have an issue.

Additional information\Notes:

To use the XML service without using IIS you can use the following article:

http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX104063

This will not be using a certificate so is therefore not secured. Therefore in CSG do not check “Secure traffic between the STA and the Secure Gateway”. Use the TCP port that you have made the XML service listen on.
