APM Citrix tidy session termination

Storefront always makes a request that ends with Logoff(i.e. /Citrix/Storeweb/Authentication/Logoff) - so you can easily modify the iRule to trap workd "Logoff" instead of "loggedout" and that should solve the issue for you.

Hi Vinocalk,

Their is a newer iApp on Devcentral that includes additional support for storefront, it will have the correct uri within the "logged out" irule that is generated by the iApp for when users log out of their storefront session. The iApp also gives you the option to not use the iRule to log users off their sessions if that is desired. The APM policy has a idle timeout value that will end idle session after a certain number of minutes, the iApp sets this value to 15 minutes and can be modified to whatever value meets your needs.

Hi, I am in the same boat as vinocalc. Also I have tried the new iApp (1.1.0RC4), but I am unable to test it since when using that to NOT replace the Web INterface (I am using WI 5.4) The Web INterface page is blank after logging in.

As soon as I revert back to the older iApp there is no problem showing the WI 5.4 interface - but then I don't have the possibility to change the timeout...

But I could just check the iRule in the new iApp and then mimic that to the older iApp? Would that be possible?

Yes, you can modify your existing iRule to whatever delay value you would like. However, it sounds like you want to modify the APM policies idle timeout value rather then the iRules delay timer. The only purpose of the irule is to terminate the users APM session when they log off the Citrix WEB server. In some cases, the behavior of the irule is not desired and can be removed. Check out the properties page of your access policy and you will note a 900 second idle timeout value, modify this value to match your web interface idle timeout value.

It surprises me that you had trouble with the new iApp, did you apply the template to your existing iApp deployment or create a separate iApp instance?

Hello Greg,

And sorry for the late response. I changed my iRules in the old iApp, and then I got what I wanted, the timeout is controlled from the XenApp server.

In regards to your questions in the end:

I did create a new iApp instance. Several times.. As well - deleted it - and recreated. Got the same error all the time. As soon as I revert back to the older iApp the WI renders okay again.
